Abstract

Here we report the results of our own survey and literary published data on the ectoparasite fauna and pathogens of the alien bat species, the Kuhl’s pipistrelle Pipistrellus kuhlii (Kuhl, 1817) (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae). This bat is a host of 36 species of parasitic mites, ticks and insects (including accidental findings) and 13 species of pathogens (protozoa, bacteria, viruses). The flea Ischnopsyllus variabilis is re­corded on this host for the first time. We have found that outside of the host ancestral range, the core of the bat parasite fauna is significantly different due to the loss of host species-specific ectoparasites. Particularly, in Russia, only 6 species of parasitic arthropods have been recorded for Kuhl’s pipistrelle and all of them are host genus-specific. At the same time, the features of ecology and occasional finds of extrinsic parasites allow to suggest that P. kuhlii has wide contacts with animals which are the reservoirs of zoonotic infec­tions, that in combination with the fact of isolation of several pathogens from this species (including two coronaviruses) points to a possible medical importance of Kuhl’s pipistrelle.

库尔 Pipistrelle Pipistrellus kuhlii（Kuhl，1817）（翼手目： Vespertilionidae）的体外寄生虫和病原体：我们自己和已发布的数据回顾

 抽象的

在此，我们报告了我们自己的调查结果和文献发表的有关外来蝙蝠物种 Kuhl's pipistrelle Pipistrellus kuhlii （Kuhl，1817）（翼手目： Vespertilionidae）的体外寄生虫动物群和病原体的数据。这种蝙蝠是 36 种寄生螨、蜱和昆虫（包括意外发现）和 13 种病原体（原生动物、细菌、病毒）的宿主。跳蚤Ischnopsyllus variabilis首次在该宿主上被记录。我们发现，在宿主祖先范围之外，由于宿主物种特异性外寄生虫的丧失，蝙蝠寄生虫区系的核心存在显着差异。特别是，在俄罗斯，仅记录了 6 种寄生节肢动物，而且它们都是寄主属特异性的。同时，生态学特征和偶尔发现的外来寄生虫表明， P. kuhlii与作为人畜共患感染宿主的动物有广泛的接触，再加上从该物种中分离出几种病原体的事实（包括两种冠状病毒）表明库尔氏毛菌可能具有医学重要性。
