| 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 |
| parasites that attack stable fly and house fly (diptera: muscidae) puparia during the winter on dairies in northwestern florida. | throughout the winter and early spring months, stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), and house fly, musca domestica l., puparia were collected from silage, hay, and manure from six dairies in northwestern florida and evaluated for parasitism. of the puparia producing flies or parasites, 23% of the stable flies and 46% of the house flies were parasitized. the predominant parasite observed attacking muscoid flies (76% for stable flies and 58% for house flies) was spalangia cameroni perkins. muscid ... | 1989 | 2708626 |

| evaluation of various substances to increase adult stomoxys calcitrans (diptera: muscidae) collections on alsynite cylinder traps in north florida. | during 1993-1995, field studies evaluated various volatile substances to increase the catch of adult stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans l., on adhesive-coated translucent fiberglass (alsynite) cylinder traps. dry ice, 1-octen-3-ol (referred to as octenol), acetone, 4:1:8 mixture of 1 octen-3-ol: 3-n-propylphenol: 4-methylphenol, and an eye gnat (hippelates) attractant were tested. using dry ice as a baseline, the latter 4 treatments also were considered as possible alternatives to carbon dioxide. ... | 1999 | 10534955 |
| tsetse and other biting fly responses to nzi traps baited with octenol, phenols and acetone. | octenol (1-octen-3-ol), acetone, 4-methylphenol, 3-n-propylphenol, and other potential attractants (human urine, stable fly faeces), as well as guiacol, creosol (potential repellents), were tested as baits for biting flies in north america using standard phthalogen blue if3gm cotton nzi traps, or similar commercial polyester traps. baits were tested during the summers of 2001-04 at a residence in canada and during january-august 2001 at a dairy in the u.s.a. behaviour in the presence of octenol ... | 2007 | 17373949 |
| distribution and abundance of natural parasitoid (hymenoptera: pteromalidae) populations of house flies and stable flies (diptera: muscidae) at the university of florida dairy research unit. | from september 2001 through september 2002, house fly and stable fly pupae were collected weekly from three fly habitats at the university of florida research dairy in northcentral florida and evaluated for parasitism. varying parasitism percentages were observed throughout the study but they were not affected by temperature, precipitation or fly abundance. of the 6,222 house fly pupae and 1,660 stable fly pupae that produced either a host fly or a parasitoid, 26.9% and 26.7% were parasitized, r ... | 2010 | 20676517 |
| assessing permethrin resistance in the stable fly (diptera: muscidae) in florida by using laboratory selections and field evaluations. | insecticide resistance in the stable fly, stomoxys calcitrans (l.) (diptera: muscidae),has been demonstrated previously, but mostly with insecticides that are no longer used, such as the organochlorines. resistance to commonly used pyrethroids has been evaluated twice, but only in the midwestern united states. stable fly susceptibility to a commonly used pyrethroid, permethrin, was determined in florida to assess the possibility of resistance development. diagnostic concentration evaluations of ... | 2010 | 21309252 |
| host blood meal identification by multiplex polymerase chain reaction for dispersal evidence of stable flies (diptera:muscidae) between livestock facilities. | a species-specific multiplex polymerase chain reaction targeting the cytochrome b gene of cattle, horses, humans, and dogs was developed to determine the blood meal sources of stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans (l.), collected from florida equine facilities. of 595 presumptive blood-fed stable flies analyzed, successful host amplification was obtained in 350, for a field host-detection efficiency of 58.8%. the majority of analyzed stable flies had fed on cattle (64.6%), followed by horses (24.3%) ... | 2011 | 21337948 |
| Seasonal abundance of stable flies and filth fly pupal parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) at Florida equine facilities. | Beginning in November 2007 and continuing until December 2009, weekly stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), surveillance was conducted at four equine facilities near Ocala, FL, by using alsynite sticky traps for adults and by searching immature developmental sites for pupae. Adult stable fly trap captures were highly variable throughout the year, ranging from 0 to 1,400 flies per trap per farm. The greatest adult stable fly activity was observed during the spring months of March and April, with ... | 2011 | 21735936 |
| the ability of selected pupal parasitoids (hymenoptera: pteromalidae) to locate stable fly hosts in a soiled equine bedding substrate. | the ability of spalangia cameroni perkins, spalangia endius walker, and muscidifurax raptorellus kogan and legner to locate and attack stable fly hosts was evaluated under laboratory conditions. postfeeding third-instar stable fly larvae were released and allowed to pupate in two arena types: large 4.8 liter chambers containing a field-collected, soiled equine bedding substrate; or 120-ml plastic cups containing wood chips. at the time of fly pupariation, parasitoids were released and permitted ... | 2011 | 22182616 |
