Determinación de la presencia de ectoparásitos en murciélagos de la Estación Experimental El Padmi
A descriptive study was conducted to determine the presence of ectoparasites in bats at the El Padmi Experimental Station, in the Ecuadorian Amazon, located at an altitude between 775 and 1150 meters above sea level.

Sampling was carried out on weekends during four visits; mist nets were used to capture bats, from which a total of 74 individuals of a single taxonomic family Phyllostomidae were obtained; the captured individuals belonged to 19 species of bats, which were identified using taxonomic keys. Of the individuals captured, only 13 species presented ectoparasites, registering a total of 118 arthropods, belonging to three orders Ixodida, Diptera and Mesostigmata. The most diverse genera of bats were Carollia and Artibeus and of the ectoparasites Periglischrus and Trichobius. The highest percentages of arthropod infestation were Artibeus lituratus (23 %), Carollia perspicillata (21 %) and Artibeus planirostris (19 %). The phyllostomids captured present great diversity and abundance of parasitized hosts, this is related to their adaptation to different ranges of trophic guilds and feeding habits, in addition they have a greater distribution of species in the Amazon region, the consideration of factors such as humidity, altitude, and environmental temperature directly influence the greater abundance and presence of ectoparasites in bats. This emphasizes the importance of understanding and managing the relationships between species and the environment in order to better understand biological diversity and the functioning of ecosystems. |
