DOI: 10.1017/s0031182019000702
Abstract: Abstract For parasites in natural systems, the most common pattern of spatial distribution is aggregation among hosts. The main causes of such aggregation are variable exposure of hosts to parasites and heterogeneity in host susceptibility.… read more here.

New Geographical Records of Bat Flies (Diptera: Streblidae) Associated With Phyllostomid Bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in the West Highlands of Mexico
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Medical Entomology"
DOI: 10.1093/jme/tjy166
Abstract: Abstract Streblidae are ectoparasites exclusive to bats and feed only on their blood. Studies on ectoparasite fauna have increased our ecological knowledge of the parasitic relationship between streblids and their bat hosts. We evaluate assemblages… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12508
Abstract: Recently, network approaches have gained increasing popularity in studies of species interactions. These analyses provide important information about structural and functional organisation, as well as on the dynamics of species interactions. Common model systems for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mve.12639
Abstract: Bats are known reservoir hosts for a wide variety of parasites and pathogens, including bacteria and protozoans. Some of these pathogens are vector‐borne, and although their role is poorly studied, ectoparasites may contribute significantly to… read more here.

Parasitism of Bat Flies (Nycteribiidae and Streblidae) on Bats in Urban Environments: Lower Prevalence, Infracommunities, and Specificity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Acta Chiropterologica"
DOI: 10.3161/15081109acc2018.20.2.021
Abstract: Studies involving parasitism between ectoparasitic flies and bats are scarce for urban environments, which makes it difficult to find association patterns in these altered environments. Herein, we describe the bat flies community, and estimate the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3201/eid2802.211686
Abstract: To determine Bartonella spp. dynamics, we sampled bats and bat flies across 15 roosts in Costa Rica. PCR indicated prevalence of 10.7% in bats and 29.0% in ectoparasite pools. Phylogenetic analysis of 8 sequences from… read more here.
