The chewing louse genus Eutrichophilus Mjöberg has 19 species only associated with porcupines (Rodentia: Erethizontidae). Of these species, E. cercolabes, E. cordiceps, E. emersoni, E. minor, E. moojeni, and E. paraguayensis have been recorded in Brazil. In the present study, we report E. cordiceps for the first time in the São Paulo State (Bauru Municipality) and for the second time in the Santa Catarina State (Lages Municipality), providing scanning electron images and light microscopy for the eggs, as well as the first molecular data (18S rRNA) for the genus. Additionally, Bartonella sp. was detected for the first time in this chewing lice species.
咀嚼虱属 Eutrichophilus Mjöberg 仅有 19 种,仅与豪猪(啮齿目:豪猪科)有关。在这些物种中,E. cercolabes、E. cordiceps、E. emersoni、E. minor、E. moojeni 和 E. paraguayensis 已在巴西被记录。在本研究中,我们首次在圣保罗州(包鲁市)和圣卡塔琳娜州(拉热斯市)报告了 E. cordiceps 的存在,提供了卵的扫描电子图像和光学显微镜图像,以及属的首个分子数据(18S rRNA)。此外,巴通体首次在这种咀嚼虱中被检测到。
