Ecological and Economic Importance of Bats (Order Chiroptera)
International Scholarly Research Notices, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013 Order Chiroptera is the second most diverse and abundant order of mammals with great physiological and ecological diversity. They play important ecological roles as prey and predator, arthropod suppression, seed dispersal, pollination, material and nutrient distribution, and recycle. They have great advantage and disadvantage in economic terms.

HOST TRACKING OR RESOURCE TRACKING? THE CASE OF PERIGLISCHRUS WING MITES (ACARINA: SPINTURNICIDAE) OF LEAF-NOSED BATS (CHIROPTERA: PHYLLOSTOMIDAE) FROM MICHOACAN, MEXICO [PDF]
, 1999 We examined the issue of host tracking versus resource tracking in spinturnicid wing mites of the genus Periglischrus, which are associated with bats of the family Phyllostomidae. Several lines of evidence suggest that these mites are host tracking, that

How a haemosporidian parasite of bats gets around: the genetic structure of a parasite, vector and host compared. [PDF]
, 2015 Parasite population structure is often thought to be largely shaped by that of its host. In the case of a parasite with a complex life cycle, two host species, each with their own patterns of demography and migration, spread the parasite.

Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наукаThe ectoparasites of the bats (Chiroptera) often act as carriers of infectious agents dangerous to animals and humans. This determines the relevance of studying ectoparasite communities.

Ectoparasites on bats (Gamasida, Ixodida, Diptera) in Biscay (N lberian peninsula) [PDF]
, 1999 A study on ectoparasites infesting Chiroptera in Biscay (N lberian peninsula) was carried out during a distribution survey of bats. 160 potential hosts were examined and 664 ectoparasites were found, collected manually from living bats by means of ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 518-529, December 2024.Bats play a major role in the circulation of zoonotic pathogens. Mites (Macronyssidae and Spinturnicidae) may facilitate the long‐term maintenance (and even local recurrence) of Bartonella‐infestations. Mites may transmit several distinct Bartonella strains, which cluster phylogenetically close to Bartonella species known for their zoonotic role ...

Causal mechanisms underlying host specificity in bat ectoparasites [PDF]
, 2018 In parasites, host specificity may result either from restricted dispersal capacity or from fixed coevolutionary host-parasite adaptations. Knowledge of those proximal mechanisms leading to particular host specificity is fundamental to understand host ...
