| [anaphylactic reaction caused by a horse-fly species (hippobosca equina)]. | the authors report on the case of a 46-year-old female patient who had an anaphylactic reaction of lucky outcome after a fly bite. she shortly developed a hard swelling of 15 cm diameter covered by scab, on the hairy scalp where hair meets the forehead, as well as an oedema on the forehead. shortly afterwards came an erythema and pruritus on the face and body, and oedema on the hands, face and lips, later accompanied by shivers, nausea and vomit. the captured insect was identified by a taxonomic ... | 2009 | 19812013 |
| a preliminary study on the insect fauna of al-baha province, saudi arabia, with descriptions of two new species. | a preliminary study was carried out on the insect fauna of al-baha province, south-western part of saudi arabia. a total number of 582 species and subspecies (few identified only to the genus level) belonging to 129 families and representing 17 orders were recorded. two of these species are described as new, namely: monomorium sarawatensis sharaf & aldawood, sp. n. [formicidae, hymenoptera] and anthrax alruqibi el-hawagry sp. n. [bombyliidae, diptera]. another eight species are recorded for the ... | 2013 | 23794807 |
| ectoparasites on reintroduced roe deer capreolus capreolus in israel. | the ectoparasite fauna of reintroduced roe deer (capreolus capreolus) was surveyed in a mediterranean forest in israel. ectoparasites were collected from four female hand-reared deer during 2004 and 2005. seasonality, predilection sites of infestation, and the apparent effect of the parasites are presented. this is the first study of roe deer parasites in the east mediterranean. the ectoparasite fauna included three hippoboscid fly (lipoptena capreoli, hippobosca equina, and hippobosca longipenn ... | 2008 | 18689655 |
| wild red foxes (vulpes vulpes) as sentinels of parasitic diseases in the province of soria, northern spain. | four hundred red foxes (vulpes vulpes) were examined for ecto- (arthropods) and endoparasites (leishmania spp., trichinella spp., and intestinal parasites). different species of flea (total prevalence, 40.50%), tick (16.25%), mite (7.25%), and fly (1.50%) were identified. the most prevalent flea was pulex irritans (found on 29% of the foxes); the most prevalent tick, mite, and fly were ixodes canisuga (on 5%), sarcoptes scabiei (on 5.25%), and hippobosca equina (on 1%), respectively. the endopar ... | 2015 | 26565688 |
| role of hippoboscidae flies as potential vectors of bartonella spp. infecting wild and domestic ruminants. | the putative role of biting flies in bartonella transmission among ruminants was investigated. amplification of the bartonella citrate synthase gene from 83 hippoboscidae was detected in 94% of 48 adult lipoptena cervi flies, 71% of 17 adult hippobosca equina flies, 100% of 20 adult melophagus ovinus flies, and 100% of 10 m. ovinus pupae. our findings suggest that hippoboscidae play a role in the transmission of bartonella among ruminants. the vertical transmission of bartonella in m. ovinus and ... | 2004 | 15466580 |

| occurrence of hippobosca equina in polish primitive horses during the grazing season. | the presence of hippobosca equina strongly influences the behaviour and health status of horses. the aim of the study was to analyse the invasion dynamics of the forest fly in polish primitive horses (equus caballus gmelini) in the popielno forest reserve (northeastern poland). observations were carried out from may to september, every two weeks for two consecutive years (2012 and 2013) in five study groups: in 11-12-year-old mares with foals, 6-7-year-old leading stallions, 1.5-year-old fillies ... | 2015 | 26342509 |
| prevalence of keds on city dogs in central poland. | the aim of this study was to identify the species of ked infesting dogs in the cities of central poland. a total of 510 dogs were observed between june and september 2015. the presence of keds was noted in 182 (35.7%) animals. keds were more prevalent in female (38.0%) than in male (33.2%) dogs, and were more frequently found in animals younger than 1 year (46.2%) and in long-haired dogs (36.6%). the body areas most heavily colonized by keds were the groin (35.4%) and neck (21.4%). a total of 90 ... | 2017 | 27859424 |
| oedematous skin disease of buffalo in egypt. | this review covers a historical view and etiology of oedematous skin disease which affects buffalo in egypt, the microbiology of corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis causing the disease: its virulence; clinical signs; mechanism of pathogenesis; histopathology; mode of transmission; immunological aspects; treatment and control. it is concluded that c. pseudotuberculosis serotype ii is the main cause of osd and exotoxin phospholipase d and its lipid contents of the cell wall are the major causes of ... | 2001 | 15129580 |
| bartonellae in animals and vectors in new caledonia. | bartonellae are gram-negative facultative intracellular alpha-proteobacteria from the family bartonellaceae. the natural history of bartonellae consists of a reservoir/host, which is a vertebrate with chronic intravascular infection with sustained bacteremia, and a vector (usually an arthropod) that transfers the bacteria from the reservoir to a susceptible yet uninfected host. in order to reveal the sources and reservoirs of bartonella infection in animals and vectors in new caledonia, we colle ... | 2011 | 22018646 |
| ultrastructural investigation of antennae in three cutaneous myiasis flies: melophagus ovinus, hippobosca equina, and hippobosca longipennis (diptera: hippoboscidae). | melophagus ovinus (linnaeus 1758), hippobosca equina linnaeus, 1758, and hippobosca longipennis fabricius, 1805 (diptera: hippoboscidae) are economically and medically important ectoparasites that can act as mechanic vectors of pathogens and cause myiasis in both human and domestic animals. as essential olfactory organs, antennae of these adult hippoboscids were examined using stereoscopic and scanning electron microscopes. general morphology of the antenna is provided in detail, combined with d ... | 2015 | 25707367 |
| lousicidal, ovicidal and repellent efficacy of some essential oils against lice and flies infesting water buffaloes in egypt. | the lousicidal and repellent effects of five essential oils were investigated for the first time against the buffalo louse, haematopinus tuberculatus, and flies infesting water buffaloes in qalyubia governorate, egypt. for the in vitro studies, filter paper contact bioassays were used to test the oils and their lethal activities were compared with that of d-phenothrin. four minutes post-treatment, the median lethal concentration, lc50, values were 2.74, 7.28, 12.35, 18.67 and 22.79% for camphor ... | 2009 | 19596520 |
