Abstract and Figures

Bat flies are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of bats. They are divided into two families: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae. Europe has 17 species of bat flies and 45 species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera). This checklist is based on both published records and our own field data and provides updated information on all associations between bat flies and their hosts in Europe. The host-parasite association between Basilia italica Theodor and Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus) is reported for the first time. Moreover, our records of B. italica on Myotis alcathoe Helversen & Heller, B. nana Theodor & Moscona on Plecotus auritus, Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor & Moscona on M. bechsteinii (Kuhl) and Penicillidia dufourii (Westwood) on M. daubentonii (Kuhl) represent new host associations for Hungary.

Abstract
Bat flies are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of bats. They are divided into two families: Nycteribiidae and Streblidae.
Europe has 17 species of bat flies and 45 species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera). This checklist is based on both published
records and our own field data and provides updated information on all associations between bat flies and their hosts in
Europe. The host-parasite association between Basilia italica Theodor and Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus) is reported for the
first time. Moreover, our records of B. italica on Myotis alcathoe Helversen & Heller, B. nana Theodor & Moscona on
Plecotus auritus, Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor & Moscona on M. bechsteinii (Kuhl) and Penicillidia dufourii (Westwood)
on M. daubentonii (Kuhl) represent new host associations for Hungary.

Introduction
Bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) possess a diverse ectoparasitic fauna including Diptera, Heteroptera, Siphonaptera
and Acari (e.g., Hutson 1972; Marshall 1982). Dipteran parasites are represented by two families: Nycteribiidae
and Streblidae. To the best of our knowledge, 16 nycteribiids and one streblid have been reported for Europe (Pape
et al. 2015).
Nycteribiids and streblids are obligate blood-sucking ectoparasites of bats, and they belong together with
Glossinidae (tsetse) and Hippoboscidae (louse flies) to the calyptrate superfamily Hippoboscoidea. Louse flies and
bat flies form the Pupipara, the species of which reproduce by obligate pseudo-placental unilarviparity (Meier et al.
1999). The female deposits a mature third instar larva (usually on the wall of the host roost), which immediately
begins to pupate (Hill 1963). Nycteribiids have their wings totally reduced, while most streblids have fully
developed wings at least during a certain part of their adult life. Bat flies do not leave their hosts except for the
laying of larvae (both families) or when their hosts are disturbed (only streblids). There are three subfamilies within
the family Nycteribiidae: Archinycteribiinae, Cyclopodiinae and Nycteribiinae (Maa 1965). The family Streblidae
is divided into five subfamilies: the Old World Nycteriboscinae and Ascodipterinae and the New World
Trichobiinae, Nycterophiliinae and Streblinae (Dick & Patterson 2006). The only European streblid species is
Brachytarsina flavipennis Macquart of the Nycteriboscinae subfamily (as Brachytarsininae in Dittmar et al. 2006;
Vasconcelos et al. 2015).
The number of European bat fly species is probably underestimated and is likely to increase as a result of more
research (Pape et al. 2015). This is expected especially on the least known and rare hosts such as, e.g., Nyctalus
azoreum (Thomas), N. lasiopterus (Schreber) and Pipistrellus maderensis (Dobson) (all Chiroptera:

