“…Donoso (1953) and Alcaino and Gorman (1999) reported the Palearctic A. reflexus on Chilean domestic pigeons without specifying localities. There are several records of this species from the Neotropical region ), but none have been confirmed.…”

“…The last review of Chilean ticks was that of Tagle (1971). Alcaino and Gorman (1999) published a list of ticks found on Chilean domestic animals, and Gonza´lez-Acun˜a et al (2003a, 2004a revised the genera Amblyomma and Ixodes. Herein we present a critical review of the Ixodoidea of Chile, as well as new information on tick species, hosts and distribution, with the hope that this material may prove useful in assessing the impact that these parasites have on health.…”

The tick species recorded from Chile can be listed under the following headings: (1) endemic or established: Argas keiransi Estrada-Peña, Venzal and Gonzalez-Acuña, A. neghmei Kohls and Hoogstraal; Ornithodoros amblus Chamberlin; Otobius megnini (Dugès); Amblyomma parvitarsum Neumann; A. tigrinum Koch; Ixodes auritulus Neumann; I. chilensis Kohls; I. cornuae Arthur, I. sigelos Keirans, Clifford and Corwin; I. stilesi Neumann; I. uriae White; Rhipicephalus sanguineus Koch. (2) Probably established or endemic: Argas miniatus Koch; Ornithodoros spheniscus Hoogstraal, Wassef, Hays and Keirans; Ixodes abrocomae Lahille; I. neuquenensis Ringuelet; I. pararicinus Keirans and Clifford. (3) Doubtfully established: Argas reflexus Fabricius; Ornithodoros talaje (Guérin-Méneville). (4) Exotic: Amblyomma argentinae Neumann; A. latum Koch, Rhipicephalus (= Boophilus) microplus (Canestrini). (5) Erroneously identified as present in Chile: Amblyomma americanum (Linnaeus); A. maculatum Koch; A. varium Koch; Ixodes conepati Cooley and Kohls; I. frontalis (Panzer); I. ricinus (Linnaeus); Margaropus winthemi Karsch. (6) Nomina nuda: Argas reticulatus Gervais; Amblyomma inflatum Neumann; Ixodes lagotis Gervais. Hosts and localities (including new records) are presented. Argas neghmei, O. amblus, O. megnini, I. uriae and R. sanguineus may cause severe injury to their hosts, including humans. The Chilean Ixodes fauna is unique to the Neotropical Zoogeographic Region, and additional research is needed in order to understand the biological importance of these species.

“…In Chile, mastozoological research has primarily concentrated on small mammal species (Muridae, Octodontidae, and Didelphidae), but studies on their helminth fauna have been poorly addressed (COFRÉ & VILINA, 2008). Helminthology research on rodents began more than a century ago (POUPIN, 1897); however, articles on this topic are scarce, most of which have adopted a taxonomic approach (ÁLVAREZ, 1960;DENKE & MURÚA, 1977;ALCAÍNO & GORMAN, 1990) and only occasionally provided a description of the ecological background (CATTAN et al, 1992;LANDAETA-AQUEVEQUE et al, 2018). Given that the Chilean territory is a biogeographic island, the assembly of rodents (and their parasites) has resulted from historical interactions and ecological factors on several temporal scales (CATTAN et al, 1992;LANDAETA-AQUEVEQUE et al, 2014a, 2018.…”

Helminth parasites are still not a well-known component of animal biodiversity. In this study, we describe and compare the endoparasite assemblages of three native rodent species from a semiarid Mediterranean ecosystem. A total of eight species of gastrointestinal helminth parasites were detected. The endoparasitic communities of the rodents Phyllotis darwini (5 species), Octodon degus (4 species), and Abrothrix olivaceus (3 species) were described in terms of their prevalence and mean abundance. In addition, endoparasite records by rodent species were submitted to rarefaction analyses to verify sampling robustness and used to compare richness and similarity among rodent species. O. degus presented the highest prevalence and parasitic load, but was of low diversity, while P. darwini presented the highest diversity, but had a low prevalence rate. Conversely, A. olivaceus presented the lowest prevalence and diversity. This study contributes to the existing knowledge of the endoparasitic fauna of rodent species from semiarid Mediterranean zones.

“…Some overviews have confirmed the presence of the O. ovis in the region, but they do not show the epidemiological aspects of this parasitism (Tagle 1966, Oberg et al 1974, Alcaíno & Gorman 1999. Therefore, the objective of this study was to approximate the epidemiological situation of the O. ovis infection in Chilean sheep which has been scarcely documented.…”

Oestrus ovis infection of grazing sheep during summer in southern Chile

et al. 2015

ABSTRACT. - Oestrus ovis is a botfly whose larvae cause nasal myiasis, an environmental-dependent disease in small ruminants, generating acute and chronic injuries in the cranial cavities of sheep. Chile is a country of the southernmost worldwide distribution of this parasite, and there is few information about. Whence, the objective of this study was to approximate the epidemiological situation of O. ovis infection in Chilean sheep. From December 2009 to March 2010, a total of 87 samples were obtained by necropsy for skull inspection. The larvae were collected, and microscopically identified. The prevalence in the sampled sheep was 60.9%. From those that were infected, 85.7% (18/21) of sheep were 1 to 3 years old, constituting the stratum with the highest prevalence. The difference of infection in females and males was not significant. The high risk of infection seems to be dependent upon the environmental conditions of this southern region, especially during summer when the first larval stage (L1) could be found as the evidence. Therefore, the disease should be considered as a significant problem for this kind of livestock production.
