What's up friends?
Trumpyboy back with another useless yet interesting fact!
This time it's about conservation-induced extinction. In layman's terms it refers to a species going extinct due to conservation efforts to save some other species.
Now it may sound sad but it's not that bad as most recorded cases of species going extinct that way are parasites. This is because when the last individuals of a species are captured for conservation purposes they typically undergo anti-parasitic treatment and as a result any parasites that are too specific for that species they go extinct.
One such example is colpocephalum californici a type of louse parasitizing on the Californian condor. When the few remaining condors were deloused and treated with pesticides during a captive breeding program the species went bust.
Colpocephalum sp. source
Interestingly, this matter has sparked some debate in the scientific community. Don't know about you but I think the world can survive with a few parasites less :)
Anyways, this concludes today's post. Feel free to click any of the links above if you wish to further educate yourself.
Stay tuned for more useless facts!

One day we will find out that entire ecosystems were wiped out by the loss of a louse. 😮

The world will go on without a few parasites... It's not real likely that those parasites held the secrets of eternal youth for man kind...

It's weird but I don't really feel sorry for the parasites. I know they are specific to some organisms but I just don't think they affect life much.

@tipu curate
Justice for we parasites!!!!!
But science is silent about the tragic fact of the disappearance of lice that lived on lice, perhaps this was the reason for the disappearance of lice, the keepers of lice :) !VSC
