ABSTRACT A total of 13 individuals of the rodent Abrocoma bennetti were captured and 354 ectoparasites belonging to 10 different species were collected and analyzed. The most abundant species was the Phthiraptera Monogyropus longus (61.54%), followed by the Siphonaptera Neotyphloceras chilensis (38....

| Sumario: | ABSTRACT A total of 13 individuals of the rodent Abrocoma bennetti were captured and 354 ectoparasites belonging to 10 different species were collected and analyzed. The most abundant species was the Phthiraptera Monogyropus longus (61.54%), followed by the Siphonaptera Neotyphloceras chilensis (38.46%). In this study Gyropus distinctus (15.38%) is reported as new record for A. bennetti, previously described for Octodon degus, a rodent usually living in sympatry with A. bennetti. For the first time the flea Delostichus smiti, and the mites Ornithonyssus sp. and Androlaelaps fahrenholzi are recorded in this rodent species. |
