Lipoptena cervi
''Lipoptena cervi'', the deer ked or deer fly, is a species of biting fly in the family of louse flies, Hippoboscidae. These flies are commonly encountered in temperate areas of Europe, Siberia and Northern China. It has been introduced to North America.〔Fact Sheets. (Deer Keds ). Department of Entomology, Pennsylvania State University. Retrieved 2015-09-26.〕 They are parasites of elk, deer and other bovine animals, burrowing through the fur and sucking the blood of the host animals. ''L. cervi'' is relatively small, adults usually being in length and are brownish in colour. Their body is flat and elastic, making their removal difficult. ''L. cervi'' is a poor flier and can only fly for short distances. Once the insect reaches its target, it sheds its wings and starts burrowing through the fur.
==Bite==
''L. cervi'' can be a nuisance, but are generally harmless. They will not reproduce on any other host than deer. They will however bite humans, and the bites are said to be painful and may cause an allergic skin reaction. Initially the bite may be barely noticeable and leaves little or no trace. Within 3 days, the site develops into a hard, reddened welt. The accompanying itch is intense and typically lasts 14 to 20 days. Occasionally, an itch papule may persist for a year. The main annoyance in humans is the inconvenience and unpleasantness of removing keds from hair and clothes.
Horses have been attacked, with severe symptoms of colic as a result. Dogs that are bitten may develop a moderate to severe dermatitis.〔 German researchers have found that ''L. cervi'' can carry and spread the ''Bartonella'' bacterium ''Bartonella schoenbuchensis'' in deer.〔
Remains of ''Lipoptena cervi'' have been found on Ötzi, the Stone Age mummy from the Schnalstal glacier in South Tyrol.
