| the intracellular pathway and kinetics of digestive enzyme secretion in an insect midgut cell. | the opaque zone cells of the midgut of the stablefly, stomoxys calcitrans display a cyclical series of ultrastructural events in response to feeding, which it has been suggested are related to the synthesis and secretion of digestive enzymes. these cells have been studied in vivo using a combination of biochemical, morphometric and electron microscopical autoradiographic techniques. the cyclical nature, timing and relationship of the ultrastructural events to enzyme secretion has been confirmed. ... | 1989 | 2772906 |
| why is alsynite fiber glass sheet attractive to stable flies? optical and behavioural studies. | the fiber glass material alsynite (sequentia corporation) is known to be an effective visual attractant to stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans. the basis for this attractiveness is not certain, but is found to correlate with high near-uv reflectivity. while examining the transmission properties of alsynite, it was found that the ratio of short- to long-wavelength photons shifts from 0.17 to 0.77, depending on the angle of the alsynite relative to the source and the detector. this shift occurs sudd ... | 1989 | 2776864 |
| mechanical transmission of capripox virus and african swine fever virus by stomoxys calcitrans. | stomoxys calcitrans can act as an efficient mechanical vector of capripox virus and african swine fever virus. capripox virus was transmitted to a susceptible goat by flies infected 24 hours previously and the virus survived in some flies for at least four days. african swine fever virus was transmitted to susceptible pigs by flies infected one hour and 24 hours previously and the virus survived in these flies for at least two days without apparent loss of titre. | 1987 | 2820006 |
| evaluation of the stable fly (stomoxys calcitrans) as a vector of enzootic bovine leukosis. | experiments reported here were directed at 2 questions: (1) can the stable fly (stomoxys calcitrans) transmit enzootic bovine leukosis? (2) could early viremia augment the probability of transmission by this insect? in one vector experiment, calves and bovine leukemia virus (blv)-infected cows were housed with and without stable flies. the calves were monitored serologically during a 3-month postexposure period, using the agar gel immunodiffusion test. all fly-infested and fly-free calves remain ... | 1988 | 2851955 |
| horse-baited insect trap and mobile insect sorting table used in a disease vector identification study. | a horse-baited trap and a mobile insect sorting table were used to conduct an arthropod survey for potential vectors of potomac horse fever in southern maryland and northern virginia. the trap and table worked effectively for the live collection and sorting of haemophagous diptera such as: simulium spp., stomoxys calcitrans, musca autumnalis, tabanus spp. and chrysops spp. during the diurnal collections periods, and culicoides spp. during the crepuscular periods. the trap was not as convenient f ... | 1988 | 2906356 |
| effect of host behaviour on host preference in stomoxys calcitrans. | field observations suggest that, in the u.k., cattle are the preferred host of stomoxys calcitrans (l.), followed by horses. differences were observed in the numbers of flies feeding on individual animals both in the field and under controlled conditions. analysis of the behaviour of four friesian calves under attack from s. calcitrans in controlled conditions revealed that the differences in the levels of attack between individual hosts are dependent on the reactions of the host when under atta ... | 1987 | 2979520 |
| early season dispersal of muscidifurax zaraptor (hymenoptera: pteromalidae) utilizing freeze-killed housefly pupae as hosts. | the pteromalid wasp, muscidifurax zaraptor kogan and legner, was released at three locations at a dairy in may before housefly and stable fly breeding had begun. freeze-killed housefly pupae were placed adjacent to the emerging parasites at biweekly intervals for a 6-week period. hosts placed out weeks 0 and 2 were heavily parasitized. decreased parasitism in hosts placed out at week 4 suggested that many of the m. zaraptor had dispersed or died. high parasitism of hosts placed in the field at w ... | 1988 | 2980169 |
| role of insects in the transmission of bovine leukosis virus: potential for transmission by stable flies, horn flies, and tabanids. | the ability of stable flies (stomoxys calcitrans), horn flies (haematobia irritans), and tabanids (diptera: tabanidae) to transmit bovine leukosis virus (blv) was investigated. stable flies and horn flies were fed on blood collected from an infected cow, and the flies' mouthparts were immediately removed, placed in rpmi-1640 medium, ground, and inoculated into sheep and calves. infection of sheep occurred with mouthparts from as few as 25 stable flies or 25 horn flies. however, sheep were not in ... | 1985 | 2982293 |
| insect transmission of capripoxvirus. | capripoxvirus was transmitted between sheep using stomoxys calcitrans as a vector. attempts to transmit capripoxvirus between sheep and between goats using biting lice (mallophaga species), sucking lice (damalinia species), sheep head flies (hydrotaea irritans) and midges (culicoides nubeculosus) were unsuccessful, although capripoxvirus was isolated from sheep head flies that had previously fed on infected sheep. | 1986 | 3010413 |
| mechanical transmission of bacillus anthracis by stable flies (stomoxys calcitrans) and mosquitoes (aedes aegypti and aedes taeniorhynchus). | we evaluated the potential of stable flies, stomoxys calcitrans, and two species of mosquitoes, aedes aegypti and aedes taeniorhynchus, to transmit bacillus anthracis vollum 1b mechanically. after probing on hartley guinea pigs with a bacteremia of ca. 10(8.6) cfu of b. anthracis per ml of blood, individual or pools of two to four stable flies or mosquitoes were allowed to continue feeding on either uninfected guinea pigs or a/j mice. all three insect species transmitted lethal anthrax infection ... | 1987 | 3112013 |
