Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionThe avian vampire fly is an invasive species on the Galapagos Islands, where its hematophagous larvae utilize nestling birds as hosts. It poses a serious threat to populations and species of Darwin finches and other avian species.

Primer registro de Philornis vulgaris (Diptera: Muscidae) en México [PDF]
Avian parasites are a threat to biodiversity. Flies in the genus Philornis parasitize a wide range of avian species, often resulting in their death. However, our knowledge of their distribution and host range is limited to a few species such as Philornis
