Abstract: Birds of prey harbor a wide spectrum of various parasites, mostly with a heteroxenous life cycle. However, most reports on their parasites come from Europe. Although the Harris\’s hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) is a widespread species in America, parasitological surveys on this hawk are mostly focused on coprological findings and ectoparasites, with poor attention paid to helminths. The aim of this study was to gather new and additional data on host-parasite associations for the Harris\’s hawk. Twenty-nine birds from central and southern Chile were necropsied. Further, nine birds from a rehabilitation center and 22 museum specimens were inspected for ectoparasites. Sixty-eight percent of birds hosted at least one parasite species. Four lice species, one mite species and eight helminth species (five nematodes, two platyhelminthes and one acanthocephalan) were recorded. Parasitic lice Colpocephalum nanum and Nosopon chanabense, and a nematode Cyathostoma (Hovorkonema) americana were recorded for the first time in raptors from the Neotropics. A feather mite, Pseudalloptinus sp., nematodes, Physaloptera alata and Microtetrameres sp., and a trematode Neodiplostomim travassosi, were recorded for the first time in Chile. The presence of diverse heteroxenous helminths reported here in the Harris\’s hawk could be explained by the generalist diet of this raptor.

Spanish title: Helmintos e ectoparasitas do gavi\ão-asa-de-telha (Accipitriformes: Parabuteo unicinctus) no Chile: novas associa\ç\ões parasita-hospedeiro para os rapinantes neotropicais

Resumo: As aves de rapina representam uma fonte importante de parasitas heteroxenos. Por\ém, a maioria dos relatos s\ão da Europa. O gavi\ão-asa-de-telha (Parabuteo unicinctus) \é uma esp\écie amplamente distribu\ída no continente Americano, por\ém estudos parasitol\ógicos nessas aves t\êm documentado achados coprol\ógicos e ectoparasitas, com poucos relatos sobre endoparasitas como helmintos. Por essa raz\ão, o objetivo deste estudo foi descrever novas associa\ç\ões parasita-hospedeiro para o gavi\ão-asa-de-telha e rapinantes neotropicais. Vinte nove aves provenientes do centro e sul do Chile foram submetidas \à necropsia. Por outro lado, nove aves de um centro de reabilita\ç\ão e 22 esp\écimes de museu foram inspecionados em busca de ectoparasitas. Do total de aves, 68,3\% foram identificadas como portadoras de pelo menos uma esp\écie de parasita. Quatro esp\écies de piolhos, um \ácaro e oito helmintos (cinco nematoides, dois platelmintos e um acantoc\éfalo) foram registrados. Os piolhos Colpocephalum nanum, Nosopon chanabense e o nemat\óide Cyathostoma (Hovorkonema) americana s\ão reportados pela primeira vez em rapinantes neotropicais. Colpocephalum nanum, N. chanabense, Pseudalloptinus sp., Physaloptera alata, Microtetrameres sp., C. (H.) americana e Neodiplostomim travassosi, s\ão reportados pela primeira vez no Chile. A diversidade de helmintos heter\óxenos, identificados neste trabalho, poderia ser explicada devido \à dieta geralista do gavi\ão-asa-de-telha.

Abstract Invasive species impact native wildlife in several ways, as they compete for resources and may transmit their specific pathogens. However, the potential consequences of co-introduced parasites are not fully understood. While the house sparrow (Passer domesticus) was introduced in Chile about a century ago, no data are available regarding its parasites. Thus, the aim of the present study was to determine the parasitic fauna of this avian invader and to determine whether there are co-introduced/co-invasive parasites shared with native birds. One hundred and eight birds were collected from three different localities in the \Ñuble region of Chile, and a complete parasitic necropsy was performed in the laboratory. Twenty-three (21.3\%) were parasitized by six arthropod species and four (3.7\%) were parasitized by two helminth species. Four out of eight taxa are reported for the first time in Chile; among them, three arthropod parasites and the tapeworm, Anonchotaenia globate, are considered as co-introduced parasites. Only A. globata is a potential co-invasive parasite given its low degree specificity in terms of its definitive hosts. Future research should examine whether additional co-introduced/co-invasive parasites have been brought by the house sparrow, and what their potential consequences might be on the health of native birds in Chile.

