Rhinonyssidae (Acari: Gamasida) in Ardeidae (Aves: Pelicaniformes) in Brazil

Host-Parasite relationships and co-infection of nasal mites of Chrysomus ruficapillus (Passeriformes: Icteridae) in southern Brazil

“…Most studies of nasal mites has taxonomic character and consist in descriptions and re-descriptions species, construction of identification keys and researches of nasal mites in wildlife largely realized in North America (Pence, 1973a(Pence, ,b, 1975Spicer, 1987;Knee & Proctor, 2006, 2010Knee et al, 2008). Others were realized in Cuba (Cerny & Dusbabek, 1970), Australia (Domrow, 1978;Proctor & Owens, 2000), Russia (Dimov & Mascarenhas, 2012), and Brazil (Amaral & Rebouças, 1974a;Mascarenhas et al, 2009Mascarenhas et al, , 2011Coimbra et al, 2012;Bernardon et al, 2013Bernardon et al, , 2015Bernardon et al, , 2017Mendes et al, 2014 andSinkoc et al, 2016. In recent decades, complementary studies on phylogenetic relationships that use molecular techniques have been developed (Rojas et al, 2001(Rojas et al, , 2002Morelli & Spicer, 2007) while studies that analyze the infections by nasal mites in the host, such as the one performed in this study with Passeriformes, are little discussed.…”

Phoretic mites (Rhinoseius spp.) in Apodiformes from Cerrado and Pantanal Biomes in midwestern Brazil

“…Nasal mites have been reported in several hummingbird species (Apodiformes) from Latin America (Baker and Yunker, 1964;Dusbabek and Cerny, 1970;Hunter, 1972;Fain et al, 1977;Hyland et al, 1978;Colwell and Naeem, 1979;Fain and Hyland, 1980;Micherdzinski and Lukoschus, 1980;O'Connor et al, 1991;Ohmer et al, 1991;Naskrecki and Colwell, 1998;Dusbabek et al, 2007;López-Orozco and Cañon-Franco, 2013). The reports include a description of infestation of many Mesostigmata mites species, in general, in hummingbirds from Brazil and birds also (De-Castro, 1948;Pereira and De-Castro, 1949;Amaral, 1968;Amaral and Rebouças, 1974;Mascarenhas et al, 2011;Bernardon et al, 2013;Mendes et al, 2014).…”
