Fly or die: Environmental conditions, not trap design, influence Philornis downsi capture rate in the Galapagos [PDF]
The avian vampire fly, Philornis downsi, is one of the greatest threats to the landbirds of the Galapagos. In its larval stages P. downsi parasitizes on many of the archipelago’s endemic and native birds, resulting in nestling death or lifelong ...

The role of \u3ci\u3ePhilornis downsi\u3c/i\u3e in avian disease transmission in the Galápagos Islands [PDF]
, 2015 Philornis downsi is a dipteran fly species known to parasitize passerine birds in the Neotropics. P. downsi is speculated to be a recently introduced species in Galápagos Islands, so it is important to understand its effects on the archipelago’s native ...

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
