“…Venzal et al (2012) studied the same ectoparasite on the same host raised in Chile and provided new morphological data and a tentative diagnosis of O. peruvianus; however, the material considered by the latter authors showed severe damage to the hypostome, an organ of taxonomic importance. Finally, Muñoz-Leal et al (2020) contributed with a complete redescription of the larva, nymph, and adult stages of female and male O. peruvianus collected from the same host in northern Chile, which helped identify the specimens in this study.…”

El murciélago hematófago Desmodus rotundus (Geoffroy, 1810) es una especie de importancia zoonótica y amplia distribución. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar su fauna ectoparasitaria y elaborar una lista de los artrópodos parásitos presentes en los murciélagos del Perú. Los murciélagos fueron capturados en el distrito de San Bartolomé, provincia de Huarochirí, Lima, Perú. La preparación de la lista se llevó a cabo mediante la búsqueda en las principales bases de datos en línea. Se estudiaron 27 murciélagos, de los cuales el 70,37 % (n = 19) estaban infectados con al menos una especie de ectoparásito. Se registraron las especies de Diptera Strebla wiedemanni Kolenati, 1856, y Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844, y el ixódido Ornithodoros peruvianus Kohls, Clifford & Jones, 1969. La especie de mayor abundancia y prevalencia fue O. peruvianus. Se reportan tres especies de piojos en D. rotundus, que consideramos como parásitos accidentales. En cuanto a la lista, hasta la fecha se han reportado 104 especies de ectoparásitos distribuidos entre los grupos principales: Diptera, Hemiptera, Siphonaptera, Phthiraptera, Mesostigmata e Ixodida a partir de ejemplares de 75 especies de murciélagos en 19 departamentos del Perú. Aspidoptera falcata Wenzel, 1976, y Megistopoda aranea (Coquillett, 1899) (Streblidae) son los ectoparásitos con el mayor número de huéspedes registrados. Lophostoma silvicolum d’Orbigny, 1836; Phyllostomus elongatus (Geoffroy, 1810) y Phyllostomus hastatus (Pallas, 1767) son los huéspedes con el mayor registro de ectoparásitos en murciélagos del Perú (s = 10). Según el nivel de especificidad de los ectoparásitos para sus huéspedes, las especies monoxenas (s = 47) fueron las dominantes, seguidas por las oligoxenas (s = 21). Las regiones geográficas con mayor información acerca de ectoparásitos huéspedes fueron Loreto y Madre de Dios. Es necesario ampliar los estudios ya que el 60.3% de las especies de murciélagos del Perú no tienen registros de ectoparásitos.

Among mammals, bats harbour the greatest taxonomic diversity of ectoparasitic arthropods. This is mainly due to their high mobility, wide distribution range and gregarious social behaviour. In Chile, 17 species of bats have been reported; however, their ectoparasitic arthropofauna has been little studied. There are currently 12 taxa recorded, belonging to two classes and associated with only four species of bats. This study aimed to investigate the diversity of parasitic flies associated with bats in three ecoregions: Atacama Desert, Chilean Matorral and Valdivian temperate forest. During 2021, using mist nets, bats were captured in Anzota caves (Atacama Desert ecoregion), Huelquén and Alto Jahuel (Chilean Matorral ecoregion), Cherquenco and San Patricio (Valdivian temperate forest). Each bat was carefully checked during a 15‐min interval for the collection of ectoparasites. The arthropods were deposited in vials with 96% ethanol. A total of 26 bats corresponding to three species (Vespertilionidae: Histiotus magellanicus Philippi, 1866, Myotis arescens (Osgood, 1943); Phyllostomidae: Desmodus rotundus (Geoffroy, 1810)) were captured from which a total of 142 ectoparasitic arthropods were collected. Bat flies were separated/identified under a stereomicroscope. Additionally, from the fieldwork, we report the presence of other ectoparasites associated with Chilean bats. In our study, we report new host–parasite associations between Trichobius parasiticus Gervais, 1844 (Diptera: Streblidae) on D. rotundus, and Basilia silvae (Brèthes, 1913) (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) in M. arescens in Chile. Our study extended the latitudinal range of distribution for B. silvae to Araucanía region, and we report for first time T. parasiticus in the country. Additionally, partial sequences of the cytochrome c oxidase I gene were obtained from these specimens. Although there is slight morphological variation in the specimens of T. parasiticus, phylogenetic analyses suggest that they correspond to the same species. The sequences generated for B. silvae represent the first for the species. Authors recommend the use of an integrative approach in the identification of ectoparasites in poorly studied ecoregions and hosts. The integration of different markers is necessary to determine more precisely the phylogenetic relationships between South American populations and species of the genera Basilia and Trichobius.
