Abstract

Procellariidae is the most diverse family of the order Procellariiformes, with 13 genera and about 90 species of seabirds. The genus Calonectris is represented by three species in the Atlantic Ocean. Bartonella spp. is a globally distributed bacterium primarily affecting mammals, with transmission through hematophagous arthropod vectors. Recent studies have found Bartonella in non-mammals like birds and turtles, prompting the present study to explore the potential role of chewing lice in its transmission. Here, we report two different Bartonella genotypes in each lice species identified: one showing genetic relatedness to Bartonella vinsonii berkhoffii, and another one to Bartonella sp. from Neotropical bats. In addition, we report, for the first time, a case of co-infestation of chewing lice of the species Austromenopon echinatum (Piaget) and Halipeurus abnormis Edwards, found the carcass of Calonectris borealis studied. Our findings corroborate recent studies that demonstrated that bartonellae are no longer restricted to mammals and their ectoparasites.

两种食螨（双翅目：无翅目：无翅目：褐翅目）寄生于北方绿茧蜂（Cory, 1881）体内巴尔通体的首次分子检测

腹虫科是腹虫目中种类最丰富的一个科，共有13属，约90种海鸟。在大西洋中，有三个种类代表了Calonectris属。巴尔通体是一种全球分布的细菌，主要影响哺乳动物，通过食血节肢动物媒介传播。最近的研究已经在鸟类和海龟等非哺乳动物中发现了巴尔通体，这促使本研究探索嚼虱在其传播中的潜在作用。在这里，我们报告了两种不同的巴尔通体基因型：一种显示与伯克氏巴尔通体遗传亲缘关系，另一种显示与新热带蝙蝠的巴尔通体遗传亲缘关系。此外，我们还首次报道了一种咀嚼虱（austromenon echinatum, Piaget）和Halipeurus abnormis Edwards共同侵染的案例，并在研究的Calonectris borealis的尸体中发现。我们的发现证实了最近的研究表明巴尔通体不再局限于哺乳动物及其体外寄生虫。

期刊介绍： Veterinary Parasitology: Regional Studies and Reports focuses on aspects of veterinary parasitology that are of regional concern, which is especially important in this era of climate change and the rapid and often unconstrained travel of people and animals. Relative to regions, this journal will accept papers of the highest quality dealing with all aspects of disease prevention, pathology, treatment, epidemiology, and control of parasites within the field of veterinary medicine. Also, case reports will be considered as they add to information related to local disease and its control; such papers must be concise and represent appropriate medical intervention. Papers on veterinary parasitology from wildlife species are acceptable, but only if they relate to the practice of veterinary medicine. Studies on vector-borne bacterial and viral agents are suitable, but only if the paper deals with vector transmission of these organisms to domesticated animals. Studies dealing with parasite control by means of natural products, both in vivo and in vitro, are more suited for one of the many journals that now specialize in papers of this type. However, due to the regional nature of much of this research, submissions may be considered based upon a case being made by the author(s) to the Editor. Circumstances relating to animal experimentation must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (obtainable from: Executive Secretary C.I.O.M.S., c/o W.H.O., Via Appia, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland).
