Southern pudu (Pudu puda) is a threatened endemic deer of the temperate forests of Chile. In recent years pudu populations rates have decreased mainly due to anthropogenic causes including forest loss and landscape fragmentation. In this context, the parasitic fauna of
Chilean pudu has been scarcely investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the parasitic status of rescued pudu n = 13 from its natural habitat in Central Chile (Maule region) during March 2022 and June 2023 by applying morphological, histopathological, and molecular analyses. As result, we report the presence of transmission of parasites from dogs to pudus as showed by the presence of metacestodes of the parasite Taenia hydatigena on omentum, liver, and pleura of pudus during postmortem examinations, being the first molecular report on the presence of this parasite on Chilean pudu. Meanwhile, ectoparasite examinations determined the presence of chewing and sucking lice on pudu exemplars here analysed. Molecular and phylogenetic analysis of lice revealed new insights on Bovicola and Anoplura lice parasitizing P. puda in Chile, equally being the first genetic characterization of lice parasitizing pudu
exemplars in Chile. In addition, parasite loads of lice and metacestodes were analysed. However, no statistically significance was observed when comparing environmental and individual traits influence on parasite load variation. Overall, the study area is the northern
limit of habitat distribution of this specie in Chile and we here provide novel information on pudu deer parasites, thus making a useful and valuable contribution to the parasitological knowledge on this threatened species.

De acuerdo a las características de distribución espacialmente fragmentada de los parásitos en sus hospedadores, se ha observado algunos patrones recurrentes: (i) la amplitud de nicho de un parásito, en términos de especificidad hospedadora, refleja su posición exacta y su papel en la biósfera, y determina la probabilidad que tenga éxito en invadir un nuevo hábitat o adaptarse a nuevos hospedadores; (ii) el gregarismo responde a una situación donde un pequeño número de hospedadores concentra la mayoría de los parásitos, y los niveles intermedios del gregarismo parasitario pueden haber sido favorecidos por la selección natural; y (iii) la distribución parasitaria espacial puede estar influenciada por interacciones de los parásitos con condiciones ambientales, donde los hospedadores representan “parches” favorables para el crecimiento y reproducción, así también las regiones húmedas presentan mayores prevalencias y abundancias parasitarias, que las regiones áridas, incluso a través de la distribución geográfica de sus hospedadores. Los parásitos son modelos muy convenientes para el estudio de los patrones de la estabilidad y variabilidad de los parámetros ecológicos de una especie. El objetivo principal de este estudio fue el de evaluar si los niveles del parasitismo de piojos en sus hospedadores aviares y en un área geográfica, son congruentes: (i) al patrón de amplitud de nicho ecológico de esta taxa parasitaria particular; (ii) al patrón universal de gregarismo parasitario; y (iii) a una especificidad parasitaria espacial, para caracterizar aspectos de la estructura de la abundancia y distribución parasitaria de un modelo Phthiraptera-aves en el norte de Chile. Este estudio fue realizado entre los años 2010 a 2012, realizándose recolecciones en 14 localidades, distribuidas en seis ecorregiones, dentro el territorio norte de Chile. Fueron evaluadas 923 aves, incluidas en tres órdenes (Apodiformes-Caprimulgiformes, Columbiformes y Passeriformes), caracterizándose en este estudio los siguientes patrones ecológicos: (i) particulares a la taxa parasitaria en esta geografía: Moderada a baja especificidad de nicho ecológico de Amblycera, y alta especificidad de nicho ecológico de Ischnocera; (ii) universales: Distribución gregaria de Amblycera e Ischnocera, y la mayor dispersión parasitaria, produce un menor gregarismo en Amblycera e Ischnocera; y (iii) particulares a la geografía: Especificidad ecorregional y variabilidad en la abundancia parasitaria de Ischnocera.

English title: Characterizing ecological patterns in parasite structure: ecoregional and host influence, in a model Phthiraptera-Aves from North of Chile

