“…Few reports on O. erythrocephala from Brazil described the number of individuals collected per bird. These reports frequently describe the presence of only one or two specimens parasitizing each bird (Tossas, 2001;Graciolli & Bispo, 2005;Moreira et al, 2019), similar to what was described in the present report, where only one specimen was recovered. The rapid flight of the Hippoboscid species may be the reason why so few individuals are recovered from infested birds (Johnson, 1925).…”

The aim of this study was to report, for the first time, the occurrence of the hippoboscid fly Ornithoctona erythrocephala on a red-legged seriema (Cariama cristata). A Diptera specimen was found among the feathers of a free-living red-legged seriema, which was referred to necropsy at the Wild Animal Pathology Service, UNESP Jaboticabal. The fly was collected, stored in absolute alcohol, and shipped to the Institute of Biosciences of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul for proper identification. Based on morphological characters, the specimen was identified as a female of Ornithoctona erythrocephala. This study provides a report on a new host for O. erythrocephala.

Patagioneas picazuro (Temminck 1813) são Columbidae consideradas pragasdevido a danos causados às lavouras de grãos e problemas relacionados àsuperpopulação. Eles também podem atuar como hospedeiros de parasitas que podem gerar problemas de saúde pública. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar os ectoparasitos em P. picazuro em Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brasil, bem como identificar a presença de patógenos que podem usar esses artrópodes como vetores. Os artrópodes coletados foram identificados morfologicamente como Ornithoctona erythrocephala (Leach 1817) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) e Columbicola passerinae (Wilson 1941) (Phthiraptera: Philopteridae). O DNA dos ectoparasitas foi extraído e processado molecularmente por Reação em Cadeia da Polimerase (PCR). As amostras foram rastreadas quanto à presença de Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp. e Rickettsia spp., porém os resultados foram negativos para os patógenos testados. Mais estudos precisam ser realizados para identificar o papel desses ectoparasitas na transmissão de patógenos e se eles atuam como vetores biológicos ou mecânicos. Este é o primeiro relato de Ornithoctona erythrocephala em Minas Gerais e o primeiro registro de parasitismo por Columbicola passerinae em Patagioneas picazuro.

“…Among them, only two species were recorded from the Palaearctic, namely O. australaisiae from Kazakhstan and Russian Far East (Doszhanov, 1980(Doszhanov, , 2003Nartshuk et al, 2018) and O. plicata from the Kuril Islands (Nartshuk et al, 2018). Other species inhabit Africa (Hutson, 1984), tropical Asia (Maa, 1969a,b;Wang et al, 2022), the Pacific Islands (Maa, 1969a,b), and the New World (Maa, 1969a,b;Moreira et al, 2019;Vélez et al, 2020;Silva et al, 2021).…”

Louse flies from the family Hippoboscidae parasitise birds and mammals. Both males and females feed on the blood and carry many dangerous diseases. Representatives of the genus Ornithoctona are full-winged, widely specialised parasites of birds. Before this study it was considered, that the genus Ornithoctona includes 12 species. Among them, only two species were recorded in the Palaearctic (from Kazakhstan, Russian Far East, and Kuril Islands). Other ones inhabit Africa, tropical Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the New World. During the annual bird ringing in the Baikal State Nature Reserve (Russia), a new species of the genus Ornithoctona (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) (Ornithoctona zootherae sp. nov.) was collected and described. Ornithoctona zootherae sp. nov. was found on Zoothera dauma, a common species, that breeds in Eastern Siberia and winters in China. Ornithoctona zootherae sp. nov. differs from all known Palearctic and Asian Ornithoctona species in larger body size (length of the head + thorax is 5.5–6.0 mm). Additionally, the new species differs from O. plicata in the wing-setulae, while O. plicata has no wing-setulae. It differs from O. soror and O. australaisiae in the ventral and dorsal view of the abdominal apices. A single key for all World species of the genus Ornithoctona is composed.
