“…Specimens of Steatonyssus periblepharus (Kolenati) previously reported in Russia and adjacent countries from P. pipistrellus, other vespertilionid and rhinolophid bats (Stanyukovich 1997) were collected only from P. pipistrellus in Turkey. Baker and Craven (2003) Beck (1971) described maccronyssid mites of the genera Macronyssus, Steatonyssus and Ichoronyssus being found in low numbers on most vespertilionid samples, agreeing with our findings.…”

“…Stanyukovich (1997) and Baker and Craven (2003) indicated that the genera Macronyssus and Steatonyssus were primarily removed from vespertilionid bat species which are common for North Palearctic. We found these genera on the vespertilionid Pipistrellus pipistrellus.…”

“…The wing mite S. myoti is usually associated with vespertilionid bats (genus Myotis), but it has been recorded from the wide reference of hosts in the mixed colonies of bats (Rudnick 1960, Stanyukovich 1997, Baker and Craven 2003. Oligoxenic species widely distributed all over the world together with its hosts (Stanyukovich 1990).…”

The present study was conducted on bats from different locations in Turkey. Of 33 bats, belonging to 10 species, 10 individuals (30.3%) of four species were infected with gamasine mites. Fifty-three mites belonging to 2 families (Spinturnicidae and Macronyssidae) were collected. The spinturnicid Spinturnix myoti (Kolenati) was the most abundant species (27 specimens) and only recorded on Myotis nattereri (Kuhl). The species Steatonyssus periblepharus (Kolenati) and the genera Steatonyssus, Macronyssus and Ancystropus are reported from Turkey for the first time, while new host and distributional data are presented.

This paper describes a case of notoedric mange in an ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in the Brazilian Amazon region. A young male of approximately four months of age that was illegally kept as a pet was apprehended in Altamira, State of Pará, northern Brazil. The animal was transported to the Mangal das Garças Park in the state's capital city of Belém. The ocelot had pruritus and lesions suggestive of scabies in the head. Skin scraping material was examined under optic microscopy. There was seen a large number of eggs, larvae, nymphs and adult mites. The mean female and male sizes were 230.2 × 200.4 µm and 137.6 × 104.9 µm. Based on the morphologic characteristics and morphometric analysis, this mite was classified as Notoedres cati. This is the first report of notoedric mange in L. pardalis from Brazilian Amazon.

“…Some authors do not consider S. andegavinus an independent species, separated from Spinturnix myoti (cf. Baker and Craven 2003). Since S. andegavinus represents the only spinturnicid species infesting Daubenton's bats (Deunff andBeaucournu 1981, Rupp et al 2002), the collection and determination of individual mites was performed only incidentally to ascertain literature data.…”

Relationships between the parasitic mite Spinturnix andegavinus (Acari: Spinturnicidae) and its bat host, Myotis daubentonii (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae): seasonal, sex- and age-related variation in infestation and possible impact of the parasite on the host condition and roosting behaviour

Abstract. Host-parasite relationships between the Daubenton's bat, Myotis daubentonii Kuhl, 1817 (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), and its haematophagous ectoparasite, the mite Spinturnix andegavinus Kolenati, 1857 (Acari: Spinturnicidae), were subjected to analyses based on data gathered during a six-year study (1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004) within a single study area in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. Seven hundred and fifty-one Daubenton's bats were examined by screening wing membranes with an intensive light source, resulting in 4,690 recorded mites. Sex, age, weight and reproductive state were evaluated for each bat. A body condition index was calculated as a ratio of weight to forearm length. The seasonal course of mite infestation displayed distinct dynamics with the peak during the lactation and post-lactation periods coinciding with occurrence of the most numerous colonies of Daubenton's bats in the study area. Infestation rates differed between the two sexes, being higher in adult females than adult males. Juvenile bats of both sexes (with no differences between males and females) were the most infested group of all. Pregnant females had a significantly higher parasite load than non-pregnant ones, while no differences in infestation rates were found between lactating and non-lactating females. The analyses of the relationship between parasite load and body condition of bats revealed no common trends for all sex-and age-related groups. Two possible explanations are suggested and discussed: (1) There is no true relationship between the two tested variables and, thus, the significant results were attained due to a random statistical effect. (2) Different underlying causal mechanisms may exist that influence parasite load and, especially, body condition, with respect to the particular sex and age category of bats. The seasonal roosting dynamics of the Daubenton's bat are suggested to be the result not only of changing energetic demands of resident population members, but also of coevolutionary strategies within host-parasite relationships.