Abstract: According to the characteristics of spatially fragmented distribution of parasites in their hosts has been observed some recurring patterns: (i) the niche amplitude of a parasite, in terms of host specificity reflects its exact position and role in the biosphere, and determines the probability to success to invade a new habitat or adapt to new hosts; (ii) the aggregation responds to a situation where a small number of hosts concentrate most parasites, and intermediate levels of parasitic aggregated may have been favored by natural selection; and (iii) the parasitic spatial distribution can be influenced by interactions of parasites with environmental conditions where hosts represent favorable "patches" for the growth and reproduction, in this way humid regions have higher parasite prevalence and abundance, than arid regions, even across the geographical distribution of their hosts. Parasites are very convenient models for the study of patterns of stability and variability of ecological parameters of a species. The main objective of this study was to assess whether levels of parasitism of lice in their avian hosts and geographic area, are congruent: (i) to the pattern of ecological niche breadth of this particular parasite taxa; (ii) to the universal pattern of parasitic aggregated; and (iii) to a parasitic spatial specificity to characterize aspects of the structure of the abundance and distribution parasitic of the a Phthiraptera-birds model in northern Chile. This study was conducted between 2010-2012, performing collections in 14 localities in six ecoregions within the territory of northern Chile. They were evaluated 923 birds, including three orders (Apodiformes-Caprimulgiformes, Columbiformes, and Passeriformes), characterized in this study the existence of ecological patterns: (i) particular to parasitic taxa in this geography: moderate to low specificity of ecological niche of Amblycera lice, and high specificity of ecological niche of Ischnocera lice; (ii) universals: Amblycera and Ischnocera aggregated distribution, and most parasitic dispersion produces less aggregation in Amblycera and Ischnocera); and (iii) to this particular geography: ecoregional specificity of Phthiraptera, and variability in parasite abundance of Ischnocera.

El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el parasitismo gastrointestinal y externo que afecta al Chuncho (Glaucidium nanum) en la Región del Bío Bío, Chile. Entre los meses de marzo del 2006 a mayo del 2007, se examinaron 15 ejemplares de Chuncho (cadáveres) a los que se les revisó el plumaje en busca de ectoparásitos, además se realizó necropsia parasitológica y examen coprológico para detectar presencia de formas parasitarias internas. En 20 % de los Chunchos se recolectaron phthirapteras de la especie Strigiphilus microgenitalis y en 13,3 % Kurodaia caputonis, registro que representa el primero para Chile. En un ejemplar se colectó un nemátodo correspondiente al género Procyrnea (Espiruridio) (6,6 %). Se apreció una mayor abundancia de S. microgenitalis machos sobre las hembras, no así el caso de K. caputonis donde el número de machos encontrados fue equivalente al de hembras. A partir de los resultados obtenidos, se concluye que el Chuncho presenta un porcentaje moderado de parasitismo externo y una baja presencia de endoparásitos en la región del Bío Bío.

Abstract: To determinate gastrointestinal and external parasitism thats affects Austral Pygmy-Owl (Glaucidium nanum) in Bío Bío región Chile, between march 2006 to may 2007, 15 Austral Pygmy-Owl individuals was examinated. To each Austral Pygmy-Owl a parasitologic necropsy and coprologic test was made to detect parasitic forms presence. In the 20 % (N=3) of Austral Pygmy-Owl Phthiraptera Strigiphilus microgenitalis and in 13.3 % (N=2) Kurodaia caputonis was recollected, this is the first record for Glaucidium nanum in Chile. In one Austral Pygmy-Owl individual a nematode corresponding to habronema (Spiruridio)(6,6 %) genus was collected. S. microgenitalis males were more abundant that females on the same specie, it’s not the case of K. caputonis where the males number found was equivalent to the females. From the obtained results it concluded that Austral Pygmy-Owl presents a moderate percentaje of extern parasitism and a low presence of endoparasites, results that are discussed.

We describe a new species of storm-petrel, Oceanites pincoyae (Pincoya Storm-Petrel), from the Puerto Montt and Chacao channel area, Chile. The description is based on 1 specimen collected at sea in Seno Reloncavi on 19 February 2011 and 11 other individuals that were caught, examined, and released. The new taxon's foraging ecology and behavioral habits are unique among the southern Oceanitinae, including “mouse-runs” and repeated diving beneath the surface to retrieve food items. Its distinctive appearance includes bold white ulnar bars, extensive white panels to the underwing, and white to the lower belly and vent. Among species of Oceanites, it is unique in showing white outer vanes to the outer two pairs of rectrices. It further differs from all other storm-petrels in having a distinctive juvenile plumage. Morphometrically it is distinct from Oceanites gracilis gracilis (Elliot's Storm-Petrel) and smaller than O. oceananicus chilensis (the Fuegian form of Wilson's Storm-Petrel), having a shorter tarsus and longer middle toe. There also appear to be differences in the timing of breeding and molt between the new taxon and both O. o. chilensis and O. g. gracilis. We estimate the population size of the new species as ∼3,000 individuals.

