Trichobius longipes (Diptera, Streblidae) as a parasite of Phyllostomus hastatus(Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae) [PDF]
Among the factors that influence the diversity of ectoparasites on bat hosts are the kind of roost and the host's social behavior. Other factors such as sex, reproductive condition and host size may influence the distribution and abundance of ectoparasites. The aim of the present study was to analyze the variation in Streblidae ectoparasites on the bat

On the bat parasites in Palestine I. Nycteribiidae, Streblidae, Hemiptera, Siphonaptera
In connexion with studies on bat malaria carried out by Prof. G. Mer and Dr N. Goldblum at the Malaria Research Station of the Hebrew University, a great number of ectoparasites of bats were submitted to us for identification. Together with material collected by us, over a thousand nycteribiids, streblids, Hemiptera, Siphonaptera, ticks and mites were ...

Bat flies such as Phthiridium biarticulatum Hermann are haematophagous ectoparasites of bats. Phthiridium biarticulatum was last recorded in the United Kingdom in 1959 and was considered regionally extinct. We report the presence of P. biarticulatum on Lesser Horseshoe Bats Rhinolophus hipposideros (Bechstein) across South West England.

The role of precipitation and host assemblage composition in shaping bat–bat fly network structure
Abstract Climatic seasonality plays an important role in shaping ecological interactions, including those between bats and their ectoparasitic bat flies. Although previous studies have acknowledged the influence of climate on the structure of bat–bat fly interaction networks, the existence of biogeographical patterns driven by climatic seasonality ...

Bat flies: source of supplement nutrients for an endemic Malagasy fruit bat
Among frugivorous vertebrates, the nutritional composition of consumed fruits often needs supplementing by other food types, such as leaves, pollen or invertebrates, to meet dietary requirements. The endemic Malagasy fruit bat, Rousettus madagascariensis

Prevalence and intensity of Streblidae in bats from a Neotropical savanna region in Brazil [PDF]
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bats of the family Phyllostomidae are common hosts to streblids known as bat flies. Here, we discuss the component community, prevalence and intensity of infection with species of Streblidae on an assemblage of phyllostomid bats in the Cafuringa Environmental Protection Area (APA Cafuringa) in the core
