In this article, we present the results of a study about mites associated with bats collected in the State of Pernambuco, northeast Brazil. Of the 331 bats collected, 23 were found naturally infested by mites, corresponding to an overall prevalence of 6.9% (95% confidence interval: 4.5-10.2). Four mite species were collected from seven bat species. The following mite-bat associations were recorded: Periglischrus acutisternus Machado-Allison on Phyllostomus discolor Wagner; Periglischrus ojastii Oudemans on Carollia perspicillata L.; Periglischrus iheringi Oudemans on Artibeus lituratus (Olfers), Artibeus planirostris Spix, Platyrrhinus lineatus (E. Geoffroy), and Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy); and Spelaeorhynchus praecursor Neumann on C. perspicillata. This study definitively confirms the presence of S. praecursor in Pernambuco and records for the first time the presence of three spinturnicid species (i.e., P. acutisternus, P. ojastii, and P. iheringi) in northeast Brazil.
在本文中,我们展示了一项关于巴西东北部伯南布哥州采集的与蝙蝠相关螨虫的研究结果。在采集的331只蝙蝠中,有23只被发现自然感染了螨虫,总体患病率为6.9%(95%置信区间:4.5 - 10.2)。从7种蝙蝠中采集到了4种螨虫。记录到以下螨虫与蝙蝠的关联:马查多 - 艾利森氏锐胸螨(Periglischrus acutisternus Machado-Allison)寄生于变色叶口蝠(Phyllostomus discolor Wagner);奥氏佩里螨(Periglischrus ojastii Oudemans)寄生于食果蝠(Carollia perspicillata L.);伊氏佩里螨(Periglischrus iheringi Oudemans)寄生于黑顶白眉蝠(Artibeus lituratus (Olfers))、平嘴果蝠(Artibeus planirostris Spix)、条纹扁鼻蝠(Platyrrhinus lineatus (E. Geoffroy))和黄翼蝠(Sturnira lilium (E. Geoffroy));以及先驱洞螨(Spelaeorhynchus praecursor Neumann)寄生于食果蝠。本研究明确证实了先驱洞螨在伯南布哥州的存在,并首次记录了三种蝠螨科物种(即锐胸螨、奥氏佩里螨和伊氏佩里螨)在巴西东北部的存在。
