Annotated checklist of the bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) of Romania

Zootaxa, 2022
Bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea: Nycteribiidae, Streblidae) are obligate, blood-feeding, highly specialized ectoparasites of bats (Chiroptera). Of the 17 nycteribiid species present in Europe, 11 have been recorded in Romania. Here, we present a checklist with all the previously published data and new records from recent years, for a total of 2218 ...

Bartonellae are Prevalent and Diverse in Costa Rican Bats and Bat Flies

Zoonoses and Public Health, 2015
SummarySpecies in the bacterial genus,Bartonella, can cause disease in both humans and animals. Previous reports ofBartonellain bats and ectoparasitic bat flies suggest that bats could serve as mammalian hosts and bat flies as arthropod vectors. We compared the prevalence and genetic similarity of bartonellae in individual Costa Rican bats and their ...

Hyperparasitism in caves: Bats, bat flies and ectoparasitic fungus interaction

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2019
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiinae) are highly specialized bloodsucking bat ectoparasites. Some of the ectoparasitic bat flies are themselves parasitized with an ectoparasitic fungus of the genus Arthrorhynchus (Laboulbeniales).

Parasitism on bats by bat flies in remnants of a humid forest enclave area in Northeastern Brazil

Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2023
Flies are the main bloodsucking ectoparasites of Neotropical bats. The aim of this study was to describe the community of flies on bats from a humid forest enclave, surrounded by the semiarid landscape of the Caatinga domain, in Northeastern Brazil. In addition, we tested the influence of dry and rainy periods on the parasitological indices.

Bat flies: Obligate ectoparasites of bats

2007
Bat flies are highly specialized for a nearly permanent ectoparasitic relationship with their hosts, the Chiroptera. Although known life-histories are rather similar across all taxa, bat flies exhibit a variety of morphological adaptations, most suiting them for the two physical substrates offered to them by their bat hosts, the fur and the flight ...

Parasitism of ectoparasitic flies on bats in the northern Brazilian cerrado

Acta Parasitologica, 2013
AbstractIn this work we record the highest number of bat flies species among those already performed in the Brazilian cerrado and discuss the associations and patterns of parasitism of these species and their hosts. A total of 1,390 ectoparasitic flies were collected, belonging to 24 species of Streblidae and one of Nycteribiidae, parasitizing 227 bats

Roosting habits of bats affect their parasitism by bat flies (Diptera: Streblidae)

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2007
The Smithsonian Venezuela Project (SVP) conducted extensive surveys of mammals and ectoparasites in the 1960s. The 25 238 individuals and 130 species of bat collected by SVP hosted 36 663 streblid bat flies, representing 116 species of these ectoparasitic dipterans.

Sex biases in parasitism of neotropical bats by bat flies (Diptera: Streblidae)

Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2008
AbstractWe describe levels of parasitism of ectoparasitic bat flies (Hippoboscoidea: Streblidae) on male and female bats from an extensive Neotropical survey. The collection resulted from coordinated vertebrate-parasite surveys undertaken by the Smithsonian Venezuelan Project (SVP) from 1965–1968, which sexed 24 978 bats of 130 species.
