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.

The exceptional attachment ability of the ectoparasitic bee louse Braula coeca (Diptera, Braulidae) on the honeybee

Physiological Entomology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 83-95, June 2022., 2022
Bee lice attach to their host's surface using highly modified claws. The overall morphology of the tarsus produces strong attachment, with average safety factors (force per body weight) around 1130. The tarsal chain is protected with lateral stoppers against overflexion, but also allows for the fast detachment.

Bartonella spp. detection in ticks, Culicoides biting midges and wild cervids from Norway

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 941-951, March 2021., 2021
Abstract Bartonella spp. are fastidious, gram‐negative, aerobic, facultative intracellular bacteria that infect humans, and domestic and wild animals. In Norway, Bartonella spp. have been detected in cervids, mainly within the distribution area of the arthropod vector deer ked (Lipoptena cervi).

Molecular detection of Trypanosoma spp. in Lipoptena cervi and Lipoptena fortisetosa (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) and their potential role in the transmission of pathogens

Parasitology, 2020
AbstractThe family Hippoboscidae is a less known group of blood-sucking flies. Deer ked are particularly important for animal health; they may act as potential vectors of disease to ungulates, and may transmit pathogens to animals and humans. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of Trypanosoma (Megatrypanum) DNA in deer keds using ...

Is the invasion of deer keds by Lipoptena spp. potentially dangerous for human and animal health?

, 2022
Abstract Lipoptena cervi and Lipoptena fortisetosa are hematophagous ectoparasites from the Hippoboscidae family that mainly parasitizes Cervidae. These species may also attack humans and its bites may cause allergenic symptoms. The aim of the study was to determine the role of Lipoptena species as a potential vector and/or reservoir of ...

Review of the Bat Flies of Honduras, Central America (Diptera: Streblidae)

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Streblid bat flies are obligate and host‐specific blood‐feeding ectoparasites of bats. While the bat flies of some American countries are well studied (e.g., Panama, Venezuela), little is known about Honduran Streblidae. Accumulation of substantial numbers of specimens, from several different collections, has enabled a relatively thorough treatment of ...
