A nationwide survey of the tabanid fauna of Cameroon. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2021
Abstract Background Tabanids are a neglected group of haematophagous dipterans despite containing 4434 species, regrouped in > 144 genera. They are mechanical vectors of important pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa of humans and domesticated and wild animals.

Spottier Targets Are Less Attractive to Tabanid Flies: On the Tabanid-Repellency of Spotty Fur Patterns

PLoS ONE, 2012
During blood-sucking, female members of the family Tabanidae transmit pathogens of serious diseases and annoy their host animals so strongly that they cannot graze, thus the health of the hosts is drastically reduced. Consequently, a tabanid-resistant coat with appropriate brightness, colour and pattern is advantageous for the host.

Virome of the tabanids from Russia

, 2023
Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have greatly enhanced our knowledge of virus biodiversity. Currently, viromes of haematophagous invertebrates, such as mosquitoes and ixodid ticks, are actively studied. Tabanidae (Diptera) is a widespread family, with members mostly known for their persistent haematophagous behavior. They transmit

Anticoagulant activities in salivary glands of tabanid flies [PDF]

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2002
Abstract Tabanid flies are telmophages (pool feeders), taking frequent and rapid bloodmeals from many different individual hosts. To investigate how they accomplish this intermittent feeding strategy, we examined the anticoagulant activities in salivary gland extracts (SGE) from 19 species representing six ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

The Sensory Ecology of Tsetse Flies: Neuroscience Perspectives on a Disease Vector

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 63, Issue 2, January 2026.
Tsetse flies (Glossina sp.) are important disease vectors that feed on vertebrate blood. Host‐seeking depends on a combination of sensory systems, from long‐range senses like olfaction and vision, to shorter‐range senses such as audition, mechanosensation, thermosensation and taste.

First Evidence of Bovine Leukemia Virus in Culicoides Biting Midges and the Stable Fly Stomoxys calcitrans Collected on Cattle Farms in Poland

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a cell‐associated retrovirus of cattle transmitted mainly through the transfer of infected lymphocytes, but the possible role of hematophagous insects in its epidemiology remains incompletely understood. This study investigated BLV DNA in field‐collected Culicoides biting midges and Stomoxys calcitrans from cattle farms ...

Vector‐Borne Hemopathogens in Goats: Molecular Identification and Genetic Diversity in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Tick‐borne diseases impose significant constraints on livestock, caused by various pathogens that affect health and reduce reproductive performance. The study aimed to determine the occurrence rates of hemopathogens, coinfection, and genetic diversity in native goats from four regions in Sulaymaniyah Province, Iraq.

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.
