“…In Argentina, while several studies have greatly increased the availability of information regarding the relationship between ectoparasite insects (Diptera, Hemiptera and Siphonaptera) and bats (e.g., Autino et al 1999Autino et al , 2005Autino et al , 2009Autino et al , 2014Claps and Autino 2012), these studies have focused fundamentally on taxonomy, lacking an ecological analysis about this interaction. Studies that also provide such data (e.g., Marshall 1982;Patterson et al 1998;Poulin, 1998;Presley, 2004;terHofstede et al 2004;Dick 2005Dick , 2007Dick et al 2007) can contribute not only to investigations on specificity and cospeciation, but also on ectoparasite biology, behaviour, biodiversity, and natural history.…”

Among ectoparasites sampled from bats during diversity surveys in 2005 and 2008 in northern Argentina there were specimens of Paradyschiria parvula Falcoz, 1931 (Diptera, Streblidae) and Hesperoctenes vicinus Jordan, 1922 (Hemiptera, Polyctenidae) that represent first records for Argentina and Salta province, respectively. New ectoparasite-host associations and additional distributional records of ectoparasites were also recorded and are given for Jujuy and Salta provinces.

The Cimicidae is a family of blood‐dependent ectoparasites in which dispersion capacity is greatly associated with host movements. Bats are the ancestral and most prevalent hosts for cimicids. Cimicids have a worldwide distribution matching that of their hosts, but the global classification is incomplete, especially for species outside the most common Cimicidae taxa. In this study, we place a little‐studied cimicid species, Bucimex chilensis , within a comprehensive molecular phylogeny of Cimicidae by sequencing the genomic regions of this and other closely related species. For this study, we collected B. chilensis females from Myotis chiloensis in Tierra del Fuego, 1,300 km further south than previously known southernmost distribution boundary. We also sequenced COI regions from Primicimex cavernis , a species which together with B. chilensis comprise the entire subfamily Primiciminae. Using Bayesian posterior probability and maximum‐likelihood approaches, we found that B. chilensis and P. cavernis clustered close to each other in the molecular analyses, receiving support from similar morphological features, agreeing with the morphology‐based taxonomic placement of the two species within the subfamily Primiciminae. We also describe a previously unrecognized morphological adaptation of the tarsal structure, which allows the austral bat ectoparasite, B. chilensis , to cling on to the pelage of its known host, the Chilean myotis ( Myotis chiloensis ). Through a morphological study and behavioral observation, we elucidate how this tarsal structure operates, and we hypothesize that by clinging in the host pelage, B. chilensis is able to disperse effectively to new areas despite low host density. This is a unique feature shared by P. cavernis , the only other species in Primiciminae.

Bats (Chiroptera) as Vectors of Diseases and Parasites

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
