| comparative attraction of four different fiberglass traps to various age and sex classes of stable fly (diptera: muscidae) adults. | an alsynite cylinder trap and three different williams cross-configuration traps with three adhesives were compared to determine their relative attraction to stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), adults. williams traps coated with olson sticky stuff performed as well as williams traps coated with tack trap, thus allowing fly samples collected with either adhesive to be compared. the cylinder trap captured fewer total flies, but more flies per cm2 than any of the williams traps. sex ratio of flie ... | 1990 | 2376640 |
| commercial and naturally occurring fly parasitoids (hymenoptera: pteromalidae) as biological control agents of stable flies and house flies (diptera: muscidae) on california dairies. | filth fly parasites reared by commercial insectaries were released on two dairies (mo, dg) in southern california to determine their effect on populations of house flies, musca domestica l., and stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.). spalangia endius walker, muscidifurax raptorellus kogan and legner, and muscidifurax zaraptor kogan and legner were released on the mo dairy from 1985 to 1987 in varying quantities. parasitism by muscidifurax zaraptor on the mo dairy was significantly higher (p les ... | 1990 | 2376639 |
| attempted transmission of ehrlichia risticii (rickettsiaceae) with stomoxys calcitrans (diptera: muscidae). | experimental transmission of ehrlichia risticii, the causal agent of potomac horse fever, was attempted with adult stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans, (l.) using two feeding schedules. in schedule a, a set of 140 flies was allowed to feed once on an experimentally infected donor pony and once 24 h later on a recipient pony. a different set of flies was used each day for a 12-d period. in schedule b, 240 flies were allowed to feed once daily for 12 consecutive d on the donor pony followed by five ... | 1990 | 2231623 |
| hydrolysis of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine by midgut homogenates of the stable fly. | qualitative and quantitative analyses were made to characterize the enzymatic degradation of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine by midgut homogenates of the adult stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.). the results indicated that sphingomyelin was hydrolyzed by an enzyme with sphingomyelinase-like properties, and that phosphatidylcholine was hydrolyzed by an enzyme with properties similar to phospholipase c. the optimum ph for the sphingomyelinase was 7.6, and the rate of hydrolysis of sphingom ... | 1990 | 2134166 |
| effects of host age, host density and parent age on reproduction of the filth fly parasite urolepis rufipes (hymenoptera: pteromalidae). | urolepis rufipes ashmead, a pteromalid wasp, was recently discovered parasitizing house fly and stable fly pupae in eastern nebraska dairies. studies have been conducted on the biology of this parasite to evaluate its potential as a biological control agent of stable flies (stomoxys calcitrans (l.] and house flies (musca domestica l.). house fly pupae were suitable as hosts for u.rufipes at all ages; however, significantly higher parasitism occurred on host pupae aged 96-120 h. parasite-induced ... | 1990 | 2132989 |
| [intestinal myiasis in macao]. | six cases of intestinal myiasis were diagnosed in macao from january 1987 to august 1989, during a survey of intestinal parasites in inhabitants and on stool routine examination in hospitalized patients. the species of flies identified were stomoxys calcitrans in 4 cases and megalesia (megalesia) insulana in 2 cases, m. insulana being a new record in mainland of china. during the survey of intestinal parasites 1889 human fecal samples were collected from chinese inhabitants. 45 samples were coll ... | 1990 | 2096003 |
| pinocembrine: a bioactive flavanone from teloxys graveolens. | bioactivity directed fractionation of the acetone extract of teloxys graveolens (willd.) weber (chenopodiaceae), using the brine shrimp lethality test, led to the isolation of 5,7-dihydroxyflavanone (pinocembrine) (lc50 = 4.25 micrograms/ml) as the only active compound. pinocembrine also exhibited fasciolicide, ovicide and larvicide activities on newly excysted fasciola hepatica, on infective eggs of ascaridi galli and on stage three larvae of stomoxys calcitrans, respectively. | 1991 | 2056764 |