Resumen

Describimos una nueva especie de petrel, Oceanites pincoyae, del área de Puerto Montt y el canal de Chacao, Chile. La descripción se basa en un espécimen coleccionado en el mar en Seno Reloncavi el 19 de febrero de 2011, y en 11 individuos adicionales que fueron capturados, examinados y liberados. La ecología de forrajeo y los hábitos de comportamiento del nuevo taxón son únicos entre los demás Oceanitinae del sur, incluyendo “carreras de raton” y buceos repetidos por debajo de la superficie para obtener el alimento. Su apariencia única incluye barras cubitales gruesas y blancas, parches blancos extensos por debajo del ala, y vientre bajo y cloaca blancos. Entre las especies de Oceanites, es único en mostrar el vexilo exterior blanco en las dos parejas exteriores de rectrices. Además se diferencia de otros petreles por tener un plumaje juvenil distinto. Morfométricamente se diferencia de Oceanites gracilis gracilis por tener el tarso más corto y el dedo medio más largo, y es más pequeño que Oceanites oceananicus chilensis. También parece haber diferencias en el momenta de reproducción y muda entre el nuevo taxón y O. o. chilensis y O. g. gracilis. Estimamos un tamaño poblacional de la nueva especie de unos 3000 individuos.

This paper presents and discusses archaeological samples of Pediculus humanus capitis nits/eggs in Arica, northern Chile, dating between 2000 B.C. and A.D. 500. Eight samples of nits/eggs taken directly from seven mummified bodies of both the valley and the coast of Arica, were collected and studied. Samples were analysed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), uncoated, using low and variable pressure modes. The aim was to study the morphology of the nits/eggs, the different degrees of preservation and their research potential. All samples were in good external condition and due to manipulation before SEM analysis, the oldest ones were fractured allowing the observation in situ of the hatching ad portas of an embryo. This inside view of the egg allowed observation and identification of microstructures of the embryo such as abdominal and thoracic spiracles and claws. In the most recent and best preserved samples, external structures characteristic of the egg such as aeropyles and operculum were observed. SEM can contribute significantly to the study of ectoparasites that affected ancient American populations and in this particular case to illustrate the stages and morphology of Andean archaeological specimens of P. humanus capitis.

Highlights

► SEM analysis proved useful to study ancient Andean Pediculus humanus capitis eggs. ► EP mode allows preservation of ancient samples. ► SEM analysis shows operculum, aeropyles, a cementing substance, an embryonated and hatching of eggs of Pediculus humanus capitis.

English title: Contributions in taxonomy, ecology and sanitary importance of ectoparasites of herpetozoans and wild mammals from Argentina and Chile in the last decade

Abstract: This work provides an update on the status of researches in ectoparasites of herpetozoans and wild mammals from Argentina and Chile. We mainly focus on the new lines of research developed in the last decade, which in many cases allowed the establishment of new research groups. This review arises from the results from the First Workshop on Ectoparasite Studies in Argentina and Chile, during the VIII Argentine Congress of Parasitology (Corrientes, April 2019). The current state of research on ectoparasites in the region shows a broad taxonomic knowledge of the different ectoparasite groups, and a marked tendency to address ecological and/or epidemiological studies. We remarked the key role of a scientific politic in the growing of the knowledge of the ectoparasites from Argentina and Chile. This is particularly reflected in the federalization of the studies and the training of new specialists, qualified people graduated from National Public Universities, supported by postgraduate scholarships, and whose research had been subsidized by various national funds. We considered that is important to be able to generate spaces for discussion and updating; and we propose the creation of a network of ectoparasitology specialists in the region, sharing knowledge and information and performing interdisciplinary work in synergy.

English title: The parasites of Chilean raptors: a review

Summary: We reviewed the published literature on parasites of Chilean raptors with the aim to evaluate the state of the art of this topic. We found a total of 22 publications which report 51 parasites species from 23 species of Chilean raptors, including two subspecies. The raptor hosts with the most reports of parasites were the Chimango Caracara (Milvago chimango) and the American Kestrel (Falco sparverius). The taxonomic order of parasites with the highest number of reports was Phthiraptera (N = 47), followed by Acari (N = 4). Regarding endoparasites, the scarce number of publications (N = 3) describe 10 helminth species from only two raptor species, Chimango Caracara and American Kestrel. Most of the papers contained taxonomic descriptions and/or only documented parasites records, and only four focused on ecological aspects. We presumed that future studies will permit describe new parasite species on Chilean raptors, and better understand the host-parasite relationship.

