Parasitism on bats by bat flies in remnants of a humid forest enclave area in Northeastern Brazil
Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports, 2023Flies 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.

Parasitism of ectoparasitic flies on bats in the northern Brazilian cerrado
Acta Parasitologica, 2013AbstractIn 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, 2007The 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, 2008Abstract We 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 ...

Bats and their Bat Flies: Community Composition and Host Specificity on a Pacific Island Archipelago
Acta Chiropterologica, 2018(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats and their ectoparasites are excellent model organisms to assess the conservation status of protected areas because both groups are speciose, and bats can be particularly affected by land use changes.

THE STREBLID BAT FLIES (DIPTERA: STREBLIDAE) OF GUATEMALA
2006(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Streblid bat flies are obligate, blood feeding ectoparasites of bats. Despite a lack of sampling efforts, an impressive number of records exist of Guatemalan Streblidae. This study summarizes the published records of Guatemalan Streblidae.

Of birds and beasts: the evolution of louse and bat flies
Insect Systematics and DiversityAbstract Based on the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny to date, this study traces the evolution of louse flies and bat flies from their origin shortly after the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary. The bird-parasitic genus Ornithoica Rondani was recovered as the sister group to all other louse flies, supporting the hypothesis ...
