O presente estudo teve como objetivos investigar a comunidade de ectoparasitos associada a aves Mata do Olho D \água, localizada no munic\ípio de Maca\íba, Rio Grande do Norte, BR, sua estrutura e a influ\ência de vari\áveis ambientais e morfol\ógicas dos hospedeiros, al\ém de averiguar prefer\ências de microh\ábitat pelas esp\écies de \ácaros de pena e mal\ófagos em associadas \às aves em estudo. Foram examinados 172 indiv\íduos pertencentes a 38 esp\écies de aves Passeriformes e n\ão-Passeriformes. S\ão reportados 12 novos registros geogr\áficos para o Brasil e 11 associa\ç\ões ainda n\ão conhecidas com hospedeiros de \ácaros de pena e mal\ófagos. Foi detectada rela\ç\ão significativa entre abund\ância de mal\ófagos e as vari\áveis comprimento total (r= 0,29; p\<0,05) e c\úlmen exposto (r= 0,38; p\<0,05) dos hospedeiros. Uma componente principal (CP1) respons\ável por 90,1\% da varia\ç\ão morfol\ógica dos hospedeiros foi significativamente influente sobre a abund\ância de mal\ófagos (p\<0,05), indicando que caracter\ísticas morfol\ógicas dos hospedeiros podem estar influenciando positivamente a abund\ância desses ectoparasitos. Frequ\ência significativamente maior de indiv\íduos com altas cargas de mal\ófagos foi dectada durante o per\íodo de seca (x\²= 8,5; p\<0,05), corroborando estudos que prop\õem que aves de ambientes \áridos sofrem tanta press\ão parasit\ária quanto aquelas de ambientes \úmidos. An\álises de modelos nulos de coocorr\ência e sobreposi\ç\ão de nicho apontaram alto grau de estrutura nas assembleias de \ácaros e mal\ófagos, quando comparadas com outros grupos, e prefer\ências no uso de microh\ábitats pelos t\áxons identificados. Estes resultados corroboram teorias ecol\ógicas nos sistemas parasito-hospedeiro, contribuem para o conhecimento dos ectoparasitos associados \às aves neotropicais e apontam a necessidade de estudos experimentais, assim como maior aprofundamento na biologia desses artr\ópodos

This study to aimed investigate the community of ectoparasites associated with birds in the Mata do Olho D \água, in the municipality of Maca\íba, Rio Grande do Norte (RN), Brazil, its structure and the ambiental and hosts influential variables on it, and to verify microhabitats preferences by species of chewing lice and feather mites. We examined 172 individuals belonging to 38 species of Passeriformes and non-Passeriformes. 12 new geographic records are reported and 11 host-parasite associations not yet known for chewing lice and feather mites species. Significant relationship was found between the abundance of chewing lice and the variables total length (r = 0.29, p \<0.05) and exposed culmen (r = 0.38, p \<0.05) of the hosts. A principal component (PC1) accounted for 90.1\% of the hosts morphological variation was significantly influential on the abundance of chewing lice (p \<0.05), indicating that the morphological characteristics of the hosts may be positively influencing the abundance of these ectoparasites. Significantly higher frequency of individuals with high loads of chewing lice was detected during the dry period (x \² = 8.5, p \<0.05), corroborating studies that propose that birds of arid environments suffer as much pressure as those of parasitic humid environments. Analyses of null models of co-occurrence and niche overlap showed a high degree of structure in the feather mites and chewing lice assemblies, when compared with other groups, and preferences in the use of microhabitats by taxa identified. These results corroborate ecological theories in host-parasite systems, contribute to the knowledge of ectoparasites associated with neotropical birds, and the need for experimental studies, as well as further deepening the biology of these arthropods

Aim:To discover the origins of the lice, haemosporidian parasites and feather mites found on or in Gal\ápagos flycatchers (Myiarchus magnirostris), by testing whether they colonized the islands with the ancestors of M. magnirostris or if they were acquired by M. magnirostris after its arrival in the Gal\ápagos Islands.

Location: The Gal\ápagos Islands (Ecuador) and north-western Costa Rica.

Methods: We collected lice, feather mites and blood samples from M. magnirostris on seven of the Gal\ápagos Islands (n = 254), and from its continental sister species, M. tyrannulus, in Costa Rica (n = 74), and identified them to species level using traditional taxonomy and DNA sequencing.


