There are also several web sites that might help. Kansas State University has a great parasit web page.

To help identify some parasites we might go to Avian Medicine and Surgery (Harrison/Harrison), Avian medicine, principles and applications (Ritchie, etal) or Frye's Reptile Care. all three have some pictures and other information on a few parasites.
