Reports of culicid mosquitoes in the diet of bats are scarce, especially in tropical areas where diseases in which mosquitoes are vectors proliferate. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of culicids in the diet of neotropical arthropodophagous bats using high-throughput sequencing. We specifically aimed to assess bats as biological control agents and determine the presence of culicid mosquitoes in their diet using two sets of COI primers. We assess the presence of culicid mosquitoes in the feces of bats belonging to different families, environments, and foraging strata in several neotropical regions. We compare richness, percentage of reads, and incidence of genera of Culicidae identified with each primers&#8217; set. Seventeen of the 19 bat species studied show consumption of culicids. The two primers&#8217; sets yielded dissimilar results regarding several reads and culicid species and/or genera taxonomic levels. Our findings indicate that bats from different families and foraging habits are biological control agents consuming different species of mosquitoes associated with diseases affecting the health of humans.]]></p></abstract>

Los registros de mosquitos culícidos en la dieta de murciélagos son escasos, especialmente en áreas neotropicales donde proliferan enfermedades de las que los mosquitos son vectores. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la presencia de culícidos en la dieta de murciélagos artropodófagos neotropicales utilizando secuenciación de alto rendimiento. Nuestro objetivo específico fue evaluar a los murciélagos como agentes de control biológico y determinar la presencia de mosquitos culícidos en su dieta utilizando dos conjuntos de cebadores para el gen COI. Se evaluó la presencia de mosquitos culícidos en las heces de murciélagos pertenecientes a diferentes familias, ambientes y estratos de alimentación de varias regiones neotropicales. Se comparó la riqueza, el porcentaje de lecturas y la incidencia de géneros de Culicidae identificados con cada conjunto de cebadores. Diecisiete de las 19 especies de murciélagos estudiadas presentaron consumo de culícidos. Los dos conjuntos de cebadores arrojaron resultados disímiles en relación con varias lecturas y en niveles taxonómicos de especies y/o géneros de culícidos. Nuestros hallazgos indican que los murciélagos de diferentes familias y hábitos de alimentación son agentes de control biológico que consumen diferentes especies de mosquitos asociados con enfermedades que afectan la salud de los humanos.]]></p></abstract>
