| Abstract | The analyses of the ectoparasite species associated with a small mammal community on Ilha Grande, a coastal
island in southern of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, evaluated the level of host-ectoparasite specificity. Was used
the Jaccard index for qualitative data to analyse the similarity. The lowest value of similarity occurred between
Proechimys iheringi and Marmosops incanus and between Sciurus aestuans and Nectomys squamipes (Cj
= 0.08)
and the highest between P. iheringi and Oxymycterus sp. (Cj
= 0.33). This index showed a low value of similarity
across the ectoparasite community. The only exception from this pattern of high host specificity occurred with P.
iheringi and Oxymycterus sp., which shared five species of ectoparasites. The similarity values, for most of the cases,
is smaller than 0.2. | pt_BR |
