Multimodal interactions in Stomoxys navigation reveal synergy between olfaction and vision [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Stomoxys flies exhibit an attraction toward objects that offer no rewards, such as traps and targets devoid of blood or nectar incentives. This behavior provides an opportunity to develop effective tools for vector control and monitoring.

Mechanical Transmission of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus by Stomoxys spp. (Stomoxys calsitrans, Stomoxys sitiens, Stomoxys indica), Diptera: Muscidae [PDF]

Animals, 2020
Samples collected for PCR from recipient animals tested positive in 5 out of 6 cases, while the virus was isolated from 4 of 6 animals. The clinical signs exhibited by recipient animals were mostly moderate in nature with only one severe case.

Evaluation of the wing cell contour to distinguish between Stomoxys bengalensis and Stomoxys sitiens (Diptera: Muscidae) using outline-based morphometrics [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne Diseases
The blood-sucking flies of the genus Stomoxys Geoffroy, 1762 (Diptera: Muscidae) are significant ectoparasites that can cause irritation and transmit pathogens to both animals and humans.

Species Diversity and Seasonal Abundance of Stomoxyinae (Diptera: Muscidae) and Tabanid Flies (Diptera: Tabanidae) on a Beef Cattle and a Buffalo Farm in Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Southern Thailand [PDF]

Insects
This study investigated species diversity and seasonal abundance of Stomoxyinae and tabanid flies, which are significant pests and vectors of animal pathogens, on a beef cattle and a buffalo farm in Nakhon Si Thammarat province, southern Thailand. During

Opportunistic pathogens are prevalent across the culturable exogenous and endogenous microbiota of stable flies captured at a dairy facility [PDF]

Veterinary Research
Stable flies in the genus Stomoxys are highly abundant, blood-feeding pests on dairy farms; however, their role in the carriage and potential transmission of pathogens is largely understudied.

Seasonal Dynamics and Associated Risk Factors of Bovine Trypanosomosis and Its Vector in Selected Districts of Gamo and Gofa Zones, Southern Ethiopia. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
The median PCV of poor body‐conditioned animals is below 20 (anaemic) compared to corresponding body‐condition animals. Black‐ and red‐coloured animals are more significantly affected by trypanosomosis than white‐coloured animals. Multivariable logistic regression revealed more about contributory factors than univariable logistic regression.

Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Diversity of Stomoxys spp. (Diptera: Muscidae) and diurnal variations of activity of Stomoxys indicus and S. Calcitrans in a farm, in Wang Nam Khiao District, Nakhon ratchasima Province, Thailand [PDF]

Parasite, 2012
A study of species diversity of Stomoxys spp. and diurnal variations of activity of the most abundant was performed during a one year period at a local dairy cattle farm in Wang Nam Khiao District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand.

The genome sequence of the Stable Fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual specimen of Stomoxys calcitrans (Stable Fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Muscidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,070.90 megabases.

Stable flies are bona fide carriers of mastitis-associated bacteria [PDF]

mSphere
Hematophagous Stomoxys (stable) fly populations in dairy barns are sustained by a constant availability of cattle hosts and manure, which serve as major reservoirs of both zoonotic and opportunistic bacterial pathogens.
