| seasonal abundance of stable flies and house flies (diptera: muscidae) in dairies in alberta, canada. | seasonal abundance of stable flies and house flies was studied at four dairies in southern alberta, canada, from may to october in 1989, 1990, and 1991. stable flies were active from may to october in all years and showed population peaks in august and september. the weekly rate of change of stable fly populations was influenced by temperature and accumulated degree-days above 10 degrees c. the weekly rate of change of stable fly populations showed four peaks which were attributed to the emergen ... | 1993 | 8254636 |
| persistence of escherichia coli in immature house fly and stable fly (diptera: muscidae) in relation to larval growth and survival. | the persistence of escherichia coli in artificially fed larvae was examined for up to 48 h after ingestion by house flies, musca domestica l., and stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.). the rate of change in the e. coli load was similar for both species for up to 5 h after ingestion. up to 48 h after ingestion, abundance of e. coli declined in immature house flies but remained constant in immature stable flies. when different e. coli concentrations were fed to larvae, the abundance of e. coli i ... | 2004 | 15605648 |
