In November 2019, bloodsucking lice were identified in Arctic foxes in Svalbard for the first time, coinciding with similar findings in Nunavut, Canada. Genetic analysis revealed that lice from both regions were 100 % identical, suggesting the presence of a previously undescribed species distinct from dog lice. The origin of the lice remains uncertain, but historical evidence of lice in Canadian Arctic foxes from the 1990s supports the hypothesis that they may have been introduced to Svalbard by migrating Arctic foxes.
