At various localities in Slovakia (Blatnica, Ruské, Necpaly, Tatranská Javorina) and Poland (Krempna) wild birds were examined for cutaneous trematode Collyriclum faba during summer periods from 1996 to 2000
The larvae of trombiculid mites were surveyed in wild birds at four localities in Slovakia and one locality in Poland from 1999 to 2000
The mites collected from Prunella modularis (Blatnica, Veterná Valley, 3 August 1999), see Plate VI, Fig. 1, and from Erithacus rubecula (Krempna, 22 August 2000) coincided with characteristics typical of the genus Neotrombicula and within the frame of intraspecific variability corresponded with Neotrombicula vernalis (Willmann 1942) of the species complex Neotrombicula autumnalis (Shaw 1790) as described by Kepka (1964ab, 1966) and Vercammen-Grandjean and Kolebinova (1985)
Summary
At various localities in Slovakia (Blatnica, Ruské, Necpaly, Tatranská Javorina) and Poland (Krempna) wild birds were examined for cutaneous trematode Collyriclum faba during summer periods from 1996 to 2000. The foci of this trematode were recently recorded in Slovakia (Literák and Sitko 1997; Literák and Honza 2000). Cutaneous trombiculid larvae were found in some examined birds in close proximity of the cloaca. Because there is relatively little data about trombiculid mites in wild birds in Central Europe (Daniel 1961; Haitlinger 1987), the aim of our work was to document and compare the prevalences of their larvae in individual species of wild birds in study areas