Results:The blood parasites from the two bird species were different: Plasmodium was found only in M. tyrannulus, while a few individuals of M. magnirostris were infected by Haemoproteus multipigmentatus from Gal\ápagos doves (Zenaida galapagoensis). Myiarchus tyrannulus was parasitized by three louse species, two of which (Ricinus marginatus and Menacanthus distinctus) were also found on Myiarchus magnirostris. We also collected one louse specimen from M. magnirostris, which was identified as Brueelia interposita, a species commonly found on finches and yellow warblers from the Gal\ápagos, but never recorded on M. tyrannulus. The richness of mite species was lower for M. magnirostris than for M. tyrannulus; all mite species or genera from M. magnirostris were also sampled on M. tyrannulus, but M. tyrannulus had two additional mite species.

Main conclusions: Our results revealed that two of the louse and three of the mite species we found on M. magnirostris are likely to have come to the archipelago with these birds\’ colonizing ancestors, but that one louse and one haemosporidian species were acquired from the Gal\ápagos bird community after the arrival of the M. magnirostris lineage. We also confirmed that, for closely related hosts, island mite richness was lower than on the continent.

Abstract: A total of 27 Long-tailed Meadowlarks Sturnella loyca (Molina, 1782) from the Biob\ío Region were\ examined between January 2005 and December 2008. Birds were infected with chewing lice (Phthiraptera), feather\ mites (Acari), and helminths\ (Platyhelminthes, Acanthocephala). Three species of chewing lice were found: Brueelia\ boae Cicchino and Castro, 1996 (26\% prevalence), Menacanthus leistidis Cicchino, 1984 (7.4\%), and Menacanthus\ sturnellae Price, 1977 (7.4\%). Mites included 4 taxa: Amerodectes sp. (Mironov, 2008) (14.8\%), Harphyrhynchoides\ sp. (Fain, 1972) (7.4\%), Mesalgoides sp. (Fain, 1972) (3.7\%), and Proctophyllodes sp. (Robin, M\égnin, 1877)\ (3.7\%). Gastrointestinal helminths included the cestode Anonchotaenia longiovata (Fuhrmann, 1901) (18\%) and the\ acanthocephalan Mediorhynchus robustus (Van Cleave, 1916) (3.7\%). With the exception of B. boae and M. leistidis,\ all parasites represent new records for this passerine bird species.

This study was performed to detect chewing lice species occurring on domestic and wild birds in Turkey between October 2010 and May 2012. For this aim, the birds were brought to Veterinary Faculty of Sel\çuk University and Biology Department of Science Faculty of Anadolu University were examined for their lice. The louse specimens collected from the birds were preserved in eppendorf tubes contains ethyl alcohol 70\%. They were cleared in Potassium Hydroxide (KOH) 10\% for a day, washed within distilled water for a day and transferred to alcohol 70\%, 80\%, 90\% and 99\% at consecutive days. Then, they were mounted on the slides in Canada balsam and identified to species. Among studied 26 bird species in 24 genera and 17 families belonging to 9 orders, seventeen species (65.38\%) were found to be infested with lice and no louse specimen was found in 9 bird species (34.62\%). The forty-one specimens (48.23\%) of examined 85 birds were found to be infested with the lice, and 32 lice species were detected. Besides, the genera Falcolipeurus, Coloceras and Struthiolipeurus, the species; Brueelia apiastri (Denny, 1842); Brueelia munda (Nitzsch, 1866); Coloceras piageti (Johnston ve Harrison, 1912); Coloceras israelensis (Tendeiro, 1974); Degeeriella nisus (Giebel, 1866); Degeeriella phylctopygus (Nitzsch, 1861); Degeeriella rufa (Burmeister, 1838); Falcolipeurus quadripustulatus (Burmeister, 1838); Laemobothrion vulturis (Fabricius, J.C., 1775); Menacanthus orioli (Blagovestchensky, 1951); Philopterus fringillae (Scopoli, 1772); Struthiolipeurus struthionis (Gervais, 1844) were recorded for the first time from the birds in Turkey. Columbicola columbae was found on the Long-eared Owl as a first record.

This study was performed to detect chewing lice on Magpie, between the dates of August 2011-February 2012 in Konya, Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. For this aim, 64 Magpie individuals were examined for the louse. In order to sample chewing lice, the feathers of the birds were carefully examined macroscopically. All lice were collected and placed in tubes with 70\% alcohol, cleared in 10\% KOH mounted in Canada balsam on slides and identified under a light microscope. Of birds examined, 20 out of 64 (31.25\%) were infested with at least one chewing louse species. Three lice species which belongs to the three genera, Menacanthus eurysternus (Burmeister, 1838), Myrsidea picae (Linnaeus, 1758) and Brueelia biocellata (Piaget, 1880) were found. Brueelia biocellata is the first ever recorded in Turkey.