RESUMEN.- Con el propósito de conocer el estado del arte en el estudio de la parasitofauna de las aves rapaces de Chile hicimos una revisión de la literatura publicada acerca del tema. Registramos un total de 22 publica- ciones que en su conjunto describen la presencia de 51 especies de parásitos en 23 especies de aves rapaces, incluyendo dos subespecies. Las especies hospedadoras con mayor cantidad de registros de especies parásitas fueron el tiuque (Milvago chimango) y el cernícalo (Falco sparverius). El orden taxonómico de parásitos con el mayor número de registros entre las aves rapaces chilenas fue Phthiraptera (N = 47), seguido por Acari (N = 4). Respecto de los endoparásitos, los escasos estudios publicados (N = 3) describen a 10 especies de helmintos en dos especies de rapaces estudiadas: tiuque y cernícalo. La mayor parte de los estudios hicieron descripciones taxonómicas y/o solamente registros de parásitos, y solo cuatro abordaron aspectos ecológicos. Presumimos que estudios futuros permitirán descripciones de nuevas especies parásitas de aves rapaces chilenas y mejorarán nuestro conocimiento sobre las relaciones hospedador-parásito.

Abstract: A total of 27 Long-tailed Meadowlarks Sturnella loyca (Molina, 1782) from the Biobío 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, Mégnin, 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.

We describe species of lice collected from 12 species of Chilean diurnal raptors. Sampled raptors were obtained from wildlife rehabilitation centers and zoos, as carcasses found along highways, and from the avian collection of the National Museum of Natural History. Fourteen species of lice were isolated from all raptor hosts, with genus Degeeriella Neumann, 1906 (Philopteridae) and Colpocephalum Nitzsch, 1818 (Menoponidae) the most frequently found (60% and 26% of all lice, respectively). Degeeriella leucopleura (Nitzsch in Giebel, 1874) from Cinereous Harrier (Circus cinereus), D. carruthi Emerson, 1953 from American Kestrel (Falco sparverius) and Colpocephalum maculatum Piaget, 1880 from Southern Caracara (Caracara plancus) were the lice most commonly collected. Including data from previous studies, we found that in Chilean Falconiformes (1) Colpocephalum turbinatum Denny, 1842 is the louse species associated with the greatest number of raptor species, (2) Degeeriella fulva and Laemobothrion tinnunculi are characteristic of the genera of Buteo and Falco, respectively, and (3) the degree of host-specificity is high (76% of all louse species were associated with only one species host). Thus, our results are similar to those observed for other raptor hosts worldwide.

The parasitological fauna of 40 dogs was studied in San Juan Bautista, Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile. 50% (n = 20) of the dogs had eggs of the Ancylostomid, Strongylid type and/or the oocysts of Isospora sp. and Cystoisospora canis. No positive samples of cestodes were found. 100% of the dogs were parasited by the fleas Ctenocephalides canis, C. felis and/or Pulex irritans. One brown dog tick, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, was found in one dog (2.5%). The importance of these findings is discussed.

The parasites of 40 Lepus europaeus (hares) were analyzed (20 of the Ñuble Province and 20 of Ultima Esperanza) caught between January 2003 and August 2004. In the Ñuble province three endoparasites species were isolated: Trichostrongylus retortaeformis (60%), Passalurus ambiguus (5%) and Eimeria spp. (45%). In Ultima Esperanza only T. retortaeformis was isolated with 60% of infection. The ectoparasite species isolated corresponded to the Phthiraptera Haemodipsus lyriocephalus in a hare of the Ñuble Province. No significant differences in the presence of gastrointestinal parasites were found with respect to sex and age of the hare. Nor was there any significant difference between parasitism of T. retortaeformis in the two studied zones.

...An 87.5% of birds were parasitised by one or more of the following louse species: Holomenopon brevithoracicum, Anaticola marginella, Anatoecus dentatus and Anatoecus icterodes, all of them belonging to the Order Phthiraptera. All these species represent new louse records from Magellan geese for Chile, as well as a new host-louse record for A. dentatus on C. picta.

Until now, Pthirus pubis infestation in ancient human populations had only been recorded in the Old World. We found crab lice on South American mummified bodies from the Atacama Desert region. Crab louse eggs were found attached to the pubic hairs of a 2,000-yr-old Chilean mummy. Well-preserved adults were found in sediment and clothing from a Peruvian mummy dated 1,000 yr ago. Paleoparasitological evidence expands the knowledge of the distribution of this ectoparasite in ancient populations. As with many other parasites, pubic lice recorded in Andean populations show the antiquity of this parasite in the New World. It is likely that P. pubis entered the continent with early human migration to the New World.

This is a first report from Chile, of Hoplopleura travassosi Werneck 1932 and its host Oligoryzomys longicaudatus (Bennet 1833). New data of distribution in Chile of Hoplopleura andina Castro 1981 a parasite of Akodon olivaceus Waterhouse, 1853 is given. Status of neotropical species of genus Hoplopleura and their present geographical distribution is discussed.
