<strong>Checklist of the Helminth Parasites of South American Bats</strong>

Abstract: Although the Chiroptera represents a significant proportion (c.20%) of the mammalian fauna and South America has the highest diversity of bat species, only about a third of the known species in this region have had helminth parasites reported from them. This work represents the first comprehensive checklist of the helminth parasites (nematodes, acanthocephalans, trematodes and cestodes) of South American bats. The data were extracted from more than 120 references and are presented as a key to each group of par… Show more

“…Increased detection using MDM may in part be due to its ability to resolve the identity of the eggs that were unidentified in the necropsies. MDM also showed increased taxonomic resolution of parasites, which can help clarify their origins; for example, all of the trematodes detected are in the family Lecithodendriidae, which are known bat parasites (Lotz & Font, 2008;McAllister, Bursey, & Robison, 2011), as is one of nematode families detected, Capillariidae (Santos & Gibson, 2015). Other nematodes detected using MDM are arthropod parasites (e.g., Pristionchus and Tylenchida), which may have been acquired through their prey (Herrmann, Mayer, & Sommer, 2006).…”

“…Son parásitos del intestino delgado y ocasionalmente de la vesícula biliar de murciélagos de la región Neotropical. El ciclo de vida de los anenterotrematide es desconocido pero, acorde a los grupos de digeneos relacionados, los murciélagos adquirirían el parásito por consumo de artrópodos infectados con la metacercaria (Santos y Gibson, 2015).…”

“…En un trabajo reciente Santos y Gibson (2015) recopilan en una checklist, información proveniente de 120 publicaciones sobre los helmintos de murciélagos, poniendo de relieve que se conocen reportes de helmintos de 92 especies de murciélagos lo que representa un tercio de las 275 especies conocidas en Sud América. Santos y Gibson (2015) reportan 370 registros de 114 taxones (especies nominales) de helmintos parásitos, que incluyen 53 especies de nematodes, 40 de trematodes, 18 de cestodes y tres de acantocéfalos. En el listado no se incluye a Vampirolepis guarany, V. cf macroti y Limatulum oklahomense, taxones que se adicionan en el presente trabajo.…”