Resumo: As esp\écies invasoras de vertebrados competem com esp\écies nativas no uso de recursos e transmitem pat\ógenos. Contudo as consequ\ências da co-introdu\ç\ão de parasitos permanecem pouco estudadas. O pardal (Passer domesticus) foi introduzido h\á um s\éculo no Chile, por\ém n\ão existem dados sobre seus parasitos. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a fauna parasit\ária e avaliar se existem esp\écies co-introduzidas/co-invasivas compartilhadas com as esp\écies de aves
nativas do Chile. Um total de 108 aves foram coletadas em diferentes localidades da regi\ão de \Ñuble. Seis esp\écies de artr\ópodes parasitos foram coletadas de 23 (21,3\%) aves. Quatro aves (3,7\%) estavam parasitadas por duas esp\écies de helmintos. Quatro de um total de oito esp\écies de parasitos correspondem aos primeiros relatos para o Chile. Tr\ês artr\ópodes parasitos e o helminto Anonchotaenia globata s\ão considerados parasitos co-introduzidos no pa\ís. Apenas A. globata possui potencial para ser considerada uma esp\écie co-invasiva, pois pode parasitar Passeriformes em geral. Pesquisas futuras devem investigar se os demais parasitos identificados neste estudo correspondem a esp\écies co-introduzidas ou co-invasoras e avaliar as poss\íveis consequ\ências na sa\úde das aves nativas do pa\ís.

Parasitological studies of the Franklin\&$\#$39;s gull, Leucophaeus pipixcan, are scarce, and knowledge about its endoparasites is quite limited. In order to describe its parasitic community, a total of 60 Franklin\’s gulls were captured in the coastal area in central Chile, using modified Bal-chatri traps. Ectoparasites were collected from all 60 live individuals through inspection of their plumage, while 30 were examined for endoparasites by standard parasitological necropsy. The prevalence of ectoparasites was 78.3\%, including the feather mite Zachvatkinia larica (43.3\%) and four species of lice: Actornithophilus piceus lari (15.0\%), Austromenopon transversum (6.7\%), Quadraceps punctatus (10.0\%) and Saemundssonia lari (46.7\%). Some 25 of 30 (83.3\%) of birds necropsied were parasitized with the following helminths: Aporchis sp. (6.7\%), Tetrabothrius cylindraceus (56.7\%), Cyclophyllidea gen. sp. (3.3\%), Profilicollis altmani (56.7\%), Eucoleus contortus (10.0\%), Cosmocephalus obvelatus (13.3\%), Paracuaria adunca (10.0\%), Stegophorus sp. (3.3\%) and Tetrameres skrjabini (3.3\%). To our knowledge, with the exception of P. altmani, these helminths are reported for first time in the Franklin\&$\#$39;s gull.

Due to its cold and dry climate and scarcity of ice-free land, Antarctica has one of the most extreme environments on our planet. To survive in the Antarctic region, parasitic arthropods must either remain closely associated with their hosts throughout the entire life cycle or develop physiological adaptations to survive in the terrestrial habitat while their hosts are away foraging at sea or overwintering at lower latitudes. Forty-eight species of birds and seven species of pinnipeds breed in the Antarctic region, with 158 species/subspecies of parasitic arthropods recorded thus far, comprising: sucking lice (Echinophthiriidae), chewing lice (Menoponidae, Philopteridae), fleas (Ceratophyllidae, Pygiopsyllidae, Rhopalopsyllidae), pentastomes (Reighardiidae), hard ticks (Ixodidae), nest-associated haematophagous mites (Laelapidae), nasal mites (Halarachnidae, Rhinonyssidae) and feather
mites (Alloptidae, Avenzoariidae, Xolalgidae, Freyanidae). In this review, we provide an updated compilation of the available information on the host-parasite associations of arthropods infesting birds and pinnipeds in the Antarctic region, and discuss some over-arching ecological patterns and gaps of knowledge.

Comparative studies of parasites in sympatric bird species have been generally scarce. Parasitic infection/transmission can be spread in a number of ways that suggests possible direct and indirect, horizontal transmission between avian hosts. In order to determine whether two sympatric icterids from Central and Southern Chile share their parasite fauna (ecto- and endoparasites), we examined parasites of 27 Shiny Cowbirds, Molothrus bonariensis, and 28 Austral Blackbirds, Curaeus curaeus, including individuals captured in the wild and carcasses. We found that Shiny Cowbirds were infected with the chewing lice Brueelia bonariensis, Philopterus sp. 1, the feather mites Amerodectes molothrus, Proctophyllodes spp. (species 1 and 2), and the helminths Mediorhynchus papillosus, Plagiorhynchus sp., Dispharynx nasuta and Tetrameres paucispina, while Austral Blackbirds had the chewing lice Myrsidea sp., Philopterus sp. 2, the feather mites Proctophyllodes sp. 3, Amerodectes sp., and three helminths: Anonchotaenia sp., Capillaria sp. and M. papillosus. The flea Dasypsyllus (Neornipsyllus) cteniopus was found only on the Austral Blackbird. The only parasite species shared by both icterids was the acanthocephalan M. papillosus, possibly due to their feeding on the same intermediate insect hosts. With the exception of B. bonariensis and Philopterus sp. 1 found on the Shiny Cowbird, all species reported in this study represent new parasite-host
associations and new records of parasite diversity in Chile.

