===Identification===
  −
''Haematopinus eurysternus'' is one of the largest louse currently seen on domestic mammals. 
  −
The abdomen is dark blue and the head and thorax is a greyish yellow.  The eggs have a very thick outer shell, and are white in colour.

  −
===Life Cycle===
  −
The females lay one egg per day for around 2 weeks, which is their approximate lifespan.  The eggs are sticky and glue themselves to the hairs of the host, in this case, cattle.  The eggs hatch in 1-2 weeks, transforming into nymphs.  Nymphs then transform into mature adults about 14 days later.  The female will then begin to lay eggs, and infect the host.
