Do young Carollia perspicillata (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) present higher infestation rates of Streblidae (Diptera)?

Abstract: Ecological aspects related to parasitism are one of the less studied issues in parasitology research, and the scarce evidence available supports that younger specimens present higher infestation rates. The purpose of this work is to establish if higher infestation rates are observed in nursing females and their young captured inside their roost. Bats were captured inside a shelter located in RPPN Estação Veracel, Santa Cruz de Cabrália, Bahia state, Brazil. A total of 56 individuals of Carollia perspicillata w… Show more

“…Lactating females have closer contact with their young, increasing the surface area for fly infestation, since both can share ectoparasites. Additionally, both spend more time in refuges (ESBERÁRD et al, 2012). Although RUI & GRACIOLLI (2005) concluded that there are no behavioral differences related to sex and age of the host that favor or impair infestation by P. longicrus of A. lituratus.…”

“…The Streblidae preference for female hosts have a behavioral explanation, since females spend more time in refuges due to parental care (ESBERÁRD et al, 2012). It should be recalled that larviposition, development of pupae and emergence of new Streblidae individuals occurs in the refuge.…”

“…Carollia perspicillata foi a espécie de morcego com a maior variedade de ectoparasitos, característica comum à espécie (Esbérard et al 2012 Paratrichobius longicrus é considerada um complexo de espécies, que tem como hospedeiros morcegos dos gêneros Artibeus e Platyrrhinus (Wenzel et al 1966), sendo provavelmente duas espécies distintas, cada uma com um hospedeiro único (Guerrero 1994a(Guerrero , 1995 ou patas alongadas (Guerrero 1994b) fornece alta mobilidade para estas espécies, que não são parasitas típicos desses morcegos (Guerrero 1994a(Guerrero ,b, 1995.…”

“…Apesar do crescente número de estudos, a maior parte é focada apenas em descrições e avaliações de especificidade de parasitismo, havendo poucos estudos que avaliam os fatores que influenciam esse parasitismo, como tipo de abrigo ), características do hospedeiro (Patterson et al 2008a, Esbérard et al 2012, ou do habitat (Pilosof et al 2012).…”
