[[Lice]] exist naturally on cattle, and in small numbers are of little pathological importance.  Moderate infections may be associated with dermatitis, and heavy infections may be more serious.  Heavy louse infestation is referred to as [[Pediculosis|pediculosis]].  Transfer of lice from animal to animal is usually via direct physical contact.
