            <p>Discussion</p>
            <p> The bat species from which parasites were collected for this study belong to extremely widespread genera and are themselves relatively widespread within Africa.  Rhinolophus landeri is one of the most widespread African  Rhinolophus species (Brown &amp; Dunlop 1997).  Myotis bocagei has a scattered but wide distribution range from Yemen to Angola and Liberia (Patterson et al. 2019).  Mops pumilus and  M. midas inhabit most of sub-Saharan Africa and also Madagascar (Bouchard 1998; Dunlop 1999).  Miniopterus arenarius has a quite limited range, covering the southern Arabian Peninsula and northern East Africa (Wilson &amp; Mittermeyer 2019), but it appears to be part of a complex of forms related to  M. natalensis (Naidoo et al. 2016) that is distributed across much of Africa. The parasites associated with these bat species, and the pathogens they carry, may circulate widely across the African continent. It is worth adding that both  Mops species are known to inhabit human buildings (Dunlop 1999; Jackson et al. 2023), increasing the medical relevance of studying their ectoparasites. Bats and their ectoparasites carry pathogens with the potential to infest humans in the Palaearctic Region (Sándor et al. 2024) and in China (Han et al. 2021), and we expect the same to be true in other areas. </p>
            <p>The ranges of the collected gamasid ectoparasites within Africa almost coincide with the ranges of their host species, while the ixodid and argasid ticks are distributed much more widely. We have sampled only a small proportion of the bat species that occur in Ethiopia, but even this limited collection provided a substantial increase in the number of ticks and mites, and added some new host records. We anticipate that the number of ectoparasite species will increase quickly when a more extensive survey is conducted.</p>
