We studied the ectoparasitic bat flies of three phyllostomid vampire bat species. Bats were collected monthly from April 2004-March 2005 True ectoparasites spend most of their adult lives, or all developmental phases, on the bodies of their hosts or in their hosts' shelters (Marshall 1982). Streblidae (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) are obligate ectoparasites of bats (Dick & Patterson 2008) and, consequently, are found primarily in tropical areas with relatively few species in the subtropical and warm temperate zones .Knowledge of bat ectoparasites has provided important information on the host's biology, systematics and phylogeny (Fritz 1983) and is essential for better understanding the ecology of bats and bat behaviour in shelters. This knowledge has also explained aspects of larviposition and infestation by ectoparasites and the epidemiology of pathogen transmission in bats (Komeno & Linhares 1999).The host's roosting habits are important factors in the bat-ectoparasite system (ter Hofstede et al. 2004, Patterson et al. 2007, Seneviratne et al. 2009). The variability in bat roosting preferences and ectoparasite fauna provides significant insights relating to parasite ecology and specificity (ter Hofstede et al. 2004). Host specificity is typical for parasite-host associations and is often even higher in obligate or permanent parasite associa- tions (Dick et al. 2009). Ectoparasites can be classified as heteroxenous when they can infest many species in many genera, monoxenous when they are found on only one host species, stenoxenous when they are found on host species of the same genus and oligoxenous when they are found regularly on hosts of different genera (ter Hofstede et al. 2004).The Brazilian savannah, also known as the cerrado, covers approximately two million km 2 of Central Brazil and is considered one of the richest and most threatened biodiversity reservoirs in the world (Mittermeier et al. 2005). This region is responsible for most Brazilian soy and corn production and ranching in this region produces almost 40 million heads of cattle per year (Aguiar et al. 2008). Bats account for nearly 50% of the total mammalian fauna of the cerrado biome (Aguiar & Machado 2010). This generates a great deal of concern due to their association with rabies, though most rabies cases are caused by just one vampire species, Desmodus rotundus (Gonçalves et al. 2002). Of the vampire bat species, D. rotundus is the most common and widespread species in Central and South America. Their primary food source is mammalian blood, but they also feed on avian blood. The two other vampire bat species, Diaemus youngi and Diphylla ecaudata, are rare and feed mainly on avian blood (Aguiar et al. 2006).There are few studies on bat ectoparasites and their relationship with their hosts in Brazil (Gettinger & Gribel 1989, Komeno & Linhares 1999 Graciolli et al. 2008). The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree of host specificity of the bat flies on vampire bat species in the cerrado of Central Brazil. Previous studies of ect...

A total of 70 streblid species have been recorded in Brazil, although the vast majority of the data are from the southern and central regions of the country (Graciolli & Carvalho 2001, Aguiar et al 2006, Dias et al 2009), whereas few faunistic surveys have been conducted in the Northeast, where only 26 streblid species have been reported. Most of these species (22) were recorded during a long-term survey in Maranhão state (Dias et al 2009), while Rios et al (2008) registered two other species in Bahia state.…”

Bat flies were surveyed between March, 2007 and February, 2008, in the Carnijó Private Natural Heritage Reserve (08° 07' S and 35° 05' W), an area of Atlantic Rainforest in the municipality of Moreno, in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Bats were captured biweekly using mist nets set during six hours each night. The ectoparasites were collected with tweezers and/or a brush wet in ethanol and stored in 70% ethanol. The specimens are deposited in the zoological reference collection of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul. Sixteen species of streblid bat flies were collected from 10 bat species of the family Phyllostomidae. Thirteen of the these streblid species were recorded for the first time in Pernambuco.

“…Pela facilidade de captura e de manipulação do hospedeiro e a melhor visualização dos dípteros sobre o corpo de morcegos, vários artigos têm sido publicados sobre a ocorrência de dípteros ectoparasitos de morcegos no Brasil (por exemplo, Dias et al, 2009;Graciolli & Bianconi, 2007;Graciolli et al, 2010;Lourenço & Esbérard, 2011;Aguiar & Antonini, 2011). Além disso, artigos recentes sobre a taxonomia dessas famílias de dípteros ectoparasitos de morcegos têm facilitado a identificação dos gêneros e das espécies e despertado o interesse de estudantes e pesquisadores (Dick & Miller, 2010;Graciolli, 2004;Graciolli & Azevedo, 2011;Graciolli & Carvalho, 2001a;2001b;Graciolli & Dick, 2012;Graciolli & Moura, 2005), enquanto importantes contribuições sobre a taxonomia de hipoboscídeos neotropicais são mais escassos (Graciolli & Carvalho, 2003;, sendo os mais importantes publicados a mais 40 anos (Bequaert, 1954;Maa, 1969;Peterson & Maa, 1970), por exemplo.…”
