(43.0%), Amblyomma sp. (13.2%) and a mite from the Trombiculidae family (11.4%). The parasite prevalences presented no correlation with age (juveniles and adults), sex, and capture area (humid and arid). The ectoparasites found represent the first recorded on this host in Chile.enTrombiculidaeQuailBiologyMiteBobwhite quailZoologyEcologyGeographyLarvaarticle
