Moscas de murciélagos en algunas localidades de la costa peruana

open access: yesRevista Peruana de Biología, 2020
En el Perú se registran al menos 180 especies de murciélagos. Sin embargo, son pocos los estudios acerca de sus ectoparásitos, dentro de los cuales destacan las denominadas moscas de murciélagos (Diptera: Streblidae y Nycteribiidae), en los cuales se ...

First records of ectoparasitic insects (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) of bats in the department of Caldas, Colombia [PDF]

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020
In Colombia, the taxonomical understanding of ectoparasites (Diptera: Streblidae and Nycteribiidae) of bats is scarce, despite the high diversity of hosts.

Trends in Bacterial Pathogens of Bats: Global Distribution and Knowledge Gaps

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Bats have received considerable recent attention for infectious disease research because of their potential to host and transmit viruses, including Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, and multiple coronaviruses. These pathogens are occasionally transmitted from bats to wildlife, livestock, and to humans, directly or through other bridging (intermediate) hosts.

Louse flies holding on mammals' hair: Comparative functional morphology of specialized attachment devices of ectoparasites (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 12, Page 1561-1576, December 2022., 2022
The claws of the ectoparasitic flies of the Hippoboscoidea are most important to attach securely to the host fur. The gap between claw and claw base is of the same size as the hosts' hair, so that the flies' claws can interlock with the hosts' fur.

Bats and their ectoparasites (Nycteribiidae and Spinturnicidae) carry diverse novel Bartonella genotypes, China

open access: yesTransboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page e845-e858, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Bartonella species are facultative intracellular bacteria and recognized worldwide as emerging zoonotic pathogens. Bartonella were isolated or identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in bats and their ectoparasites worldwide, whereas the association between them was scarce, especially in Asia. In this study, a retrospective analysis with

Bat–bat fly interactions in Central Panama: host traits relate to modularity in a highly specialised network

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 686-699, September 2021., 2021
Network analyses of 6528 bats associated with 6077 ectoparasitic bat flies revealed extremely high host specificity, with organisation of the network in small subsets reflecting a highly modular network structure. Module structure appeared not to be host‐phylogeny driven, instead modules were often composed of bat species known to share roosting ...

Signs of a vector's adaptive choice: on the evasion of infectious hosts and parasite-induced mortality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Laboratory and field experiments have demonstrated in many cases that malaria vectors do not feed randomly, but show important preferences either for infected or non-infected hosts.
