Ocorrência de Rhinonyssus rhinolethrum (Trouessart, 1895) (Acarina: Rhinonyssidae) em marreca caneleira Dendrocygna bicolor (Vieillot, 1816) e marreca piadeira Dendrocygna viduata (Linnaeus, 1766) na região sul do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The authors report the occurrence of the nasal mite Rhinonyssus rhinolethrum (Trouessart, 1895) (Acarina: Rhinonyssidae) in free-living fulvous whistling duck Dendrocygna bicolor (Vieillot, 1816) and white-faced whistling-duck Dendrocygna viduata (Linnaeus, 1766)

Host-Parasite relationships and co-infection of nasal mites of Chrysomus ruficapillus (Passeriformes: Icteridae) in southern Brazil

“…Most studies of nasal mites has taxonomic character and consist in descriptions and re-descriptions species, construction of identification keys and researches of nasal mites in wildlife largely realized in North America (Pence, 1973a(Pence, ,b, 1975Spicer, 1987;Knee & Proctor, 2006, 2010Knee et al, 2008). Others were realized in Cuba (Cerny & Dusbabek, 1970), Australia (Domrow, 1978;Proctor & Owens, 2000), Russia (Dimov & Mascarenhas, 2012), and Brazil (Amaral & Rebouças, 1974a;Mascarenhas et al, 2009Mascarenhas et al, , 2011Coimbra et al, 2012;Bernardon et al, 2013Bernardon et al, , 2015Bernardon et al, , 2017Mendes et al, 2014 andSinkoc et al, 2016. In recent decades, complementary studies on phylogenetic relationships that use molecular techniques have been developed (Rojas et al, 2001(Rojas et al, , 2002Morelli & Spicer, 2007) while studies that analyze the infections by nasal mites in the host, such as the one performed in this study with Passeriformes, are little discussed.…”
