Effects of anthropogenic disturbance and climate on patterns of bat fly parasitism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Environmental conditions, including anthropogenic disturbance, can significantly alter host and parasite communities. Yet, our current knowledge is based mainly on endoparasites, while ectoparasites remain little studied.

Ascodipteron sanmingensis sp. nov., a new bat fly (Hippoboscidae: streblid grade) from Fujian, China [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021
The bat fly genus Ascodipteron Adensamer, 1896 currently contains 15 species, all of which occur in tropical and subtropical areas of the Eastern Hemisphere. A new species of endoparasitic bat fly, Ascodipteron sanmingensis sp.

First report of the bat fly species Basilia italica in Romania [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2021
Bat flies are haematophagous ectoparasites, highly specialised to bats and are also considered to have vectorial potential for several pathogens like Bartonella spp. or Polychromophilus spp.

Remarkably low host specificity in the bat fly Penicillidia fulvida (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) as assessed by mitochondrial COI and nuclear 28S sequence data [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background The recognition and delineation of morphologically indistinguishable cryptic species can have broad implications for wildlife conservation, disease ecology and accurate estimates of biodiversity.

Molecular identification of bat fly species and associated Bartonella bacteria from Lopburi and Sa Kaeo Provinces in Thailand [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Bat flies harbour several species of bacteria, including Bartonella. We examined 50 bat flies collected from five species of cave-dwelling bats (Eonycteris spelaea, Hipposideros larvatus, Taphozous theobaldi, T.

A comprehensive genetic and phylogenetic study of Trypanosoma spp. in bats and sand flies from shared habitats in Thailand [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bats are known reservoirs for various pathogens, many of which can infect other animals through blood-feeding arthropods. Over 100 bat species have been identified as hosts for kinetoplastid protozoans, including ≥ 30 distinct Trypanosoma spp.

Diversity of ectoparasitic bat flies (Diptera, Hippoboscoidea) in inter-Andean valleys: evaluating interactions in the largest inter-Andean basin of Colombia [PDF]

ZooKeys
Flies belonging to the families Streblidae and Nycteribiidae are highly specialized arthropods that feed on the blood of bats. Their morphology varies and has adapted throughout their coevolutionary history with hosts. Bat flies are often associated with

Host associations and genetic diversity of bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) in bats from Thailand [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bat flies belong to the order Diptera and superfamily Hippoboscoidea. They can be divided into two families, Streblidae and Nycteribiidae, which collectively encompass 239 and 280 species worldwide, respectively.

Molecular Detection and Genetic Diversity of Bat‐Associated Bartonella spp. in Bat Ectoparasites Collected From Ratchaburi Province, Thailand [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Introduction Bats are known to harbour Bartonella bacteria, which can be found in several species of bats. Various ectoparasites can infest bats and harbour the bacteria, serving as important vectors for diverse Bartonella species.

Asynchronous seasonal dynamics of nycteribiid bat flies and Bartonella spp. in Australian flying foxes (Pteropus spp.) [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Bat flies are ubiquitous ectoparasites of bats, recognised as potential vectors for viral and bacterial transmission between individual bats within a roost. Despite this, little is known about the seasonal dynamics of bat flies.