| infectivity of serratia marcescens (eubacteriales: enterobacteriaceae) in stomoxys calcitrans (diptera: muscidae). | serratia marcescens bizio, a facultative pathogen of insects, was isolated from stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), collected from nebraska beef cattle feedlots and dairies. infection rates in laboratory-reared stable flies infected by topical exposures to the bacterium were 57 and 64% in two experiments. per os exposures to sucrose and water solutions, and bovine blood inoculated with s. marcescens, produced mortality rates of about 45 and 10%, respectively. | 1991 | 2033614 |
| developmental sites and relative abundance of immature stages of the stable fly (diptera: muscidae) in beef cattle feedlot pens in eastern nebraska. | a 3-yr study was done to determine where and at what relative frequency stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), immatures develop in beef cattle feedlot pens and the relationship of stable fly immature versus adult sample densities. pens within feedlots were divided into five areas (the feed apron, back fence, side fences, mound, and the general lot); from each area, three core samples were randomly taken weekly. in 1986 and 1987, the feed apron yielded the most immature stable flies (62.5%). the ... | 1991 | 2019682 |
| landing pattern of stable flies (diptera: muscidae) on the alsynite cylinder trap: effect of wind speed and direction. | the distribution of stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), caught on adhesive-coated alsynite cylinder traps indicated that a significantly higher proportion of flies landed on the side most protected from the wind, and that flies were distributed equally on both sides of the traps bisected by the direction of the prevailing wind, and that the proportion of trapped flies decreased significantly with height on the trap. the landing pattern of house flies, musca domestica l., appeared to differ f ... | 1991 | 1941944 |
| localization of leucomyosuppressin-like peptides in the central nervous system of the stable fly with immunocytochemistry. | an antiserum raised against leucomyosuppressin (lms), the first insect neuropeptide shown to inhibit contraction of both visceral and skeletal muscles of insects, revealed the presence of lms-like material in neurons of the adult stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.). cells and their processes immunoreactive to the lms antiserum were found in the brain, subesophageal, and thoracico-abdominal ganglia, with the majority of these neurons in the thoracico-abdominal ganglion. positive immunostaining a ... | 1991 | 1941941 |
| transmission of bovine virus diarrhoea virus by blood feeding flies. | three species of blood-feeding flies (stomoxys calcitrans, haematopota pluvialis and hydrotaea irritans) were fed for five minutes on a bullock persistently infected with bovine virus diarrhoea virus (bvdv) containing 10(4.5)tcid50 non-cytopathic bvdv/ml serum, then subsequently fed on bvdv-free seronegative animals maintained in isolation. virus was isolated from recipient animals between days 5 and 10 using h pluvialis, and up to 72 hours after transmission with s calcitrans; virus isolation w ... | 1991 | 1850184 |
| physiological and nutritional responses of beef steers exposed to stable flies (diptera: muscidae). | physiological and nutritional responses were measured in beef steers exposed to laboratory infestations of stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.). calves (n = 6 per treatment) were infested with four levels of stable flies for three periods daily (15 min each period) for 14 d. steers exposed to 0, 10, 20, or 30 stable flies consumed similar amounts of feed and water; they excreted similar amounts of feces and urine throughout the study. during the experiment, changes in body weight were not infl ... | 1991 | 1842798 |
| battery-powered, electrocuting trap for stable flies (diptera: muscidae). | a solar-charged, battery-powered, electrocuting grid was combined with a white plywood base to make a portable, pulsed-current, pest-electrocuting device that attracted and killed stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), outdoors. the grid was powered once every 1-2 s by a 0.016-s pulse of 60-hz alternating current of 4 ma and 9,500 v. power was turned off at night by a photoresistor. the trap functioned continuously for 14 d with an unrecharged 12-v, 18a/h lawn-tractor battery and killed as many ... | 1991 | 1770518 |
