Lista de ectoparásitos (ácaros y garrapatas) infestando reptiles y anfibios de Argentina.

We present a list of observations on ectoparasites of the Argentine herpetofauna reported in different publications from 1928 to 2022. A bibliographic search was carried out in electronic databases such as SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), Dialnet, and Google Scholar. In total, 30 articles published in national and international journals were included. Our list contains records for 54 hosts: 36 reptiles and 18 amphibians. The registered parasites correspond to mites from the families Trombiculidae, Pterygosomatidae, Leeuwenhoekiidae, Ereynetidae and ticks from the families Ixodidae and Argasidae. In total, 4 species of Amblyomma, 1 Ornithodoros, 7 Hannemania, 2 Eutrombicula, 2 Lawrencarus and 2 Neopterygosoma were recorded. Of the total number of reptiles mentioned for Argentina (425 species), 36 species have been registered with some type of ectoparasite, with the lizards of the Liolaemidae family presenting the highest records. The ectoparasites with the highest records in reptiles are ticks of the genus Amblyomma spp. For amphibians, out of 170 species mentioned, only 18 species have been recorded with some type of ectoparasite, with frogs from the Leptodactylidae family being the ones with the highest records. The ectoparasites with the highest records in amphibians are mites of the genus Hannemania. This work is the first compilation of ectoparasites in the Argentine herpetofauna. This compilation will help to understand the current ectoparasitic situation in reptiles and amphibians, allowing the development of new management plans for species with conservation problems.
