Cattle, Ear Tags for the Control of Face Flies, Horn Flies and Stable Flies, 1981

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1982
Abstract Ten Holstein steers were tagged with 2 Atroban ear tags/head and 5 mixed breed steers were tagged with 2 Deltamethrin tags/head in mid-Jun. Fly counts were made on all animals in each herd weekly until mid-Sep. Data are presented for every other week. Untreated cattle used for evaluating the effectiveness of the treatments was a

Effect of Ivermectin on Survival and Fecundity of Horn Flies and Stable Flies (Diptera: Muscidae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1986
Adult horn flies, Haematobia irritans (L.), and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), were fed on a blood diet that was fortified by the addition of known quantities of ivermectin [Merck MK933, at least 80% of 22,23-dihydro-5- O -demethylavermectin A10 and not more than 20% 22,23-dihydro-5- O -demethyl-25-de(1-methylpropyl)-25-(1-methylethyl ...

Effects of Additives on the Toxicity of Pyrethrins to Stable Flies and Horn Flies

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1963
Formulations containing various combinations of R-ll (2,3,4,5-bis(∆2-butylene)-tetrahydrofurfural), R-326 (di- n -propyl isocinchomeronate), MGK 264® ( n -(2-ethylhexyl)-5-norborneue-2,3-dicarhoximide), Tabutrex® (dibutyl suceinate), butoxy polypropylene glycol, and piperonyl butoxide with 0.02% pyrethrins and without pyrethrins were much less ...

Stable flies sense and behaviorally respond to the polarization of light

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2023
Insects use their polarization-sensitive photoreceptors in a variety of ecological contexts including host-foraging. Here, we investigated the effect of polarized light on host foraging by the blood-feeding stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, a pest of livestock.

Allozyme variation in stable flies (Diptera: Muscidae)

Biochemical Genetics, 1993
Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to resolve allozymes in the cosmopolitan blood-feeding stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). Nineteen of 38 loci were polymorphic (53%). Mean heterozygosities among all loci and among only polymorphic loci were 0.096 and 0.182, respectively.

Biology and control of tabanids, stable flies and horn flies.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics), 1995
Tabanids are among the most free-living adult flies which play a role as livestock pests. A single blood meal is used as a source of energy for egg production (100-1,000 eggs per meal), and females of certain species can oviposit before a blood meal is obtained (autogeny). Therefore, the maintenance of annual populations requires successful oviposition

Stable-flies and horn-flies (bloodsucking Muscidae)

1993
The Muscidae occur worldwide and include nearly 4000 species. The adults of most of them cannot bite and usually depend for their nutrition on a diet other than blood, but some among this huge number — about 50 species comprising the subfamily Stomoxyinae — are unusual muscids because they are able to bite with a specially adapted proboscis and feed by

Solar-Powered Electrocuting Trap for Controlling House Flies and Stable Flies (Diptera: Muscidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1993
A portable trap was constructed that was visually attractive to house flies, Musca domestica L., and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), outdoors. The trap was made of a white and yellow pyramid placed on top of a white vertical base that had large cutouts in each side.

New Technique for Capturing Stable Flies (Diptera: Muscidae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1974
In the secondary testing of new insecticides for the control of biting flies (cage test), laboratory-reared starved stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), are released into a cage with a treated bovine. After a 2-hr period, flies are recaptured and held 24 hr to determine mortality (Roberts, Jones & Gless, 1960, J. Econ. Ent.

Ovarian Maturation in Stable Flies: Inhibition by 20-Hydroxyecdysone

Science, 1971
The steroid 20-hydroxyecdysone when given by mouth inhibits ovarian maturation in the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.). by preventing lipid synthesis necessary for vitellogenesis in the developing oocyte.