| origin of stable flies (diptera: muscidae) on west florida beaches: electrophoretic analysis of dispersal. | stable fly adults were collected from 16 locations within the state of florida and from locations in six other states in an attempt to determine the source of stable fly populations along florida beaches on the gulf of mexico. electrophoretic analyses were made of a minimum of 10 enzymes in each of 37 separate populations. extremely low heterozygosity resulted in an inability to use standard genetic identity and distance procedures for determining the divergence of allopatric populations to esta ... | 1991 | 1770514 |
| suppressing immature house and stable flies in outdoor calf hutches with sand, gravel, and sawdust bedding. | sand, gravel, sawdust, and pine shavings were used as bedding in outdoor calf hutches and compared with straw relative to the density of immature (maggot) house flies, musca domestica, and stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans. in 6-wk field trials, average densities of house and stable fly maggots in concrete mix sand ranged from only .3 to 1.6 and 0 to .1 maggots/l, respectively; pea size gravel bedding also strongly suppressed densities from less than .1 to .3 and less than .1 to .1 maggots/l, re ... | 1991 | 1757634 |
| experimental transmission of bovine leukosis virus by leucocytes recovered from the stable fly stomoxys calcitrans l. | 1. wild stable flies (stomoxys calcitrans) feeding on heifers infected with bovine leukosis virus (blv) carried viable bovine leucocytes in the midgut and proboscis that, when inoculated by the subcutaneous route into lambs aged 5 to 60 days, elicited the development of antibodies to glycoprotein (gp51) and polypeptide 25 (p25). 2. antibodies were detected as early as one month later and persisted for an experimental period of 24 or 36 months. uninoculated control lambs reared together with the ... | 1991 | 1665724 |
| binomial sampling for pest management of stable flies (diptera: muscidae) that attack dairy cattle. | a binomial sampling plan for pest management of the stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), was developed. counts of stable flies on front legs of the same animal were independent and each leg from the same animal was considered a sample unit. the relationship between the mean number of flies per leg and the variance was determined and did not vary among farms. the relationship between the mean number of flies per leg and the proportion of legs with zero, one or less, and two or less flies (p0, p1 ... | 1992 | 1607474 |
| insects feeding on desert bighorn sheep, domestic rabbits, and japanese quail in the santa rosa mountains of southern california. | desert bighorn sheep (ovis canadensis cremnobates), a domestic rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus), and japanese quail (coturnix japonica) were used as bait animals to collect blood-feeding flies in an area of active blue-tongue and epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus transmission. precipitin tests were used to confirm the blood source where feasible. eight species of culicoides, members of the leptoconops kerteszi group, simulium spp., anopheles franciscanus, and stomoxys calcitrans were collected f ... | 1992 | 1512887 |
| [use of parasitic wasps (hymenoptera: pteromalidae) in the biological control of domestic flies in pig housing]. | adaptability of two parasitoid species s. nigroaenea and m. zaraptor to conditions of stable microclimate was investigated in a farrowing house. the colony was reared in an insectary at a temperature of 24-26 degrees c and relative humidity of 60-70% in cages of the size 0.3 x 0.3 x 0.2 m. the development of the species m. zaraptor from egg to adult lasted 19 to 23 days, in s. nigroaenea it was 23 to 25 days. rates of parasitism of house fly pupae were followed in plastic pots (8 x 4 x 9 cm) wit ... | 1992 | 1481340 |
| new diets for production of house flies and stable flies (diptera: muscidae) in the laboratory. | a diet for rearing the house fly, musca domestica (l.), was developed from feed constituents available on a year-round basis in gainesville, fl. the diet, called the gainesville house fly diet, performed as well or better than the chemical specialties manufacturers' association fly larval medium (csma) and can be mixed, bagged, and delivered by a local feed mill within 3 d. by adding pelleted peanut hulls 1:1 by volume, the house fly diet becomes suitable for rearing the stable fly, stomoxys cal ... | 1992 | 1464690 |
| immunological and feeding studies on antigens derived from the biting fly, stomoxys calcitrans. | pairs of rabbits were immunised with three antigenic preparations derived from stomoxys calcitrans gut, abdominal section and whole flies. immunoblotting studies demonstrated that a humoral response was mounted against eight antigens from the gut preparation and 12 each from the abdominal and whole fly preparations. in vitro feeding experiments showed higher mortality between days 4 and 7 in the group of flies which had fed upon blood from rabbits inoculated with the gut derived antigen. this gr ... | 1992 | 1441185 |
