| molecular characterization and taxonomy of a new species of caudosporidae (microsporidia) from black flies (diptera: simuliidae) with host-derived relationships of the north american caudosporids. | a new species of microsporidium, caudospora palustris (microsporidia: caudosporidae), is described from 3 species of black flies (cnephia ornithophilia and diploid and triploid cytospecies of stegopterna mutata), bringing to 7 the total species of caudosporids recorded from north america. this new species of caudosporid is recorded from swamp streams of the coastal plain from new jersey to georgia, with single records from the new jersey mountains and the upper peninsula of michigan. densities o ... | 2000 | 10772326 |
| attacks on the endangered attwater's prairie-chicken (tympanuchus cupido attwateri) by black flies (diptera: simuliidae) infected with an avian blood parasite. | with fewer than 50 birds remaining in the wild, attwater's prairie-chicken (tympanuchus cupido attwateri) is critically endangered. individuals of this species on the attwater prairie chicken national wildlife refuge, colorado co., tx, have been attacked in successive winters, 2005-2006, by the blood-feeding black fly cnephia ornithophilia. attwater's prairie-chicken is a previously unreported host for cnephia ornithophilia. molecular screening indicated that about 15% of 13 blood-fed flies samp ... | 2007 | 18260522 |
| multiple symbiotes in larval black flies (diptera: simuliidae): associations of trichomycete fungi with ichthyosporeans, mermithid nematodes, and microsporidia. | studies of the interactions between two or more species of symbiotic microorganisms in a single host animal have lagged behind those involving interactions between hymenopteran or dipteran parasitoids. we screened the larvae of four species of black flies (cnephia ornithophilia, simulium furculatum, simulium innoxium, and simulium vandalicum) to determine if the colonization and prevalence of trichomycete fungi were influenced by ichthyosporeans, mermithid nematodes, microsporidia, or other spec ... | 2005 | 15955344 |
| dna barcoding distinguishes pest species of the black fly genus cnephia (diptera: simuliidae). | accurate species identification is essential for cost-effective pest control strategies. we tested the utility of coi barcodes for identifying members of the black fly genus cnephia enderlein (diptera: simuliidae). our efforts focus on four nearctic cnephia species-cnephia dacotensis (dyar & shannon), cnephia eremities shewell, cnephia ornithophilia (davies, peterson & wood), and cnephia pecuarum (riley)--the latter two being current or potential targets of biological control programs. we also a ... | 2013 | 24843929 |
