The Center for Rehabilitation of Wildlife and Center for Selection of Wild Animal of the Federal University of Pelotas has attended two nestlings of Megascops choliba (tropical screech-owl) (Strigiformes - Strigidae) and two of Pitangus sulphuratus (great kiskadee) (Passeriformes - Tyrannidae) heavily parasitized by mites, in May 2005 and December 2006, respectively. The nestlings and the nest of P. sulphuratus were collected in the Pelotas urban area after severe storms. The mites were removed, clarified in lactofenol, permanently mounted in Hoyer's medium and identified as Ornithonyssus bursa (Acari - Macronyssidae). Megascops choliba and Pitangus sulphuratus are reported as host of Ornithonyssus bursa in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.
佩洛塔斯联邦大学野生动物康复中心和野生动物选种中心分别于2005年5月和2006年12月照料了两只被螨虫严重寄生的热带角鸮(鸮形目 - 鸱鸮科)雏鸟和两只大食蝇霸鹟(雀形目 - 霸鹟科)雏鸟。大食蝇霸鹟的雏鸟和巢穴是在佩洛塔斯市区遭受严重风暴后采集的。去除螨虫后,将其置于乳酸酚中澄清,永久封固于霍耶氏介质中,并鉴定为柏氏禽刺螨(蜱螨亚纲 - 巨刺螨科)。在巴西南里奥格兰德州,热带角鸮和大食蝇霸鹟被报告为柏氏禽刺螨的宿主。
