SANCHEZ, Juliana P e GUROVICH, Yamila. Fleas (Insecta: Siphonaptera) associated to the endangered neotropical marsupial monito del monte (Dromiciops gliroides Microbiotheria: Microbiotheriidae) in its southernmost population of Argentina. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.1, pp.257-262. ISSN 0327-9383.
Dromiciops gliroides is a nocturnal marsupial endemic to the temperate forests of southern South America and the only living representative of the Order Microbiotheria. Here we study the Siphonapteran fauna of the “monito del monte” from Los Alerces National Park, Chubut Province. We also present the southernmost record for Argentina of the association between D. gliroides and the fleas Plocopsylla (Schrammapsylla) diana and Chiliopsylla allophyla allophyla, recording for the first time both Siphonaptera in Chubut Province. Our result extends and adds to current parasite biodiversity for Patagonia and contributes new information about the ecology of D. gliroides in southern Argentina.
