چکیده
As part of the 65(th) Medical Brigade, U.S. Army, arthropod-borne disease surveillance program and in collaboration with the Korea National Institute of Biological Resources (NIBR), bats were captured from caves and abandoned mines in the Republic of Korea. A total of 39 adult bat flies including five species of Nycteribiidae [Penicillidia jenynsii, Nycteribia parvula, N. formosana, N. allotopa mikado, and an unidentified species of Nycteribia (N. cf. formosana)], and one species of Streblidae, Brachytarsina kanoi, were collected from bats belonging to two families, Rhinolophidae and Vespertilionidae. This is the first report of N. allotopa mikado and N. formosana from the Republic of Korea.

متن کاملBat flies - obligate ectoparasites of bats
Bat flies (Diptera: Hippoboscoidea) are highly specialized ectoparasites and only associate with bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera). They live in the fur and on the wing membranes where they feed on host blood. Bat flies are nominally divided into two cosmopolitan families, Streblidae and Nycteribiidae, but recent phylogenetic studies suggest these are not natural groups (Dittmar et al. 2006). Nycteri...
متن کاملContribution to the knowledge of the Nycteribiidae (Diptera) from Venetian Region
The flies belonging to the Nycteribiidae family are pupiparous, blood-sucking, obligatory ectoparasites of Chiroptera. Their biology and morphology are the result of the adaptation to an ectoparasitic life on their host: the bats. Nine species are reported from Italy, six from the region Veneto. Fly specimens, collected from bats belonging to the main colony (Myotis myotis and Miniopterus schre...
