Abstract
HERRERA, Jorge M. and BERMUDEZ, Sergio E.. Myiasis by Philornis spp. (Diptera: Muscidae) in Dendroica castanea (Aves: Parulidae) in Panama. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2012, vol.83, n.3, pp.854-855. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.25650.
We report the parasitism of an unidentified species of Philornis, extracted from a juvenile Dendroica castanea that was collected from Pipeline Road of the Soberania National Park of Panama. This finding is unusual since Philornis spp. parasitizes nested chicks. On the other hand, this is the first time that this parasite is reported in D. castanea.
Keywords : myiasis; Panama; Dendroica castanea; Philornis.
