“…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.…”

One hundred twenty-two Chrysomus ruficapillus were examined in southern Brazil, in order to research the presence of nasal mites and the parasite-host relationships. Nasal mite infections were analyzed for: presence of Ereynetidae and Rhinonyssidae considering the total number of hosts examined; Sexual maturity of males (juveniles and adults); Periods of bird collection and presence of co-infections. Were identified five taxa, four belongs to Rhinonyssidae (Sternostoma strandtmanni, Ptilonyssus sairae, P. icteridius and Ptilonyssus sp.) and one to Ereynetidae (Boydaia agelaii). Adult males were parasitized for one taxa more than juvenile males. Co-infections occurred in 22 hosts, between two, three and four taxa, belonging to Ereynetidae and Rhinonyssidae.The co-infections were more prevalent in austral autumn / winter. The host-parasite relations and co-infections by nasal mites in C. ruficapillus were reported for the first time, contributing to the knowledge about nasal mites in 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).…”

Nasal mites are commonly found in hummingbirds (Apodiformes). In most cases, endoparasitic mites were reported to parasitize the respiratory system, particularly the anterior nasal chambers, larynx, trachea, lungs, and the air and conjunctival sacs. However, some mites are only carried by hummingbirds, because flowers serving as a nutrient source for these small mites, such as for Apodiformes, a tropical nectar-feeding in their natural habitat. From August 2012 to May 2014, humminbirds were captured using mist nets, and examined for the presence of nasal mites (identified according to specific keys) in the Pantanal, and Cerrado biomes, from the Mato Grosso state, midwestern Brazil. Overall, 76 Apodiform specimens, from the Trochilidae family were captured, and 20 female nasal mites, identified as being from the Rhinoseius genus, were collected from eight hosts (10.5%), of the following species: Amazilia fimbriata, Amazilia versicolor, Eupetonema macroura, and Thalurania furcata. The Rhinoseius spp. has been reported on, in many ecosystems in the Americas, including Brazil, however, this is the first report on Apodiformes from the Pantanal biome. Phoretic mites are not responsible for direct damage to the population of Apodiformes, as they are not pathogenic. However, they compete for food with hummingbirds and decrease the quantity of food available in the environment. They also affect the reproductive dynamics of plants, feed on pollen, and interfere with the intricacies of the biodiversity where they live.

Nasal mites (Mesostigmata: Rhinonyssidae) are obligatory endoparasites of birds, and the resulting parasitism can be harmful to the host’s respiratory system. The nasal mite Sternostoma tracheacolum Lawrence has caused significant respiratory issues, including serious injuries that possibly cause death of the host. In this study, we report two cases of captive birds parasitized by S. tracheacolum. The first case is a histopathological description of S. tracheacolum parasitizing the Gouldian Finch (Chloebia gouldiae) in the southeast region of Brazil, that showed partially or totally absence of the characteristic respiratory epithelium in trachea lumen. The other describes, for the first time, the parasitism of this species in a canary (Serinus canaria) in the northeast region of the country.
