However, the climate to which their hosts are exposed can cause changes in their populations, independent of the protection provided by their hosts. Despite its harsh climate, arid northern Chile is home to a wide variety of rodents, particularly cricetids. This area comprises four distinct ecoregions with different sub\u2010climates. We aimed to evaluate the spatial and seasonal variability of sucking lice (Anoplura) parasitizing rodents in northern Chile. Specifically, we analysed the association of environmental variables and host density with the louse point prevalence (P%), mean abundance (\n                    <jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>\n                    A) and mean infestation intensity (\n                    <jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>\n                    I). Rodent samples were collected during autumn and spring of 2011 and summer and winter of 2012 in 13 sites representative of the Coastal Desert (CD), Continental (Interior) Desert (ID), Andean Tropical (AT) and Pre\u2010Andean Tropical (PAT) ecoregions. A total of 992 rodents of eight species were captured and anaesthetized, and lice were collected and identified. The P%,\n                    <jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>\n                    A and\n                    <jats:sub>M<\/jats:sub>\n                    I of lice were estimated.
