Abstract
Abstract. Lesions of the pinnae of captive bats are common, but there are few reports for free-living bats. In those reports, causal agents of the lesions were attributed to mites, fungus, or a combination of factors, but specific information regarding pinna lesions is generally lacking. This is the first report in Mexico of pinna lesions, associated mites, and histopathological findings for 2 species of free-living bats: the Jamaican fruit-eating bat (Artibeus jamaicensis) and the Honduran yellow-shouldered bat (Sturnira hondurensis). Resumen. Reportes de lesiones en las pinas de murciélagos en cautiverio son comunes, pero hay pocos para murciélagos de vida libre. Aunque se han atribuido a agentes causales como ácaros, hongos o una combinación de factores, información específica sobre las causas que afectan las pinas es escasa. Este es el primer reporte en México de lesiones en pinas, ácaros asociados y hallazgos histopatológicos, para el murciélago frugívoro de Jamaica (Artibeus jamaicensis) y el murciélago de hombros amarillos de Honduras (Sturnira hondurensis) en vida libre.