Vespertilionidae). No recent review of known host associations of bat flies is available, the latest dating back to the
1960s (e.g., Hůrka 1964; Theodor 1967). Our study aims to fill this gap by providing a review of the existing
literature, complemented with unpublished data from fieldwork in Hungary. Moreover, since bat flies could be
vectors of several zoonotic agents such as Polychromophilus Dionisi (Haemosporida: Plasmodiidae) (Gardner &
Molyneux 1988) or BartonellaStrong et al. (Rhizobiales: Bartonellaceae) species (Morse et al. 2012), we urge that
future studies address the ecology and disease transmitting potential of these flies.
Material and methods
We collected literature data from the area of European territory defined by Pape et al. (2015) as “the western
Palaearctic, including the European mainland, Great Britain, the Macaronesian islands, Cyprus, Faroe Islands,
Iceland, Svalbard, Franz Josef Land and Novaya Zemlya, but excluding Turkey, the Caucasus, western
Kazakhstan, the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa” (Fig. 1), and supplemented this with data obtained from our
own fieldwork in Hungary (Fig. 2). Forty-five (45) bat species are reported from Europe (UNEP/Eurobats 2015).
Distributions of bat flies are given based on the Catalogue of Palaearctic Diptera ( Hůrka & Soós 1986a, 1986b), as
well as on more recent works (Tab. 1). Our review lists only bat fly species recorded from Europe, but a few extra-
limital records have been included (indicated in square brackets) for species associated with hosts occurring also in
Europe. In most cases, bat flies have numerous documented occurrences on different bat species, but usually they
have one or two main hosts: we indicated the main host-bat fly associations by putting the names in bold (Tabs 1–
2). We determined host specificity based on the frequency of host use by bat flies. Our own material was collected
in Hungary in 19981999 and 20122014 (Fig. 2), with full collecting data provided in Table 1. Bats were caught
using mist nets deployed at drinking, foraging or swarming sites. The flies were collected from the bats using
forceps and stored in 70% ethanol. Bat flies were identified using the works of Theodor & Moscona (1954) and
Theodor (1967), whereas their classification and nomenclature follow Hůrka & Soós (1986a, 1986b). For bat
classification, we followed Dietz & Von Helversen (2004). The collected bat fly specimens are deposited at
Eszterházy Károly College (Eger, Hungary). The map in Figure 1 was created with QGIS 2.8.2-Wien.
Results and discussion
All host-parasite associations are presented in Tables 1–2, and the collecting sites surveyed in 19981999 and
20122014 are summarized in Figure 2.
Many bat species have no records of associated bat flies, generally because the parasitology of the host has
been poorly studied (e.g., Eptesicus bottae (Peters),Myotis escalerai Cabrera, Plecotus kolombatovici Dulic [all
Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae]). During our survey we recorded 24 host associations of bat flies in Hungary,
including that of Basilia italica Theodor (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) on Plecotus auritus (Linnaeus) (Chiroptera:
Vespertilionidae), an association here reported for the first time.
We also provide the second documented cases for Basilia italica on Barbastella barbastellus (Schreber)
(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and B. italica on Myotis alcathoe Helversen & Heller (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae)
(Czuppon & Molnár 2001; Danko et al. 2010) and the third case for Basilia nattereri (Kolenati) (Diptera:
Nycteribiidae) on Myotis bechsteinii (Kuhl) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) (Dudich 1925; Soós 1955).
In addition, our records of Basilia italica on Myotis alcathoe, B. nana Theodor & Moscona (Diptera:
Nycteribiidae) on Plecotus auritus, Nycteribia kolenatii Theodor & Moscona (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) on M.
bechsteinii and Penicillidia dufourii (Westwood) (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) on M. daubentonii (Kuhl) (Chiroptera:
Vespertilionidae) represent new host associations for Hungary.
We consider Falcoz’s (1926) records of Nycteribia pedicularia Latreille (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) as doubtful
since this species was not well defined and poorly distinguished from N. latreillii (Leach) and N. kolenatii at that
time (Theodor & Moscona 1954). We also indicate some additional early records as doubtful because of the
unclarified taxonomic status of the hosts (e.g., “Vespertilio murinus” in Westwood [1835] and Kolenati [1857]).
Likewise, Dudich’s (1925) records of Basilia nattereri are considered doubtful, as B. nana and B. nattereri were
first distinguished by Theodor (1954).

... Basilia mediterranea Hůrka, 1970 has a Western Mediterranean distribution extending to central Europe. The primary hosts of this bat fly species are bats of the genus Pipistrellus; however, it is occasionally found on other bat genera, e.g., Eptesicus, Hypsugo and Plecotus [87]. In the Maghreb region, records of this fly were reported from Pipistrellus hanaki, in Libya (Table 1). ...
... It was found to infest mostly M. capaccinii, and also on six other host species. Throughout its range it is the typical ectoparasite of M. capaccinii [87]; however, it was found on several other hosts, too [88]. It is a relatively common nycteribiid, with a southerly distribution, mainly in the Balkans, Apennines, and Iberian Peninsula, with scattered records in Central Europe [88]. ...
... It is an ectoparasites of the two largest Myotis in Europe (M. blythii and M. myotis), and it is frequently collected from other cave dwelling species present together with its primary hosts [87]. The same host preference was observed in the Maghreb region, where M. punicus serves as the main host (Table1). ...

