Resumen
BERMUDEZ C., Sergio E. et al. Parasitism of Cuterebra sp. (Diptera: Oestridae s.l.) on rodents of Central Panama. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2010, vol.81, n.1, pp.57-60. ISSN 2007-8706.
In this study, which we carried out between January 2007 and July 2008 on populations of 3 species of wild mammals in Tonosí, Los Santos province, Panama, we report the presence of larvae of Cuterebra sp. parasitizing Zygodontomys brevicauda, Liomys adspersus, and Oligoryzomys fulvescens; the prevalence values recorded in these rodent species were 1.77, 2.15, and 1.17, respectively. This is the first record of Cuterebra sp. as parasite of rodents in Panama, and L. adspersus represents a new host record.
