Network and parasitological analyses reveal latitudinal gradient in bats‐ectoparasitic fly interactions across the Neotropic [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Ecological interactions between parasites and their hosts play a fundamental role in evolutionary processes. Selection pressures are exerted on parasites and their hosts, usually resulting in high levels of specificity.

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.

Reinfestation of Streblidae ectoparasites (Diptera) in Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Chiroptera) Reinfestação de ectoparasitas Streblidae (Diptera) em Carollia perspicillata (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mammalia: Chiroptera) [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2011 The mark-recapture method allows analysis on the variation in the abundance of bat ectoparasites at consecutive captures. The objectives of this study were to compare the pattern of Streblidae parasitism between capture and recapture of C. perspicillata;

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-

Virome characterization and identification of a putative parvovirus and poxvirus in bat ectoparasites of Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
One Health, 2023 Ectoparasites found on bats are known to contain important microbes. However, the viruses hosted by these obligate parasites are understudied. This has led to the near oversight of the potential role of these ectoparasites in virus maintenance and ...