Parasitas do chupim Molothrus bonariensis e do p\ássaro-preto-austral Curaeus curaeus (Passeriformes: Icteridae) no Chile

Resumo
Estudos comparativos de parasitas em esp\écies de aves simp\átricas s\ão escassos. A infec\ç\ão/transmiss\ão de parasitas pode acontecer de diversas maneiras, incluindo poss\ível transmiss\ão direta, indireta ou horizontal entre as aves hospedeiras. Com o objetivo de determinar se dois icter\ídeos simp\átricos do centro e sul do Chile compartilham a sua fauna parasit\ária (ecto- e endoparasitas), foram examinados os parasitas de 27 chupins Molothrus bonariensis e 28 p\ássaros-pretos-austral Curaeus curaeus, incluindo indiv\íduos capturados com rede de neblina e em carca\ças. Nos chupins analisados, foram encontrados os piolhos de penas Brueelia bonariensis, Philopterus sp. 1, os \ácaros Amerodectes molothrus, Proctophyllodes spp. (esp\écie 1 e 2), e os helmintos Mediorhynchus papillosus, Plagiorhynchus sp., Dispharynx nasuta e Tetrameres paucispina. Em contraste, os p\ássarospretos-austral estavam infectados com os piolhos Myrsidea sp., Philopterus sp. 2, os \ácaros Proctophyllodes sp. 3, Amerodectes sp., e os helmintos Anonchotaenia sp., Capillaria sp. e M. papillosus. Adicionalmente, um esp\écime de p\ássaro-preto-austral estava parasitado pela pulga Dasypsyllus (Neornipsyllus) cteniopus. A \única esp\écie de parasita que foi encontrada nas duas esp\écies de aves foi o acantoc\éfalo M. papillosus, possivelmente devido ao fato de que ambas as aves se alimentam dos insetos que s\ão os hospedeiros intermedi\ários deste parasita. Exceto os registros de B. bonariensis e Philopterus sp. 1 encontrados no chupim, todas as esp\écies reportadas neste estudo correspondem \à novas associa\ç\ões de parasita/hospedeiro e novos registros para a diversidade parasitol\ógica do Chile.

Abstract
With the aim to identify the parasite fauna of plumbeous rail, Pardirallus sanguinolentus (Aves: Rallidae) in Chile, 26 carcasses were parasitologically necropsied. The present study revealed the presence of 14 species of parasites (inverse Simpson index = 4.64; evenness = 0.332), including ectoparasites: feather mites: Analloptes megnini, Grallobia sp., Grallolichus sp., Megniniella sp., and Metanalges sp.; the feather lice Pseudomenopon meinertzhageni, Rallicola andinus, and Fulicoffula sp.; and six species of gastrointestinal helminths: Heterakis psophiae, Porrocaecum ardeae, Tetrameres sp., Capillaria sp., Diorchis sp., and Plagiorhynchus sp. The relatively high parasite richness that was found could be attributed to the highly favorable conditions of wetlands for parasite development. All parasites found, except feather lice, are new records for plumbeous rail. A checklist of parasites for plumbeous rail is presented.

To describe the parasitic community of the Magellanic Horned Owl, Bubo magellanicus (Aves, Strigiformes), 19 carcasses from central Chile were analyzed. Ectoparasites were collected through plumage inspection, while endoparasites were collected through traditional techniques of parasitological necropsy. Sixteen owls were infected with at least one species of ectoparasite (84.21\%) or endoparasite (31.58\%). Eleven of 19 birds (57.89\%) harbored feather mites of the three species Pandalura cirrata (42.11\%), Glaucalges attenuatus (47.37\%), and Kramerella sp. (10.53\%), whereas 16 individuals (84.21\%) harbored the chewing louse Strigiphilus chilensis. Only six birds (31.58\%) were infected with helminths; the nematodes Capillaria tenuissima (26.32\%) and Dispharynx nasuta (5.26\%); the acanthocephalan Centrorhynchus spinosus (5.26\%); and the trematode Neodiplostomum sp. (5.26\%). Apart from S. chilensis, all parasites comprised new records for B. magellanicus.

