“…There are previous records of species of cestodes of the genus Vampirolepis infecting chiropterans belonging to the Molossidae, Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae families ( Boero and Delpietro, 1970 , Milano, 2016 ). The two species found in this study fit in Vampirolepis due to their armed scolex with fraternoid hooks ( Vaucher, 1992 ). Despite the fact that the anatomy of the mature proglottids are needed in order to identify the species, a preliminary differentiation between other Argentinean species and the ones found in this study was carried out using the number of the rostellum's hooks.…”

Most of the studies on chiropteran endoparasites in Argentina come from the Central and Northeast regions of the country, and there is only one parasitological study of bats from the Argentinean Patagonia. The aim of this study is to describe the helminth fauna of 42 Myotis chiloensis, comparing the composition and the structure of the endoparasite communities between two populations, inhabiting different environments in Andean humid forest and the ecotone between forest and Patagonian steppe. A total of 697 helminths were recovered from 33 bats: five species of trematodes, Ochoterenatrema sp., Paralecithodendrium sp., Parabascus limatulus, Parabascus sp., and Postorchigenes cf. joannae, two species of cestodes, Vampirolepis sp. 1 and Vampirolepis sp. 2, and three species of nematodes, Allintoshius baudi, Physaloptera sp., and Physocephalus sp. All the helminths, but Physocephalus sp., were recovered from the small and large intestine. This is the first survey of M. chiloensis’ helminth fauna. All the species, but A. baudi, represent new records of helminths in Patagonian bats. There were differences of parasite species richness between localities and both bat populations share almost half of the endoparasite species. Different preferences for intestinal regions were found for three species of trematodes in the bats from the site in the humid forest. Myotis chiloensis serves as both a definitive and intermediate host for endoparasites in the Patagonian ecosystem.

“…Tapeworms of the genus Vampirolepis are commonly reported from bats in North America (Rausch 1975; Vaucher 1992). This tapeworm was previously reported from Rafinesque’s big-eared bat, Corynorhinus rafinesquii Lesson, 1827 from Arkansas (McAllister et al 2005).…”

Helminth (Cestoda, Nematoda) and coccidian (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) parasites of the eastern small-footed myotis, Myotis leibii (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) from Arkansas, with a description of a new species of Eimeria

During May and July 2016, 32 eastern small-footed myotis (Myotis leibii) were collected from five counties of northwestern Arkansas and their faeces examined for coccidian parasites. Four of 32 (13%) M. leibii harboured an eimerian that we describe here as new. Oocysts of Eimeria sassei sp. n. were ovoidal to ellipsoidal with a bi-layered wall and measured (length × width, L × W) 18.3 × 15.2 μm, with an L/W ratio of 1.2. A micropyle and oocyst residuum were absent but 1–2 polar granules were present. Sporocysts were ovoidal, 9.6 × 6.3 μm, with an L/W ratio of 1.5. A pronounced, button-like Stieda body was present but substieda and parastieda bodies were absent. A sporocyst residuum was present as distinct aligned or dispersed granules. One bat that we found dead was examined for helminth parasites. It harbored the tapeworm, Vampirolepis sp. and a nematode, Seuratum cancellatum. This is the first coccidian as well as the initial helminths reported from M. leibii. In addition, this is the seventh species of coccidian parasite documented from Arkansas bats.
