Here we report the results of our own survey and literary published data on the ectoparasite fauna and pathogens of the alien bat species, the Kuhl’s pipistrelle Pipistrellus kuhlii (Kuhl, 1817) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae). This bat is a host of 36 species of parasitic mites, ticks and insects (including accidental findings) and 13 species of pathogens (protozoa, bacteria, viruses). The flea Ischnopsyllus variabilis is recorded on this host for the first time. We have found that outside of the host ancestral range, the core of the bat parasite fauna is significantly different due to the loss of host species-specific ectoparasites. Particularly, in Russia, only 6 species of parasitic arthropods have been recorded for Kuhl’s pipistrelle and all of them are host genus-specific. At the same time, the features of ecology and occasional finds of extrinsic parasites allow to suggest that P. kuhlii has wide contacts with animals which are the reservoirs of zoonotic infections, that in combination with the fact of isolation of several pathogens from this species (including two coronaviruses) points to a possible medical importance of Kuhl’s pipistrelle.

Background Ticks are obligate hematophagous arthropods with a world-wide distribution that are extremely important not only in terms of human and animal health but also economically. In Algeria, information on tick species is scarce. Methods A systematic literature review was performed using online databases. The information extracted from the databases was was supplemented by information from an original study. Ticks were collected from various hosts and by flagging from January 2018 to December 2019. Results To date, in Algeria a total of 36 valid tick species belonging to two families have been recorded: (1) family Argasidae, with three Argas species and nine Ornithodoros species recorded; and (ii) family Ixodidae, with one Dermacentor species, three Haemaphysalis species, 10 Hyalomma species, four Ixodes species and six Rhipicephalus species recorded. The geographical distribution for each species was determined and listed. Eight new tick-host associations were recorded: four for Ixodes inopinatus sensu Estrada-Peña et al. 2014, one for Rhipicephalus bursa, one for R. turanicus, one for Hyalomma marginatum and one for Hy. lusitanicum. To our best knowledge, this study is the first to report the presence of I. inopinatus sensu Estrada-Peña et al. 2014 in Algeria. We also report here for the first time all tick species (Argasidae and Ixodidae) known to be present in Algeria. Conclusion This article represents a tool for students and scientists who work in the field of ticks and provides important new data on the distribution of ticks in Algeria. Graphical Abstract

“…Rhipicephalus hace parte de la familia Ixodidae, conocida como garrapatas duras, por poseer un escudo protector rico en quitina (Polanco-Echeverry & Ríos-Osorio, 2016;Rivera-Páez et al, 2018). Estos especímenes pueden presentar un tamaño de 1 a 20 mm de longitud, poseen un escudo dorsal completo duro rico en quitina en el caso de los machos e incompleto o parcialmente cubierto por el escudo en la parte anterior de las hembras, larvas y ninfas, lo que les permite crecer y agrandarse lo suficiente para lograr contener hasta dos mililitros de sangre (Bendjeddou et al, 2017). Las características morfológicas más representativas de una teleogina se muestran en la figura 1.…”

Objetivos. Determinar la efectividad de acaricidas en poblaciones de campo de Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus colectadas en fincas ganaderas de los municipios de Ibagué, Espinal y Cajamarca, departamento del Tolima. Metodología. En 12 fincas se colectaron 1200 teleoginas de R. microplus que fueron sometidas a una prueba de inmersión de adultas (PIA) modificada, a fin de evaluar cuatro acaricidas comúnmente usados en la región: cipermetrina al 15%, amitraz al 20,8%, etión al 84% e ivermectina al 1%. Se calcularon parámetros como la eficiencia reproductiva y el porcentaje de eclosión, con los cuales se determinó la eficacia de cada acaricida. Resultados. Se encontró que en el 91,66% de los predios evaluados las poblaciones de R. microplus fueron resistentes a la cipermetrina, el 91,66% al amitraz, 75% a etión y 66,66% a ivermectina, evidenciando pérdida de eficacia de estos químicos. Conclusión. Se demostró la alta dispersión de resistencia a los acaricidas de uso frecuente en campo para el control de poblaciones de R. microplus en tres municipios del Tolima, denotando la necesidad de establecer nuevas estrategias de control que permitan limitar las infestaciones de la garrapata común del ganado.
