Parasites of firebugs in Austria with focus on the “micro”-diversity of the cosmopolitan trypanosomatid Leptomonas pyrrhocoris
2024
Overview
In this work, we investigated parasites of the firebug
Pyrrhocoris apterus
in Austria and demonstrated that in addition to the extensively studied
Leptomonas pyrrhocoris
, it can also be infected by
Blastocrithidia
sp. and by a mermithid, which for the first time has been characterized using molecular methods. This diversity can be explained by the gregarious lifestyle, as well as the coprophagous and cannibalistic behavior of the insect hosts that makes them susceptible to various parasites. In addition, we showed no tight association of the
L
.
pyrrhocoris
haplotypes and geographical locations (at least, considering the relatively small scale of locations in Austria) implying that the natural populations of
L
.
pyrrhocoris
are mixed due to the mobility of their firebug hosts.
