Functional genomics of the horn fly, Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus, 1758). [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
AbstractBackgroundThe horn fly,Haematobia irritans(Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) is one of the most important ectoparasites of pastured cattle. Horn flies infestations reduce cattle weight gain and milk production. Additionally, horn flies are mechanical vectors of different pathogens that cause disease in cattle.

The use of RNA interference for the management of arthropod pests in livestock farms L'uso di RNA interferente per il controllo degli artropodi infestanti negli allevamenti

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 631-646, December 2023., 2023
Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

Developmental performance of Eristalis tenax larvae (Diptera: Syrphidae): Influence of growth media and yeast addition during captive rearing

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 339, Issue 5, Page 503-513, June 1, 2023., 2023
Enrichment of the rearing media with yeast fosters larval and overall survival of Eristalis tenax, and shortens larval development time. Mixing antelope droppings and rotting plant material keeps high larval survival and performance of the rearing medium up during developmental duration specially leading to female emergence.

Season‐Long Simplification of Insect Communities in Dung From Cattle Treated With an Extended‐Release Formulation of the Parasiticide Eprinomectin

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 42, Issue 3, Page 684-697, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Cattle treated with LongRange®, an injectable formulation of the parasiticide eprinomectin, fecally excrete insecticidal residues for an extended period post application. We examined the nontarget effect of these residues by comparing insect communities developing in dung of untreated cattle (week 0) with those developing in dung of cattle ...

Blood-Feeding Strategy of Haematobia irritans (Diptera: Muscidae) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1998
The economic impact on livestock production by Haematobia irritans (L.) is estimated to approach $1 billion per year in North America. However, there is little information regarding the blood-feeding strategy used by these insects. Information presented here shows that horn fly saliva interferes with the normal coagulation response as measured by the ...

Diversity and composition of the microbiome associated with eggs of the Southern green stinkbug, Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
In this study, we assessed the composition and establishment of the microbiome of insect eggs using the Southern green stinkbug Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) as a study object. Our results show that the egg‐associated bacterial microbiome is species‐poor and dominated by a few symbionts, particularly the species‐specific obligate Pantoea ...

In vitro screening and in vivo evaluation of antiparasitic phytochemicals against Cryptocaryon irritans in pompano, Trachinotus ovatus

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1084-1100, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Cryptocaryon irritans, one of the most devastating holotrichous ciliated protozoans, causes massive economic losses in the pompano, Trachinotus ovatus, mariculture industries. Considering the many advantages of phytochemicals, such as low cost, low residuals, and low pollution, they can be a good alternative for the prevention and control of C.

Adverse effects of Diptera flies on northern ungulates: Rangifer, Alces, and Bison

Mammal Review, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 425-437, July 2022., 2022
Ungulates resist flies initially by morphological barriers of skin and hair, and later by physiological processes of healing and immunity. The cost of repairing skin increases with damage to the body surface, but the costs of immune response vary widely with the fly and the associated diseases.