Background: Arthropods parasites of bats play a crucial role in both ecological and public health contexts, as they have the potential to transmit zoonotic agents. The study aims to identify the distribution, and host-parasite associations of bat ectoparasites in the Grand Maghreb region (Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia), which has been largely understudied. Methods: A thorough analysis of published records was conducted and we included our own field data. Results: The checklist reveals a total of 43 ectoparasite species, encompassing a range of taxa. The list comprises 9 tick species, 11 mite species (including a chigger-mite), 11 bat fly species, 3 species of bugs, and 9 species of fleas. Extensive research efforts uncovered 141 host-parasite associations. Our data presents several new country records, documenting for the first time the presence of Carios vespertilionis and Raymondia huberi in Tunisia, Ixodes simplex and Spinturnix plecotinus in Algeria. Conclusion: By compiling and analysing available information, we have provided for the first time an up-to-date checklist of bat ectoparasites and their host associations in the region. This knowledge contributes to a better understanding of the epidemiological implications associated with bat ectoparasites, emphasizing their ecological and public health importance. The study's findings call for continued investigations and monitoring of bat ectoparasites to mitigate potential risks and safeguard both human and animal populations.

... In contrast to most previous assumptions regarding the host specificity of bat flies 15 , we found fairly high degrees of bat fly parasitism on non-primary hosts, especially in the season with high abundance of parasites (boreal autumn). Our results only partially proved the findings of previous studies 5, 8 extending the list of primary hosts for several bat fly species, like Ph. biarticulatum, for which all previously listed primary hosts (R. ferrumequinum and R. hipposideros) were found to be less parasitized than non-primary hosts (R. blasii and R. euryale). ...
... While these results are in concordance with previous studies in the region 8-10 , in our study Ph. biarticulatum formed a third category alone, with 88.5% of the flies collected from hosts assumed to be of non-primary-type by the literature 5,8 . This surprising finding is most probably due to the lack of detailed data from this species in the South-East European region, where the supposedly non-primary hosts (R. euryale, R. mehelyi and R. blasii) are most abundant. ...

Bat flies are one of the most abundant ectoparasites of bats, showing remarkable morphological adaptations to the parasitic habit, while the relationship with their hosts is characterized by a high level of specificity. By collecting bat flies from live hosts, our intention was to elucidate the seasonal differences in bat fly occurrence and to describe factors regulating the level of incipient host specificity. Our results indicate that the prevalence and the intensity of infestation is increasing from spring to autumn for most host species, with significant differences among different fly species. Males showed higher infestation levels than females in autumn, suggesting a non-random host choice by flies, targeting the most active host sex. Bat-bat fly host specificity shows seasonal changes and host choice of bat flies are affected by the seasonal differences in hosts’ behavior and ecology, the intensity of infestation and the species composition of the local host community. Nycteribiid bat flies showed lower host specificity in the swarming (boreal autumn) period, with higher prevalence recorded on non-primary hosts. Choosing a non-primary bat host may be an adaptive choice for bat flies in the host’s mating period, thus increasing their dispersive ability in a high activity phase of their hosts.
... Bat ies show a remarkable level of adaptation in morphology and behavior in accordance to their parasitic lifestyle to counteract the defense strategies of bats. There are around 570 bat y species worldwide from which 17 are present in Europe, with 10 species reported until now both from Romania, as well Bulgaria [9][10][11] . ...

This surprising nding is most probably due to the lack of detailed data from this species in the South-East European region, where the supposedly secondary hosts (R. euryale, R. mehelyi and R. blasii) are most abundant. ...

The two most commonly reported and well investigated parasites of Bechstein's bats are the wing mite (Acarina: Mesostigmata: Spinturnicidae) Spinturnix bechsteini and the bat fly (Diptera: Nycteribiidae) Basilia nana. Bechstein's bat is considered the primary host for both species and both are found nearly throughout the entire host range (for B. nana summarized in Szentivanyi et al. 2016). ...

