| molecular evidence for novel bartonella species in trichobius major (diptera: streblidae) and cimex adjunctus (hemiptera: cimicidae) from two southeastern bat caves, u.s.a. | | 2005 | 16599175 |
| range-wide genetic structure and demographic history in the bat ectoparasite cimex adjunctus. | evolutionary histories of parasite and host populations are intimately linked such that their spatial genetic structures may be correlated. while these processes have been relatively well studied in specialist parasites and their hosts, less is known about the ecological and evolutionary consequences of relationships between generalist ectoparasites and their hosts. the aim of this study was to investigate the genetic structure and demographic history of a bat ectoparasite, cimex adjunctus, whos ... | 2016 | 27927166 |
| comparative analysis of landscape effects on spatial genetic structure of the big brown bat and one of its cimicid ectoparasites. | identification of landscape features that correlate with genetic structure permits understanding of factors that may influence gene flow in a species. comparing effects of the landscape on a parasite and host provides potential insights into parasite-host ecology. we compared fine-scale spatial genetic structure between big brown bats (eptesicus fuscus) and their cimicid ectoparasite (cimex adjunctus; class insecta) in the lower great lakes region of the united states, in an area of about 160,00 ... | 2017 | 29075444 |
| survey of parasitic bacteria in bat bugs, colorado. | bat bugs (cimex adjunctus barber) (hemiptera: cimicidae) collected from big brown bats (eptesicus fuscus palisot de beauvoir) in colorado, united states were assessed for the presence of bartonella, brucella, and yersinia spp. using molecular techniques. no evidence of brucella or yersinia infection was found in the 55 specimens collected; however, 4/55 (7.3%) of the specimens were positive for bartonella dna. multi-locus characterization of bartonella dna shows that sequences in bat bugs are ph ... | 2018 | 29329460 |
| ectoparasite community structure of two bats (myotis lucifugus and m. septentrionalis) from the maritimes of canada. | prevalence of bat ectoparasites on sympatric myotis lucifugus and m. septentrionalis was quantitatively characterized in nova scotia and new brunswick by making systematic collections at swarming sites. six species of ectoparasite were recorded, including myodopsylla insignis, spinturnix americanus, cimex adjunctus, macronyssu scrosbyi, androlaelap scasalis, and an unknown species of the genus acanthophthirius. male m. lucifugus and m. septentrionalis had similar prevalence of any ectoparasite ( ... | 2011 | 22028951 |
| ectoparasite associations of bats from central pennsylvania. | between april and october 1997, 689 bats representing seven species were captured at pennsylvania's canoe creek state park. each bat was sampled for ectoparasitic arthropods, and four species were collected from 13.2% of the host individuals. ectoparasites include the bat flea myodopsylla insignis (rothschild), the wing mite spinturnix americanus (banks), the bed bug cimex adjunctus barber, and the soft tick ornithodoros kelleyi cooley & kohls. prevalence, relative density, and mean intensity we ... | 2003 | 14765658 |
| ectoparasites of brazilian free-tailed bats with emphasis on anatomical site preferences for chiroptonyssus robustipes (acari: macronyssidae). | seven species of arthropods were recovered from 45 brazilian free-tailed bats, tadarida brasiliensis (i. geoffrey), captured from may 1994 to may 1995 from a roost in jenkins county, ga. six species of mites were found infesting the bats, representing 5 families: macronyssidae, cheyletidae, sarcoptidae, rosensteiniidae, and uropodidae. the macronyssid mite chiroptonyssus robustipes (ewing) and the hemipteran bat bug, cimex adjunctus (barber), were collected from the host and the roost. c. robust ... | 1999 | 10467777 |
| ectoparasitic mites (acari) of sympatric brazilian free-tailed bats and big brown bats in alabama. | seven species of mites were recovered from 133 brazilian free-tailed bats, tadarida brasiliensis, and 94 big brown bats, eptesicus fuscus, from february through november 1990 in colonies that shared roosting space in east-central alabama. the macronyssid chiroptonyssus robustipes (ewing) was the most common mite on t. brasiliensis (964 mites, 87% of bats infested) and on e. fuscus (109 mites, 29% of bats infested). however, c. rubustipes normally is a specific parasite of t. brasiliensis. the ma ... | 1992 | 1625301 |
