“…On the other hand, in Panamá, observed that some bat ectoparasite species of arthropods in tropical areas were restricted to higher strata, and consequently environments with lower temperatures. Species of streblid in Trichobius group phyllostomae and in genera Anatrichobius and Joblingia show the same distribution pattern in the American continent , Graciolli 2003, Graciolli and Carvalho 2012, Graciolli and Dick 2012, occurring in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, as well as northern South American and Central America, always 800 meters above sea level. Thus, the importance of sampling must be highlighted in various environments in order to better understand the distribution of bat ectoparasites in Brazil.…”

A total of 71 bat flies belonging to families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae, and 37 mites were collected on 12 species of bats (Phyllostomidae and Vespertilionidae) from the Chapada do Abanador (Minas Gerais, Brazil), between July 2009 and April 2010. Two new occurrences of ectoparasites were recorded on Histiotus velatus (bat fly Basilia producta) and on Carollia perspicillata (mite Parichoronyssus bakeri). Five new occurrences were recorded for the state of Minas Gerais, increasing the range for bat flies Anatrichobius passosi, Paraeuctenodes similis, Basilia juquiensis, Basilia producta and for mite Periglischrus vargasi. Moreover, two new species of mites were recorded for Brazil (P. bakeri and Macronyssus aff. leislerianus). With regard to infracommunities, the most frequent association was between Anastrebla modestini and Exastinion clovisi on bat Anoura geoffroyi. This study contributed to characterize the fauna of bat ectoparasites in representative but poorly-sampled environments of the Atlantic Forest, the campos de altitude (high altitude grasslands) and cloud forests of southern Minas Gerais.

“…As to be expected, the dipterous families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae form the majority of recorded parasites. The adaptation of both families to the use of bats as hosts is highly specific, but probably not a result of narrow parasite-host coevolution (Graciolli and Carvalho 2012). The authors suggest as one possible reason, that many of their hosts share roosts occasionally at least with closely related species, it is likely that host switching occurs.…”

Bats (Chiroptera) as Vectors of Diseases and Parasites

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The highest density of bat species in the world is reached in South and Central America. Representatives of nine families occur in this gigantic region between the southern part of the continental twin and the land bridge to North America. They display a high degree of ecological variance: exemplified by species with extensive or endemic distributions, specialist and generalist feeding habits, colonial and solitary roosting, and those that are migratory or permanently resident. However, they are all exposed to the deleterious effects of parasites. In terms of the number of species and higher taxa, the diversity of parasites considerably exceeds that of their hosts. A total of 172 bat species of 9 families as hosts and 273 ectoparasite species are summarised in this review. We included data from 20 South and Central American countries. Of foremost importance are Diptera of the families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae with 187 different species. For the last mentioned family, we recorded more than 61 % of the worldwide known species. Further, fleas (Siphonaptera) (8 species), bugs (Hemiptera) (4 species) and Arachnida of the orders Ixodida and Mesostigmata (74 species) are also represented. The large numbers of species, like Basilia carteri, belong to the two families of Diptera, which parasitise only on bats. Together with their high degree of specialisation, it is an indication for their high rate of adaptation. Investigations on the parasite fauna of bats have been conducted in the named areas with different frequency and intensity. This chapter contains a reference list of the bats that have been scientifically studied in South and Central America so far, with respect to their associated parasites. We

“…The host specificity is mainly determined by ecological factors and geographical isolation (Dick & Patterson 2006, Dick & Pospischil 2015. Despite the high specificity in the host-parasite interaction between bats and flies, some authors consider that this is probably not the result of a strict coevolution (Graciolli & Carvalho 2012). However, another study based on phylogenetic analyses of 15 bat host species parasitized by nine Nycteribiidae taxa found a significant signal of phylogenetic congruence (putative host-parasite coevolution) (Ramasindrazana et al 2017).…”

FIRST RECORD OF THE PARASITE BAT FLY Basilia mimoni THEODOR & PETERSON, 1964 (DIPTERA: NYCTERIBIIDAE) IN COLOMBIA

The ectoparasites of bats belonging to the family Nycteribiidae (Insecta, Diptera) are highly specialized and little is known about this family in the New World. Only two genera of the family Nycteribiidae are catalogued in Colombia, Basilia, with seven species, and Hershkovitzia, with only one species. This is the first report of Basilia mimoni in Colombia. Two females and one male were collected from the bat Gardnerycteris keenani (Chiroptera, Phyllostomidae). These records broaden the distribution range of this parasite species in Latin America and increase to nine the number of species in the family Nycteribiidae in Colombia.
