Fifty-five livetrapped wild nutria (Myocastor coypus) from its indigenous region were examined for ectoparasites after capture from December 2013 to December 2014. The captures came from the Buenos Aires Province, by far the area of the country most densely populated by nutria, characterized as a temperate grassland, which are prime areas for sustained agriculture. Only one species of chewing lice (Pitrufquenia coypus, Marelli, 1932), one flea (Nosopsyllus fasciatus, Bosc, 1800) and one tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Latreille, 1806) were collected. Fourteen percent of the animals were infested and P.coypus, an obligate parasite of the nutria, which was the most prevalent ectoparasite. N. fasciatus and R. sanguineus occurrence remains controversial as they may or may not be some accidental host species. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive and systematic survey of ectoparasites in wild nutria from the southern hemisphere, the indigenous region of this species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-296120180026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,28]],"date-time":"2018-05-28T14:08:22Z","timestamp":1527516502000},"page":"254-257","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Ectoparasites from some Myocastor coypus (Molina, 1782) populations (Coypus or Nutria) in Argentina"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Pablo Eduardo","family":"Martino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de La Plata,  Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nilda Esther","family":"Radman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de La Plata,  Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda In\u00e9s","family":"Gamboa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad de La Plata,  Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis Ernesto","family":"Samartino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto Nacional de Tecnolog\u00eda Agropecuaria,  Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eduardo Joaqu\u00edn","family":"Parrado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Servicio Nacional de Seguridad Agroalimentaria,  Argentina"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Las garrapatas de la Rep\u00fablica Argentina (Acarina: Ixodoidea)","author":"Boero JJ","year":"1957"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"575","DOI":"10.2307\/3284227","article-title":"Parasitology meets ecology on its own terms: Margolis et al. revisited","volume":"83","author":"Bush AO","year":"1997","journal-title":"J Parasitol"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref3","first-page":"317","article-title":"Ectoparasitos de roedores de la Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina (Acarina, Anoplura, Mallophaga y Suctoria)","volume":"44","author":"Castro D","year":"1987","journal-title":"Rev Soc Ent Arg"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Medical and veterinary entomology","first-page":"56","volume-title":"Lice (Phthiraptera)","author":"Durden LA","year":"2002","edition":"2nd"},{"issue":"6","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1293","DOI":"10.1645\/GE-333R","article-title":"Ectoparasites and other epifaunistic arthropods of sympatric cotton mice and golden mice: comparisons and implications for vector-borne zoonotic diseases","volume":"90","author":"Durden LA","year":"2004","journal-title":"J Parasitol"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"The ecology of invasions by animals and plants","author":"Elton CS","year":"2000","edition":"2nd"},{"issue":"4","key":"ref7","first-page":"323","article-title":"Amblyomma dubitatum Neumann: description of nymph and redescription of adults, together with the description of the immature stages of A. triste Koch","volume":"42","author":"Estrada Pe\u00f1a A","year":"2002","journal-title":"Acarologia"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Wild mammals of north america: biology, management, and conservation","first-page":"1136","volume-title":"Introduced animals: Nutria: (Myocastor coypus)","author":"Feldhamer GA","year":"2003","edition":"2nd"},{"key":"ref9","series-title":"Red list of threatened species.