The potential biotechnological uses of bat-associated bacteria are discussed briefly, indicating avenues for biotechnological applications of bat-associated microbes. The uniqueness of bats in terms of their lifestyle, genomes and molecular immunology may predispose bats to act as disease reservoirs. Molecular phylogenetic analysis has shown several instances of bats harbouring the ancestral lineages of bacterial (Bartonella), protozoal (Plasmodium, Trypanosoma cruzi) and viral (SARS-CoV2) pathogens infecting humans. Along with the transmission of viruses from bats, we also discuss the potential roles of bat-associated bacteria, fungi, and protozoan parasites in emerging diseases. Current evidence suggests that environmental changes and interactions between wildlife, livestock, and humans contribute to the spill-over of infectious agents from bats to other hosts. Domestic animals including livestock may act as intermediate amplifying hosts for bat-origin pathogens to transmit to humans. An increasing number of studies investigating bat pathogen diversity and infection dynamics have been published. However, whether or how these infectious agents are transmitted both within bat populations and to other hosts, including humans, often remains unknown. Metagenomic approaches are uncovering the dynamics and distribution of potential pathogens in bat microbiomes, which might improve the understanding of disease emergence and transmission. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on bat zoonoses of public health concern and flag the gaps in the knowledge to enable further research and allocation of resources for tackling future outbreaks.

The present study provides a review of the published ectoparasitic species of European bats. On the basis of own researches in Germany, the abundance of each parasite was analysed. For every bat species the community of the dominant parasites and the quality of the host-parasite relation were summarized. Part 2 is concerned with the ectoparasites of the Greater mouse-eared bat (Myotis myotis), of the Lesser mouse-eared bat (Myotis blythii), of the Long-fingered bat (Myotis capaccinii), of the Whiskered bat (Myotis mystacinus), and of the Natterer`s bat (Myotis nattereri).

Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert eine Zusammenstellung der bisher bekannten Ektoparasitenarten europaeischer Fledermausarten. Auf der Basis eigener Untersuchungen in Deutschland erfolgt eine Analyse der Abundanz der Parasiten. Fuer jede Wirtsart wird das Artenspektrum der haeufig vorkommenden Ektoparasiten angegeben und die Spezifitaet der Wirt- Parasit-Beziehung diskutiert. Teil 1 behandelt die Ektoparasiten der Mopsfledermaus (Barbastella barbastellus), der Nordfledermaus (Eptesicus nilssonii), der Breitfluegelfledermaus (Eptesicus serotinus), der Bechsteinfledermaus (Myotis bechsteinii),der Grossen Bartfledermaus (Myotis brandtii), der Teichfledermaus (Myotis dasycneme) und der Wasserfledermaus (Myotis daubentonii).

Waehrend der herbstlichen Schwaermpase wurden im Norden Bulgariens die Ektoparasiten von neun Fledermausarten untersucht. Die hoechsten Abundanzen erreichten Fledermausfliegen, von denen 6 verschiedene Arten determiniert wurden. In geringeren Dichten besiedelten auch Flughautmilben (6 Arten) sowie Macronyssidae und Ixodidae (jeweils eine Art) die Fledermaeuse. Die Bindung an den Wirt und die Verbreitung aller Ektoparasiten sind kurz zusammengefasst. Fuer die Berechnung der Parasitenlast wird ein neues Modell vorgeschlagen, dass unter Beruecksichtigung von Groessenrealtionen und Abundanzen vergleichbare Daten bei unterschiedlichen Befallsszenarien ermoeglicht. Parasitenkombinationen traten im Norden Bulgariens seltener auf, als erwartet. Mit den Werten der haeufigsten Fledermausarten wurde ueberprueft, ob es einen Zusammenhang zwischen Masse, Unterarmlaenge und Parasitierung gibt. In keinem Fall konnte eine sichere Korrelation zwischen diesen Faktoren ermittelt werden. Unter Verwendung eines adaptierten Body-Mass-Index (BMI) oder eines Body- Condition-Index (BCI) ergab sich ebenfalls kein Zusammenhang zwischen der Koerperkondition und der Parasitenlast. Im Verlaufe der Untersuchung kam es in einer Hoehle zu einer unerwarteten Zunahme der Abundanzen von Flughautmilben. Dieses Phaenomen koennte ein interessanter Ansatz weiterer Studien sein. Im Vergleich zu herbstlichen Untersuchungen in Deutschland waren die Fledermaeuse im Norden Bulgariens deutlich staerker parasitiert.

