| a single hox3 gene with composite bicoid and zerknullt expression characteristics in non-cyclorrhaphan flies. | the members of the evolutionarily conserved hox-gene complex, termed hox genes, are required for specifying segmental identity during embryogenesis in various animal phyla. the hox3 genes of winged insects have lost this ancestral function and are required for the development of extraembryonic epithelia, which do not contribute to any larval structure. higher flies (cyclorrhapha) such as drosophila melanogaster contain hox3 genes of two types, the zerknüllt type and the bicoid type. the zerknüll ... | 2002 | 11773616 |
| the amnioserosa is an apomorphic character of cyclorrhaphan flies. | in developing insect eggs the cells of the blastoderm adopt either an embryonic or an extraembryonic fate. the extraembryonic tissue consists of epithelia, termed amnion and serosa, which wrap the germ band embryo. the serosa develops directly from part of the blastoderm and surrounds the embryo as well as the yolk. the amnion develops from the margins of the germ band and in most insect species generates a transient ventral cavity for the developing embryo. the amniotic cavity and the serosa ha ... | 2000 | 11180843 |
| efficacy of the repellent n,n-diethyl-3-methyl-benzamide (deet) against tabanid flies on horses evaluated in a field test in switzerland. | female tabanid flies (diptera: tabanidae) can be a serious nuisance for horses because of their painful bites during blood feeding. they also play a primary role in mechanical transmission of a lentivirus causing equine infectious anemia (eia), a virus that has spread within europe in recent years. according to the european law for products intended for use as a repellent on horses (recreational and sport horses), a field test is mandatory to demonstrate sufficient repellency of such a substance ... | 2016 | 27084474 |
| seasonality and daily activity of male and female tabanid flies monitored in a hungarian hill-country pasture by new polarization traps and traditional canopy traps. | blood-sucking female tabanid flies cause serious problems for animals and humans. for the control of tabanids, the knowledge about their seasonality and daily activity is of great importance. earlier, only traditional traps capturing exclusively female tabanids have been used to survey tabanid activity. the data of such temporal trapping do not reflect correctly the activity of male and female tabanid flies. our major aim was to monitor the trapping numbers of male and female tabanids during a 3 ... | 2014 | 25193049 |
| ammonia and 1-octen-3-ol as attractants for haematopota pluvialis, hybomitra expollicata (diptera: tabanidae), and morellia spp. (diptera: muscidae). | 1-octen-3-ol with and without ammonia were evaluated as attractants in canopy traps for haematopota pluvialis l., hybomitra expollicata pand., and morellia spp. baited traps collected significantly more tabanidae and female morellia spp. than unbaited traps. 1-octen-3-ol or 1-octen-3-ol with ammonia, increased catch by 4.2- and 4.3-fold for h. pluvialis, 5.9- and 8.6-fold for h. expollicata, and 1.2- and 1.6-fold for female morellia spp., respectively. | 2000 | 11126564 |
| relative efficiency of manitoba traps and adhesive panels for the capture of the common cleg, haematopota pluvialis (meigen) (diptera: tabanidae). | a comparative study of four traps was made in argyll, scotland, over a period of two months for the collection of haematopota pluvialis. an adhesive trap was shown to be three times more efficient than a standard manitoba trap, or versions of a manitoba trap in which the target black ball was replaced by an adhesive black ball or a pair of adhesive panels. the reduced efficiency of the manitoba trap is attributed to the plastic canopy which appears white in colour, particularly when wet. | 1986 | 3800473 |