A total of 277 rufous-collared sparrows, Zonotrichia capensis M\üller, 1776 (Emberizidae), were examined for external parasites. The birds were captured using mist nets in seven locations in northern and central Chile. Additionally, seven carcasses from central Chile (the Biob\ío region) were necropsied to evaluate the presence of endoparasite infection. Ectoparasites were found on 35.8\% (99/277) of the examined birds and they were represented by the following arthropods: feather mites Amerodectes zonotrichiae Mironov and Gonz\ález-Acu\ña, 2014 (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae), Proctophyllodes polyxenus Atyeo and Braasch, 1966 (Analgoidea: Proctophyllodidae), and Trouessartia capensis Berla, 1959 (Analgoidea: Trouessartiidae); a louse Philopterus sp. (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera); and ticks Amblyomma tigrinum Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) and Ixodes auritulus Neumann, 1904 (Acari: Ixodidae). Two of the seven necropsied carcasses were infected with the acanthocephalan Mediorhynchus papillosus Van Cleave, 1916 (Gigantorhynchida: Gigantorhynchidae). To our knowledge, this study reports P. polyxenus, Philopterus sp., A. tigrinum, and M. papillosus for the first time for Z. capensis and expands the distributional range for T. capensis to Chile.

Despite being a bird with a broad and extensive distribution in Chile, the black-chinned siskin, Spinus barbatus Molina, 1782 is not well studied in relation to its parasites. This paper aims to describe the ectoparasite fauna of S. barbatus in central and southern Chile. A total of 125 individuals caught with mist nets were examined alive; a total of 22 parasites were found dead and were exposed to parasitic autopsy. The extracted parasites were preserved in 70\% alcohol for subsequent mounting and identification. Ectoparasites were found in 56 black-chinned siskins (38\%); 48 of them (33\%) had 870 mites \– 680 feather mites (Astigmata: Analgoidea) were identified as Proctophyllodes spini, 167 as Knemidokoptes jamaicensis, 19 as Strelkoviacarus critesi, and one as Analges passerinus. Moreover, three mites were chiggers belonging to the tribe Schoengastiini (Prostigmata: Trombiculidae). In 21 birds (14\%), 54 lice were found, 21 of which were identified as Philopterus roehreri, 18 as Myrsidea serini, and 15 as Ricinus carolynae. Endoparasites were not found in the necropsied individuals. All of the parasites that were found represent new records for Chile, and they also serve as new records of host\–parasite associations for S. barbatus.

Parasite species are important components of biodiversity, as they provide valuable information about host health, evolutionary relationships, population structures, trophic interactions, the existence of environmental stresses, and climatic conditions. With the aim of describing the parasites associated with parrots of the genus Enicognathus Gray 1840 from central Chile, thirteen austral parakeets, Enicognathus ferrugineus, and five slender-billed parakeets, E. leptorhynchus, were examined between September 2007 and March 2014. The prevalence of ectoparasites and endoparasites was 88.9\% and 22.2\%, respectively. On eleven of the E. ferrugineus (84.6\%) analyzed, and on all of the E. leptorhynchus analyzed (100\%), five feather mite species (Pararalichus hastifolia, Genoprotolichus major, Protonyssus sp., Fainalges sp., and Eurydiscalges sp.) were collected. On ten E. ferrugineus (76.9\%) and two E. leptorhynchus (40\%), the chewing lice Heteromenopon macrurum, Psittacobrossus patagoni, and Paragoniocotes enicognathidis were collected. The nematode Capillaria plagiaticia was collected from three E. ferrugineus (23.1\%), and the nematode Ascaridia hermaphrodita was found in one E. leptorhynchus (20\%). The presence of C. plagiaticia, Protonyssus sp., Fainalges sp., and Eurydiscalges sp. from the two Enicognathus spp. are new records for Chile and represent new parasite-host associations.

