| nasal mites from birds of a guatemalan cloud forest (acarina: rhinonyssidae). | a survey of the nasal mites from guatemalan cloud forest birds is reported. seventy-eight birds, representing 10 families and 18 species, were examined. prevalance of infection was 24%. two new species are described: sternostoma darlingi from mitrephanes phaeocercus (tyrannidae) and s. pencei from empidonax flavescens (tyrannidae). new host records are reported for s. pirangae from chlorospingus ophthalmicus (thraupidae), s. hutsoni from catharus dryas (turdidae), ptilonyssus sairae from chloros ... | 1984 | 6536265 |
| [sense organs on palps and fore tarsi of gamasid mites (parasitiformes, rhinonyssidae), parasites of the nasal cavity of the great tit, the rock dove, and the eurasian coot]. | the main sensory organs (the palpal organ and the tarsal sensory complex) were examined by scanning electron microscopy method in parasites of the nasal cavity of the great tit parus major (ptilonyssus sairae, ptilonyssus pari), the rock dove columba livia (mesonyssus melloi), and the eurasian coot fulica atra (rallinyssus caudistigmus). it was shown that differences in the topography of sensilla within the tarsal complex correspond to the taxonomic relations between species and genera, whereas ... | 2012 | 23458012 |

| nasal mites (gamasida: rhinonyssidae) of paroaria coronata (miller) (passeriformes: emberezidae). | with the aim of identifying the species of nasal mites of paroaria coronata (red-crested cardinal), the nasal cavity of 40 birds were examined. the nasal mites were identified as ptilonyssus sairae de castro and sternostoma pirangae pence, with 50% and 7.5% of prevalence, respectively. this is the first record of these mite species parasitizing p. coronata. this report also amplifies the area of occurrence of s. pirangae for brazil and that of p. sairae for rio grande do sul, brazil. | 2011 | 21952970 |
