Resumen
Las aves son parasitadas por una comunidad diversa de artrópodos, que pueden ser la causa principal de morbilidad y mortalidad en pichones y adultos. En este trabajo se brinda información sobre métodos para obtener insectos parásitos, distinguiendo métodos sobre el ave (para parásitos permanentes) y de búsqueda en el nido (para parásitos temporarios). Se ofrecen comentarios sobre algunos de los grupos más importantes de insectos parásitos de loros que se distribuyen en Argentina: piojos masticadores (Phthiraptera), pulgas (Siphonaptera), chinches y vinchucas (Hemiptera) y moscas (Diptera). Finalmente, la relación entre comportamiento y parasitismo se ejemplifica con actividades de las aves que favorecen la transmisión y actividades que disminuyen la incidencia de insectos parásitos. Se destaca la importancia que tiene la relación hospedador/parásito en hábitats fragmentados para la conservación de especies amenazadas de extinción.
