===Parasites===
Hummingbirds host a highly specialized lice fauna. Two genera of [[Ricinidae|Ricinid]] lice, [[Trochiloecetes]] and [[Trochiliphagus]], are specialized on them, often infesting 5–15% of their populations. In contrast, two genera of [[Menoponidae|Menoponid]] lice, [[Myrsidea]] and [[Leremenopon]]{{clarify|date=March 2024}}, are extremely rare on them.<ref name="Oniki-Willis23">{{cite journal|last1=Oniki-Willis|first1=Yoshika|last2=Willis|first2=Edwin O|last3=Lopes|first3=Leonardo E|last4=Rozsa|first4=Lajos|title= Museum-based research on the lice (Insecta: Phthiraptera) infestations of hummingbirds (Aves: Trochilidae) – prevalence, genus richness, and parasite associations |journal= Diversity|volume=15|year=2023|issue=1 |pages=54|doi= 10.3390/d15010054|doi-access=free |bibcode=2023Diver..15...54O }}</ref><ref name="Sychra24">{{cite journal|last1=Sychra|first1=Oldřich|display-authors=etal|title= Multivariate study of lice (Insecta: Psocodea: Phthiraptera) assemblages hosted by hummingbirds (Aves: Trochilidae)|journal=Parasitology |volume=151|year=2024|issue=2 |pages=191–199|doi=10.1017/S0031182023001294|doi-access=free |pmid=38116659 |pmc=10941040}}</ref>