Black-necked swans (Cygnus melanocoryphus) are endemic to the southern cone of South America. Their range extends from Brazil and Paraguay south to Argentina and Chile. A total of 16 parasite species were collected from 7 swans from the Biobio region, Chile, of which 12 are new records for Chile and 11 represent new host records, Echinostoma trivolvis, Paranomostomum sp., Microsomacanthus sp., Nadejdolepis sp., Retinometra sp., Avioserpens sp., Capillaria skrjabini, Ingrassia cygni, Anatoecus penicillatus, A. icterodes and A. keymeri. A checklist is presented that summarizes sites of infections, localities, life cycles and their intermediate hosts (if known), and the pertinent references to demonstrate the wide diversity of parasites of black-necked swans. Our review of the existing literature (23 publications) along with our own records provided information on a total of 18 families and 27 genera, including 33 described species (some only identified to genus), of which 11 were recorded only in Chile (8 endoparasites and 3 ectoparasites), and 6 only in Argentina (4 endoparasites and 2 ectoparasites). Five parasites are known only from captive swans in European zoos. Parasites recorded from C. melanocoryphus include 23 helminths and 10 ectoparasites (one leech and 9 arthropods).

The diversity of bird species nesting in Canadian grasslands is high, and each of them is host to one
or more species of lice and mites. A checklist of feather lice (Phthiraptera: Amblycera, Ischnocera) and feather\ mites (Acari: Analgoidea, Pterolichoidea) from 160 species of birds that nest in terrestrial and aquatic habitats\ in the grassland biome in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba is provided here. The list includes known and\ expected records. In total, four families, 54 genera, and 183 named species and subspecies of chewing lice are\ known to occur on these hosts in the Prairie Provinces. At least an additional 63 species are expected to be\ found eventually, on the basis of records from these hosts elsewhere in North America. Twenty-seven species in\ six genera have been collected from hosts with no prior louse records; many of these species are undescribed.\ For feather mites, 20 families, 73 genera, 134 named species, and 38 undescribed species are known to occur,\ and an additional 13 genera and 39 species are expected to be found eventually on these hosts in Canadian\ grasslands. Many populations and species of grassland-breeding birds are endangered in North America, and it
is clear that should they be lost, many species of lice and mites would disappear with them.

Abstract:\ Thirty-six chilean pigeons (Columba araucana) that had been killed by poisoning in the district of Pinto, \Ñuble province, Chile, were analyzed for the presence of external and gastrointestinal parasites. After analyzing the digestive tract of each bird, there were no gastrointestinal parasites or injuries attributed to them. After conducting a thorough search of the feathers three ectoparasites species were isolated, two chewing lice (Insecta, Phthiraptera): Columbicola adamsi (27,8 \%) and Physconelloides wisemani (5,5 \%); and one feather mite species (Acari, Falculiferidae): Falculifer lacertosus (22,2 \%). The three reported parasites are new records for Chile and represented new host records.

Spanish Title: Parasitismo externo y gastrointestinal en torcaza Columba araucana Lesson, 1827 (Aves, Columbidae) de la Comuna de Pinto, Provincia de \Ñuble, Chile

Resumen: Se analizaron par\ásitos externos y gastrointestinales de treinta y seis torcazas (Columba araucana)muertas por intoxicaci\ón en la comuna de Pinto, provincia de \Ñuble, Chile. La necropsia parasitol\ógica no evidenci\ó la presencia de par\ásitos gastrointestinales, ni lesiones atribuibles a estos. Desde el plumaje se aislaron tres especies de ectopar\ásitos; dos piojos (Insecta, Phthiraptera): Columbicola adamsi (27,8 \%) y Physconelloides wisemani (5,5 \%); y una especie de \ácaro plumicola (Acari, Falculiferidae): Falculifer lacertosus (22,2 \%). Las tres especies de ectopar\ásitos representan nuevos registros para Chile y constituyen.

Feather mites are highly specialized plumage and skin ectoparasites that are variously adapted for inhabiting certain microhabitats on a bird\&$\#$39;s body. Different feather mite taxa of higher (familial) rank adapted to the same microhabitats display similar main morphological adaptations even if they are rather distantly related to one another. Hypotheses on the evolution of general adaptations in morphology of feather mites during colonization and establishment in different microhabitats are presented. According to recent data, feather mites are a paraphyletic group consisting of three superfamilies: Analgoidea, Pterolichoidea and Freyanoidea. We present our view on the general feather mite phylogeny course at the familial rank for the Analgoidea by means of cladistic analysis. Co-speciation of parasites with their hosts is postulated as a main factor driving feather mite evolution. Examples are given of non-coevolutionary events, for example recolonization from one host species onto another, extinction and multiple speciation.
