The Complete Mitochondrial Genomes and Phylogenetic Analysis of Two Nycteribiidae Bat Flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA Part B: Resources, 2022 We sequenced the complete mitochondrial genomes of two bat fly species within the Nycteribiidae (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) – Dipseliopoda setosa (Cyclopodiinae) and Basilia ansifera (Nycteribiinae).

Bat Flies of the Family Streblidae (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) Host Relatives of Medically and Agriculturally Important “Bat-Associated” Viruses [PDF]
Viruses, 2021 Bat flies (Hippoboscoidea: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) are obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of bats. We collected streblid bat flies from the New World (México) and the Old World (Uganda), and used metagenomics to identify their viruses. In México,

Study of Mitogenomes Provides Implications for the Phylogenetics and Evolution of the Infraorder Muscomorpha in Diptera [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe Muscomorpha is one of the most species‐rich brachyceran groups in Diptera, with many species serving as important disease vectors; however, its high‐level phylogenetic relationships have long been controversial and unsolved.

Exploring the relationship between bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) and ectoparasitic flies (Diptera, Hippoboscoidea) of the Orinoquia Region in South America [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2023 Bat flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) have been used to study co-evolutionary patterns between ectoparasites and bats. In the world, Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are represented by approximately 276 and 237 species, respectively.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Ornithomya biloba (Diptera, Hippoboscidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Ornithomya biloba (Dufour 1827) was first sequenced and annotated in this study as the first representative of the genus Ornithomya. The complete mitogenome is 18,654 bp in length and contains 37 genes (13 protein-

Specialization of bat-fly interactions at different elevations in a montane forest of northern Peru [PDF]
ParasitologyHippoboscoidea flies exhibit highly specific ectoparasitic relationships with bats, shaped by both intrinsic factors (e.g. bat behaviour) and extrinsic factors (e.g. land use).
