Abstract
A total of 114 quails (Callipepla californica) were collected and the following ectoparasites were isolated in Ñuble Province (Chile , between November 1994 and April 1995 (prevalence in %): Epicolinus elipticus (28.1%), Zlotozyckella stefani (60.5%), Megninia glynglimura (100%), Pseudolichus sp. (43.0%), Amblyomma sp. (13.2%) and a mite from the Trombiculidae family (11.4%).