| effects of stable flies (diptera: muscidae) and heat stress on weight gain and feed efficiency of feeder cattle. | cattle respond to the feeding of stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), by bunching to protect their front legs. this bunching can increase heat stress which indirectly accounts for much of the reduction in cattle weight gains. we used fly-screened, self-contained feedlot pens which allowed regulation of fly populations feeding on cattle. the indirect fly effects (bunching and heat stress) accounted for 71.5% of the reduced weight gain. the direct effect of the biting flies and energy loss invo ... | 1992 | 1401484 |
| some pharmacological properties of the oviduct muscularis of the stable fly stomoxys calcitrans. | 1. spontaneous and rhythmic contractions were measured in 80% of the preparations of the stable fly oviduct which were separated from the central nervous system and other tissues. measurements of the changes in the amplitude and frequency of contractions and changes in the baseline tonus were taken separately, even though they often occurred together during chemical treatments. 2. l-glutamate, at a concentration of 10(-4) to 10(-3) m, caused an increase in the frequency of contractions and in mu ... | 1992 | 1358541 |
| [determination of thermal requirements of stomoxys calcitrans (l.) (diptera, muscidae), under laboratory conditions]. | the biology of immature stages of stomoxys calcitrans (l.) was studied in the laboratory under four constant temperatures. the study was carried out in biological incubators at 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees c; 65 +/- 10% relative humidity and 14 hours of photophase. the most favorable temperature for developing eggs, larval and pupal was 25 degrees c, while 35 degrees c proved to be harmful for a normal developing of s. calcitrans in larval stage. the incubation periods for egg were 69.90, 42.58, 26 ... | 1992 | 1343786 |
| [the absolute number of the stable fly (stomoxys calcitrans) in the buildings of dairy farms]. | in order to estimate the absolute number of stomoxys calcitrans subpopulation in housings of a dairy farm the capture-mark-recapture method has been used. it has been established that the absolute number of s. calcitrans subpopulation can be as high as 100,000 specimens per a farmyard. the possibilities of using indices of the relative number of flies (caught on fly-paper) for estimation of the absolute number of these insects in the housings of farms have been found out. | 1992 | 1297972 |

| the suitability of various types of dung and vegetable matter as larval breeding media for stomoxys calcitrans l. (diptera: muscidae). | the dung of 7 species of domestic animals, 4 plant materials, standard larval breeding medium and 3 mixtures of some of these materials were evaluated as breeding media for stomoxys calcitrans larvae. s. calcitrans could not breed in pure chicken dung or in either of the 2 types of sawdust tested, but pinus spp. sawdust plus chicken dung proved an excellent breeding medium. of the other media tested, pennisetum spp. clippings were the least favourable for the development of s. calcitrans larvae. ... | 1978 | 754124 |
| nutritional values of different blood diets expressed as reproductive potentials in adult stomoxys calcitrans l. (diptera: muscidae). | experiments with stomoxys calcitrans adults showed that different blood diets markedly affect the lifespan and reproductive potential of this species. when fed on blood from herbivores (cattle, sheep, goat, horse and donkey) the adults lay more eggs than they do when fed on blood from omnivores (pig). blood from carnivores (dog) is even less suitable than that from omnivores, and no eggs are laid when the flies are fed on chicken blood. | 1978 | 750961 |
| a report on clinical aspects and histopathology of sweet itch. | sweet itch is an intensely pruritic dermatitis of horses recurring annually in ireland from april to november. the tissue changes of sweet itch have similarities to immediate-type hypersensitivity reactions which occur in skin sensitised to the saliva of bloodsucking insects. there was subepidermal oedema, and marked eosinophilia; the blood vessels were tortuous and enlarged. microfilaria were not found in serial sections of lesions of 5 affected horses. the histopathology of the immediate derma ... | 1978 | 738265 |
