From 2012 to 2021, bird surveys were carried out from Kyushu to Hokkaido, Japan, including a zoo, to find feather mites (Analgoidea Trouessart & Mégnin, 1884 and Pterolichoidea Gaud & Atyeo, 1978) from raptors including owls. In this study, we detected eight feather mite species as following: Glaucalges tytonis Dabert, Ehrnsberger & Dabert, 2008, Hieracolichus nisi (Canestrini, 1878), Kramerella bubonis (Lönnfors, 1937), Kramerella aprotuberantia Dubinin, 1953, Dermonoton longiventer (Mégnin & Trouessart, 1884), Petitota aluconis (Buchholz, 1869), Pseudalloptinus aquilinus (Trouessart, 1884) and Pseudalloptinus milvulinus (Trouessart, 1884).Two of the mite species, G. tytonis and Ps. aquilinus, were only sampled from bird hosts born in the zoo of Japan but they probably originated from oversea. The five of the eight species, Hi. nisi, K. bubonis, K. aprotuberantia, D. longiventer and Pe. aluconis were first reported in Japan. Among them, Hi. nisi was detected only from endangered bird host species Aquila chrysaetos (Linnaeus, 1758)(EN: Endangered). For the mite species, it is important to examine the status of their populations to consider the extinction risk in Japan, because they may be threatened with extinction simultaneously with the decline of the host populations in the future. Three species of mites, G. tytonis, D. longiventer, Hi. nisi were first reported from the hosts Bubo bubo (Linnaeus, 1758), Strix uralensis Pallas, 1771, Haliaeetus albicilla (Linnaeus, 1758), respectively. The Ps. milvulinus was also the first reported from the hosts Buteo japonicus Temminck & Schlegel, 1844 and A. chrysaetos.

The dicrocoeliid trematode Lutztrema attenuatum (Dujardin, 1845) has been reported from its definitive hosts, passerine birds worldwide, whereas its larvae have never been detected in natural fields. In this study, 41 adults of Lu. attenuatum were obtained from dead specimens of Turdus pallidus Gmelin, 1789 and T. eunomus Temminck, 1831, and the partial sequence of the mitochondrial COI gene and nuclear 28S rDNA were determined from one of the specimens as DNA barcodes. Furthermore, during a land snail survey in Tokyo, Japan on 11 August 2021, dicrocoeliid sporocysts and cercariae were detected from the achatinid Allopeas satsumense (Pilsbry, 1906). The partial COI sequence of the sporocysts showed a p-distance value of less than 1.4% to that of the adult Lu. attenuatum. The sporocyst was identified molecularly as Lu. attenuatum based on an empirical intraspecific genetic variation in dicrocoeliids, and thus A. satsumense found to be its first intermediate host. We also provided DNA barcodes to an adult specimen of Lyperosomum sp. (Dicrocoeliidae) detected from the same dead specimen of T. pallidus.
