“…This species was originally identified as O. bacoti due to the great similarity between them and other species of this group. Because it is an easily confused species, previous reports of O. bacoti in Latin America may not actually correspond to this taxon, as previously observed by Fonseca (1948).…”

Morphological and molecular analysis of Ornithonyssus spp. (Acari: Macronyssidae) from small terrestrial mammals in Brazil

et al. 2011

Based on chaetotaxy of the dorsal shield, the taxonomic status of many species of Ornithonyssus has been considered invalid, resulting in the synonymy of all Brazilian Ornithonyssus from small terrestrial wild mammals into one of the following four species: Ornithonyssus bacoti (Hirst, 1913), Ornithonyssus matogrosso (Fonseca, 1954), Ornithonyssus pereirai (Fonseca, 1935) or Ornithonyssus wernecki (Fonseca, 1935). Despite the revision of this genus in 1980, including all known species worldwide, the knowledge of Ornithonyssus in Brazil has not progressed for more than 40 years. Considering the potential importance of these haematophagous mites in transmitting rickettsial disease agents to animals and humans, we have revised Ornithonyssus species collected from small mammals in Brazil by means of morphological and molecular studies. Types and other material deposited in the Acari Collection of the Instituto Butantan (IBSP) were examined in addition to recently collected specimens. Morphological and genetic analysis of the 16S rDNA mitochondrial gene revealed that small terrestrial mammals in Brazil are parasitized by six species of Ornithonyssus mites: Ornithonyssus brasiliensis (Fonseca, 1939), O. matogrosso, O. monteiroi (Fonseca, 1941), O. pereirai, O. vitzthumi (Fonseca, 1941), and O. wernecki. An illustrated key to females of the valid Brazilian species of Ornithonyssus is included, based on optical and scanning electron microscopy.

“…The validity of all the taxa found was checked using the comprehensive synonymies provided by the Host-Parasite Database of the Natural History Museum, London [ 125 ] and the Inventaire National du Patrimoine Naturel of the Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) [ 153 ]. The taxonomic works of Fain [ 106 – 108 ], Lanza [ 167 ], Neumann [ 197 ], Da Fonseca [ 72 ], Radovsky [ 212 ], Roy and Chauve [ 221 , 222 ], Rudnick [ 223 ], Stiles and Nolan [ 235 ] and Theodor & Moscona [ 241 ] were also used. The bat classification and taxonomy, in this paper, is based on Dietz et al (2009) and Arthur and Lemaire (2015).…”

This paper is a bibliographical survey of records of bat parasites in France (including Corsica) between 1762 and 2018. In total, 237 scientific publications were analysed. They show that bats are infected with a large diversity of endoparasites and ectoparasites. A total of 113 parasite taxa were identified from 27 host species; in addition, six bats were not identified to the species-level. The helminth fauna of bats comprises three species of Cestoda, 15 of Trematoda, and 13 of Nematoda. Acari parasites include 53 species (in addition to 22 invalid species). Finally, insect parasites comprise 13 species of Diptera (bat flies), 12 of Siphonaptera (fleas), 3 of Hemiptera (bugs), and 1 Anoplura species. Bat taxa reported with parasites were Barbastella barbastellus, Eptesicus serotinus, Hypsugo savii, Miniopterus schreibersii, Myotis bechsteinii, M. blythii, M. capaccinii, M. dasycneme, M. daubentonii, M. emarginatus, M. myotis, M. mystacinus, M. nattereri, M. punicus, Nyctalus lasiopterus, N. leisleri, N. noctula, Pipistrellus kuhlii, P. nathusii, P. pipistrellus, Plecotus auritus, P. austriacus, Rhinolophus euryale, R. ferrumequinum, R. hipposideros, R. mehelyi, Tadarida teniotis, Eptesicus sp., Myotis sp., Pipistrellus sp., Plecotus sp., Rhinolophus sp. and the species complex Pipistrellus pipistrellus/kuhlii/nathusii. As regards E. nilssonii, Vespertilio murinus (Particoloured Bat), M. alcathoe, M. escalerai, P. macrobullaris and P. pygmaeus, no records were found. These published field data originated from 72 of the 96 departments in metropolitan France. The most commonly cited were Ardèche, Ariège, Bouches-du-Rhône, Haute-Savoie, Maine-et-Loire, Moselle, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Pyrénées-Orientales, Sarthe, Haute-Corse and Corse-du-Sud.

ABSTRACT. Bat mites and bat chiggers of the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Up to now, 49 species of bat mites and chiggers are recorded in Brazil, divided into ten families and three suborders. To verify the occurrence of the bat mites and chiggers species in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, specimens deposited at the "Coleção Zoológica de Referência da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul" were examined and queried information available in literature. It was found 25 species of these mites, belonging to six families from bats in Mato Grosso do Sul. All species are a new geographic record for the state. Additionally, a checklist of bat mites and chiggers, with their respective hosts and states that occur in Brazil is presented.