Bei einer aktuellen Studie am Iberg in Bad Grund konnten im September 2010 acht Fledermausarten parasitologisch untersucht werden. Die Faenge ergaben Nachweise von 11 Ektoparasitenarten (Fledermausfliegen, Floehe, Flughaut- und Ohrmilben), wobei einige davon Erstfunde fuer Niedersachsen sind. Aus den Fundangaben wurden Parasitenspektren fuer die einzelnen Wirtsarten erstellt und durch weitere unveroeffentlichte Meldungen ergaenzt. Fuer den Vergleich von Ektoparasitenspektren verschiedener Wirtsarten erfolgte die Einfuehrung einer Formel, die die Berechnung einer allgemeinen "Parasitenlast" ermoeglicht. Die Betrachtung der Verteilung von Ektoparasiten auf Individuen zeigte eine starke Trennung verschiedener Parasitengruppen, ein synchrones Vorkommen wurde nur selten registriert. Moeglicherweise ist die Konkurrenz zwischen Ektoparasitenarten ein bisher unterschaetzter determinierender Faktor fuer die Praesenz auf einem Wirt.

Bei der Untersuchung von Ektoparasiten in verschiedenen Winterqartieren von Fledermäusen im Nordosten Brandenburgs wurde das Artenspektrum an Flöhen, Lausfliegen und Milben erfasst. Die häufigsten Parasiten waren die sogenannten "Winterflöhe", die mit drei Arten (Nycteridopsylla eusarca, N. longiceps und N. pentactena) präsent waren. Bei der Anzahl dieser Flöhe in den Winterquartieren wurden extreme Unterschiede festgestellt. In einzelnen Quartieren kann es zu einem relativ hohen Besatz an Flöhen kommen. Solche Populationszentren könnten für das regionale Überleben der seltenen Ektoparasitenarten eine große Rolle spielen. In diesen Quartieren werden neben den Hauptwirten auch andere überwinternde Fledermausarten als Blutspender genutzt. An den Wasserfledermäusen gab es regelmäßig Funde der Fledermausfliege Nycteribia kolenatii. Im Gegensatz zu den Flöhen und dieser Fledermausfliegenart traten die meisten anderen Parasiten nur sporadisch auf. Bei der Untersuchung wurden drei für Brandenburg neue Ektoparasitenarten festgestellt. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Fledermausfliege: Basilia nana sowie um zwei kleine Milbenarten der Familie Macronyssidae: Macronyssus cyclaspis und Macronyssus ellipticus.

Die vorliegende Untersuchung von Fledermaeusen in Sommer- und Winterquartieren liefert neue daten zur Verbreitung und Haeufigkeit von Ektoparasiten aus Brandenburg und anderen Bundeslaendern. An 11 Fledermausarten wurden insgesamt 7 Floharten (Ischnosyllidae), zwei Lausfliegenarten (Nycteribiidae) und zwei Wanzenarten (Cimicidae) nachgewiesen. Die Floharten Ischnopsyllus intermedius und die Artengruppe I. simplex/mysticus ergaenzen die Liste der aktuellen Funde fuer Brandenburg. Nach dem milden Winter 2006-7 wurden in einigen Winterquartieren Veraenderungen im Artenspektrum der Parasiten festgestellt. Nycteribia kolenatii an Myotis daubentoni und Nycteribia eusarca an Nyctalus noctula traten bei der vorliegenden Untersuchung relativ haeufig auf. Die anderen ektoparasitischen Floehe und Lausfliegen waren sehr selten zu finden. Die meisten Parasitenarten und die hoechste Befallsintensitaet wies die Wasserfledermaus (Myotis daubentoni) auf.

Investigation of the ectoparasitic fauna (Siphonaptera: Ischnopsyllidae; Diptera: Nycteribiidae; Heteroptera: Cimicidae) on bats in Brandenburg, Germany (part 2). The current investigation of bats in summer and winter quarters took place in addition to the study of Scheffler and Ressler (2005) and supplied new data for spreading and host spectrum of fleas and bat flies. With Penicillidia monoceros Speiser, 1900 on Myotis daubentoni a species of bat fly was found, which was not known in brandenburg (Germany) before. The proof of the flea species Nycteridopsylla longiceps Rothschild, 1908 at Pipistrellus pipistrellus is only the third detection in Brandenburg after 1911 and 1964. With Barbastella barbastellus the spectrum of examinated bats was extended. This species was parasitized by two flea species. On four species of bats also bugs (Heteroptera: Cimicidae)could be caught in summer quarters, which belong to the species Cimex dissimilis (Horvat, 1910). The causes of varying parasitizing rates with different species of fleas and bat flies are discussed.
