TRYPANOSOMATIDS DETECTED IN THE INVASIVE AVIAN PARASITE PHILORNIS DOWNSI (DIPTERA: MUSCIDAE) IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

Trypanosomatids Detected in the Invasive Avian Parasite Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) in the Galapagos Islands

Alien insect species may present a multifaceted threat to ecosystems into which they are introduced.In addition to the direct damage they may cause, they may also bring novel diseases and parasites and/or have the capacity to vector microorganisms that are already established in the ecosystem and are causing harm.Damage caused by ectoparasitic larv
