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.

Morphological and molecular characterization of Cyclopodia bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) from Australian Pteropus hosts [PDF]

Parasitology
Bat flies (Diptera: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites of bats and are increasingly recognised for their potential role in host-specific co-evolution and disease transmission.

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.

Molecular Survey of Anaplasmataceae Agents, Rickettsia spp., Bartonella spp., and Piroplasmids in Ectoparasites from Cave-Dwelling Bats in Mainland Portugal [PDF]

Pathogens
Bats and their ectoparasites play a crucial role in understanding the ecology and transmission of vector-borne pathogens, yet these dynamics remain poorly studied in Portugal.

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

Vet Med Sci
Bat ectoparasites collected from four insectivorous bat species were identified through mitochondrial gene analysis. This study provides the first evidence of bat‐associated Bartonella species in ectoparasites, including bat flies (Phthiridium sp., Raymondia sp.

Chapitre 17. Hippoboscidae, Nycteribiidae et Streblidae (Diptera)

, 2017
Trois familles de diptères sont caractérisées par leur morphologie et leur biologie : les Hippoboscidae (louse flies ou keds en anglais) sont des ectoparasites d’oiseaux et de mammifères, alors que les Nycteribiidae et Streblidae (bat flies en anglais ...

Polychromophilus spp. (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae): First Molecular Detection in Bat Flies From Brazilian Bats. [PDF]

Integr Zool
This study identifies Polychromophilus sp. in blood‐feeding flies (Basilia speiseri and Basilia lindolphoi) from Myotis nigricans bats in Brazil, marking the first molecular detection of the parasite in an insect vector in this country. Two haplotypes were identified, both within the Polychromophilus murinus group.

Host Abundance Predicts Interactive Roles in Neotropical Bat-Bat Fly Interactions. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We analyzed the influence of bat functional traits on their importance as hosts in bat–bat fly networks. Our results indicate that bat abundance is the main driver for host importance in Neotropical bat–bat fly interactions. ABSTRACT Host functional traits are known to shape host‐parasite interactions across multiple taxa.
