Add to ORKGCorrelations of two species of gamasid mites ( Macronyssus pararadovskyi and M. radovskyi ) and their bat hosts ( Tylonycteris pachypus and T. robustula ) were studied by field surveys and indoor behavioral experiments. The wild data indicated that mite load was positively correlated with body condition index of female T. pachypus hosts (Spearman: rs=0.55, P<0.01, n=24). Whereas, mite loads had no correlation with body condition indexes of male T. pachypus and all T. robustula hosts (P>0.05). Indoor original host infection showed that mites preferred male T. pachypus and T. robustula hosts. The infection percentages on male hosts were significantly higher than those on female hosts [T. pachypus: male (58±12)%, female (42±12)%, (t=−3.6, ...
