Bartonella spp. DNA Associated with Biting Flies from California
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Bartonella DNA was investigated in 104 horn flies (Haematobia spp.), 60 stable flies (Stomoxys spp.), 11 deer flies (Chrysops spp.), and 11 horse flies (Tabanus spp.) collected on cattle in California. Partial sequencing indicated B.

Genetic parameters of subjective and image-based horn fly abundance phenotypes
Frontiers in Animal Science, 2023 The genetic basis of horn fly abundance remains largely unknown and only few heritability estimates are available based on small scale studies. In this study, one subjective and two image-based fly abundance phenotypes were analyzed.

Thrombin as a Potential Proxy to Select for Horn Fly Abundance in Beef Cattle
Animals, 2022 Horn flies are a major nuisance to cattle and induce significant economic losses. Fly abundance varies within and across breeds and genetic analyses have shown sufficient genetic variation to permit selection.

Functional genomics of the horn fly,
BMC Genomics, 2011 Background The 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.

Sex Chromosome Evolution in Muscid Flies
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Sex chromosomes and sex determining genes can evolve fast, with the sex-linked chromosomes often differing between closely related species. Population genetics theory has been developed and tested to explain the rapid evolution of sex chromosomes and sex

Identification of anti-horn fly vaccine antigen candidates using a reverse vaccinology approach
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background The horn fly, Haematobia irritans irritans, causes significant production losses to the cattle industry. Horn fly control relies on insecticides; however, alternative control methods such as vaccines are needed due to the fly's capacity to ...
