Genus of lice
Brueelia (formerly spelled Brüelia ) is a genus of
bird lice in the family
Philopteridae that infest
Passerine (perching) birds. Lice in Brueelia are usually
host specific, with more than 85% of described species each found on a single host bird species. Over 300 species of Brueelia have been described, and many more specimens that are presumed to belong to Brueelia are awaiting description and naming.
