Resumen
Los murciélagos constituyen uno de los grupos de
mamíferos más beneficiosos para los ecosistemas ya que
contribuyen con la dispersión de semillas, polinización de
plantas y control de insectos plaga. En otros países se han
detectado diversos agentes infecciosos y no infecciosos en
murciélagos. El objetivo de este estudio fue detectar
Leishmania spp. y Trypanosoma spp., parásitos endémicos
en nuestro país, en murciélagos generalistas describiendo
características del huésped, factores macroambientales de
sitios de captura e identificando molecularmente los
hemoparásitos para estudiar las relaciones huésped,
agente, ambiente y posibles relaciones filogenéticas.

In other countries, various infectious agents various infectious and non-infectious agents have been detected in bats in other countries. bats. The objective of this study was to detect Leishmania spp. and Trypanosoma spp. endemic parasites in our country, in generalist bats describing host host characteristics, macroenvironmental factors of and molecular identification of the hemoparasites to study hemoparasites to study host-parasite relationships, agent, environment and possible phylogenetic relationships.
