Although the Chiroptera represents a significant proportion (c.20%) of the mammalian fauna and South America has the highest diversity of bat species, only about a third of the known species in this region have had helminth parasites reported from them. This work represents the first comprehensive checklist of the helminth parasites (nematodes, acanthocephalans, trematodes and cestodes) of South American bats. The data were extracted from more than 120 references and are presented as a key to each group of parasites down to the generic level, with an indication of how the bats become infected, accompanied by a list of the species recorded for each genus. This is followed, in tabular form, by parasite-host and host-parasite checklists. The parasite-host list also includes their geographical distribution in South America (at the country level) and site data, plus the references in which the parasite records occur. The host-parasite list is arranged according to the classification of the hosts. In all, c.370 host-parasite associations are recorded, involving 114 nominal species of helminths from 92 named chiropteran taxa.
尽管翼手目占哺乳动物区系的很大比例（约20%），且南美洲的蝙蝠种类多样性最高，但该地区已知的蝙蝠物种中只有约三分之一有关于其感染蠕虫寄生虫的报道。这项工作给出了南美洲蝙蝠蠕虫寄生虫（线虫、棘头虫、吸虫和绦虫）的第一份综合清单。数据从120多篇参考文献中提取，以一种关键信息的形式呈现，涵盖各寄生虫类群直至属级水平，并指明蝙蝠的感染方式，同时列出每个属记录的物种清单。随后以表格形式给出寄生虫-宿主和宿主-寄生虫清单。寄生虫-宿主清单还包括它们在南美洲的地理分布（按国家级别）和寄生部位数据，以及寄生虫记录所在的参考文献。宿主-寄生虫清单是按照宿主的分类来排列的。总共记录了约370种宿主-寄生虫关联，涉及来自92个已命名翼手目分类单元的114种名义上的蠕虫物种。
