Abstract

Several species of ectoparasites, including chewing lice and mites are closely associated with their hosts. The Andean condor (Vultur gryphus) is globally listed as vulnerable by the IUCN and its population has been steadily declining in recent decades suggesting a potential extinction of associated entomofauna. The purpose of this study was to record the species of ectoparasites infesting three individuals of Andean condor found dead in the ‘Páramo del Almorzadero’ Santander Department, Northeastern Colombia. One juvenile (male) and two adults (male and female) Andean condors received for necropsy were carefully examined for ectoparasite infestation. Specimens were collected and preserved in ethanol (70%) for taxonomic studies. Morphologic identification and morphometric records were made under light microscopy. Some specimens were also prepared for scanning electron microscopy and others were subjected to DNA extraction to amplify and obtain sequences of the cytochrome-C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene for phylogenetic analyses. Lice were collected from the juvenile condor and the adult female and identified as Falcolipeurus assesor (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera) in the juvenile condor (8 females, 19 males and 8 nymphs) and the adult (1 female); Colpocephalum trichosum (Phthiraptera: Amblycera) in the juvenile (19 females, 24 males and 1 nymph) and the adult (2 females, 2 males and 3 nymphs); and Cuculiphilus zonatus (Phthiraptera: Amblycera) in the juvenile (40 females, 43 males and 15 nymphs) and the adult (1 male and 2 nymphs). Moreover, one mite collected from the juvenile condor was identified as Ancyralges cathartinus (Acari: Astigmata) (1 female). Morphometric data was obtained for the adult stages of F. assesor (6 females and 13 males), C. trichosum (9 females and 9 males) and C. zonatus (10 females and 10 males). We obtained the first DNA sequences of COI for F. assessor, and C. trichosum, where phylogenetic tree analysis showed that F. assessor is more closely related to Falcolipeurus marginalis, and C. trichosum to Colpocephalum kelloggi. This represents the first record of parasites in Andean condor from Colombia and contributes to the knowledge of chewing lice and mites associated with an endemic and endangered bird species. Further studies on Andean condor ectoparasites should be focused on documenting host–parasite interactions and potential health impacts in these wild birds.

哥伦比亚安第斯秃鹰(Vultur gryphus)体外寄生虫(Phthiraptera 和 Acari)的首次记录。
包括咀嚼虱和螨虫在内的几种体外寄生虫与宿主密切相关。安第斯秃鹫(Vultur gryphus)被世界自然保护联盟(IUCN)列为全球易危物种,近几十年来其数量持续下降,这表明与之相关的体内寄生虫可能会灭绝。本研究的目的是记录在哥伦比亚东北部桑坦德省 "Páramo del Almorzadero "发现的三只安第斯秃鹫尸体上寄生的外寄生虫种类。对接收的一只幼年(雄性)和两只成年(雄性和雌性)安第斯秃鹰的尸体进行了仔细的外寄生虫侵扰检查。采集的标本保存在乙醇(70%)中,用于分类研究。在光学显微镜下进行形态鉴定和形态计量记录。部分标本还准备用于扫描电子显微镜,其他标本则进行了 DNA 提取,以扩增并获得细胞色素-C 氧化酶亚单位 I(COI)基因的序列,用于系统发育分析。从秃鹰幼鸟和成年雌鸟身上采集的虱子被鉴定为秃鹰幼鸟(8 只雌鸟、19 只雄鸟和 8 只若虫)和成年雌鸟(1 只雌鸟)身上的 Falcolipeurus assesor(Phthiraptera: Ischnocera);秃鹰幼鸟身上的 Colpocephalum trichosum(Phthiraptera:Cuculiphiluszonatus(Phthiraptera:Amblycera),幼鸟(19 只雌鸟、24 只雄鸟和 1 只若虫)和成鸟(2 只雌鸟、2 只雄鸟和 3 只若虫);以及 Cuculiphilus zonatus(Phthiraptera:Amblycera),幼鸟(40 只雌鸟、43 只雄鸟和 15 只若虫)和成鸟(1 只雄鸟和 2 只若虫)。此外,从秃鹰幼鸟身上采集到的一只螨虫被鉴定为 Ancyralges cathartinus(Acari:Astigmata)(1 只雌螨)。我们获得了 F. assesor(6 只雌螨和 13 只雄螨)、C. trichosum(9 只雌螨和 9 只雄螨)和 C. zonatus(10 只雌螨和 10 只雄螨)的成螨形态数据。我们首次获得了 F. assessor 和 C. trichosum 的 COI DNA 序列,系统发生树分析表明 F. assessor 与 Falcolipeurus marginalis 的亲缘关系更近,而 C. trichosum 与 Colpocephalum kelloggi 的亲缘关系更近。这是哥伦比亚首次记录安第斯秃鹰体内的寄生虫,有助于了解与这种特有的濒危鸟类相关的嚼虱和螨虫。对安第斯秃鹰体外寄生虫的进一步研究应侧重于记录宿主与寄生虫之间的相互作用以及对这些野生鸟类健康的潜在影响。

期刊介绍: Medical and Veterinary Entomology is the leading periodical in its field. The Journal covers the biology and control of insects, ticks, mites and other arthropods of medical and veterinary importance. The main strengths of the Journal lie in the fields of: -epidemiology and transmission of vector-borne pathogens changes in vector distribution that have impact on the pathogen transmission- arthropod behaviour and ecology- novel, field evaluated, approaches to biological and chemical control methods- host arthropod interactions. Please note that we do not consider submissions in forensic entomology.
