Morphological and molecular identification of helminths of the greater bulldog bat Noctilio leporinus (Quiroptera: Noctilionidae) from Campeche, Mexico.

Surveys on parasites of bats from the Americas have been conducted, but information on helminths is still scarce, especially in the Neotropical region. In Mexico, there are species of bats that lack of a record for helminth species, such as members of the family Noctilionidae. The present study describes for the first time the helminths of Noctilio leporinus in Campeche, Mexico.
