The Smithsonian Venezuela Project (SVP) conducted extensive surveys of mammals and
ectoparasites in the 1960s. The 25 238 individuals and 130 species of bat collected by SVP …

We investigated seasonality of gender differences in the patterns of flea infestation in nine
rodent species to test if sex-biased parasitism in terms of mean abundance, species …

We examined the correlations between prevalence (proportion of infested individuals),
mean intensity (number of parasites per infested individual), and the number of bat fly …

We describe levels of parasitism of ectoparasitic bat flies (Hippoboscoidea: Streblidae) on
male and female bats from an extensive Neotropical survey. The collection resulted from …

The result of a survey of ectoparasites infesting bats in southeastern Brazil is presented. Of
181 bats belonging to 16 species, 10 (34.1%) were infested by streblid flies (Streblidae) …

Bats can be parasitized by several arthropod groups, including ectoparasitic flies. The high
