POCCO M. Guadalupe FONTANA Irene UREÑA Malena ECHEVERRÍA Carlos E. LANGE Santiago PLISCHUK Biología Acari parasite bombus terrestris neotropical fauna allochthonous species Locustacarus buchneri (Stammer) is a tracheal mite that parasitizes various Bombus Latreille species worldwide, causing weakening effects that tend to intensify under crowded conditions. This contribution reports new records of the mite in Argentina, including the first detection in the non-native host Bombus terrestris L. and its presence in new localities in the provinces of Río Negro and La Pampa. From 2014 to 2019, 1,703 adult bumble bees of four species were examined by dissection. Nine individuals were parasitized: six B. terrestris and three Bombus bellicosus Smith. Prevalence was low across all cases, comparable to previous reports, but contrasted sharply with the much higher rates documented in Chile. We discuss the likely introduction of the mite into Argentina via B. terrestris from Chile and the potential risks of parasite spillover to native species. These records update the known distribution of L. buchneri in the Neotropical and Andean regions and emphasize the need for haplotype-based studies of the isolated individuals to gain a better understanding of the parasite–host dynamics in Bombus spp. 2025 artículo científico 1851-7471 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=322083084016 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322083084016/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322083084016/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322083084016/322083084016.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322083084016/movil 10.25085/rsea.840414 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3220 Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina application/pdf Sociedad Entomológica Argentina Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina (Argentina) Num.4 Vol.84 |
