The impact of temperature on the life cycle of Gasterophilus pecorum in northwest China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2021
Background The departure of the mature larvae of the horse stomach bot fly from the host indicates the beginning of a new infection period. Gasterophilus pecorum is the dominant bot fly species in the desert steppe of the Kalamaili Nature Reserve (KNR ...

Spatial distribution of Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera) eggs in the desert steppe of the Kalamaili Nature Reserve (Xinjiang, China) [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Background The dominant Gasterophilus species in the desert steppe (Xinjiang, China) Gasterophilus pecorum poses a serious threat to the reintroduced Przewalski’s horses. We investigated the distribution pattern of G. pecorum eggs in June 2017.

Analysis of volatiles from feces of released Przewalski’s horse (Equus przewalskii) in Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) spawning habitat [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
The absolute dominant species that infests wild population of Przewalski’s horse (Equus przewalskii) is Gasterophilus pecorum, and feces of released Przewalski’s horse, a habitat odor, plays an important role in mating and ovipositing locations of G ...

Oviposition site selection by Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) in its habitat in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China [PDF]

Parasite, 2015
Oviposition site selection is an important aspect of the behavioural ecology of insects. A comparison of the habitats used by a species enhances our understanding of their adaptation to altered environments.

Identification of volatile components from oviposition and non-oviposition plants of Gasterophilus pecorum (Diptera: Gasterophilidae). [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2020
AbstractOviposition by Gasterophilus pecorum on shoot tips of Stipa caucasica is a key determinant of its severe infection of the reintroduced Przewalski’s horse (Equus przewalskii). Volatiles in shoots of grasses on which Przewalski’s horse feeds, including S. caucasica at preoviposition, oviposition, and postoviposition stages of G.

Analysis on the relationship between winter precipitation and the annual variation of horse stomach fly community in arid desert steppe, Northwest China (2007-2019). [PDF]

Integr Zool, 2022
The botfly infestation intensity of Przewalski’s horses were investigated for 13 years in Kalamaili Nature Reserve, China. The intensity and composition of botflies were affected by winter precipitation indirectly in Przewalski’s horses. The distribution of artificial water sources sites should be considered for decreasing the intensity of equines ...

Genetic diversity of common Gasterophilus spp. from distinct habitats in China [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Gasterophilus species are widely distributed around the world. The larvae of these flies parasitize the digestive tract of equids and cause damage, hindering horse breeding and protection of endangered species.
