First survey of seasonal abundance and daily activity ofStomoxysspp. (Diptera: Muscidae) in Kamphaengsaen Campus, Nakornpathom province, Thailand

Ecodistribution des tabanidés, glossines et stomoxes le long d’un transect forêt primaire –village au Gabon

“…Aussi, le maximum de capture a été observé en forêt primaire et le minimum au village. Ces résultats de forte abondance observés en saison des pluies corroborent ceux obtenus par Masmeatathip et al (2006) et Mavoungou et al (2008) Les connaissances sur les insectes hématophages constituent un élément important dans la lutte anti-vectorielle, car ces insectes constituent un risque pour la santé humaine et animale. Mieux connaître la répartition des vecteurs, les risques de diffusion des pathogènes et leur évolution représente un enjeu majeur pour la mise en place d'une stratégie de contrôle de vecteurs en cas de transmission de pathogènes.…”

Phylogenetic analyses of mitochondrial and nuclear data in haematophagous flies support the paraphyly of the genus Stomoxys (Diptera: Muscidae)

“…Its geographic range also reaches the Palaearctic region on the occidental side. Moreover, it has also been recorded in a number of South-East Asian countries such as Thailand (Masmeatathip et al, 2006), Malaysia, Viet Nam, Taiwan, Borneo, Sumatra, and Java (Zumpt, 1973). Since both of our samples are from Thailand origin, they provide no information on the genetic diversity among populations of the species, but they reveal its evolutionary distinctiveness from other members of the genus Stomoxys.…”

Population Structure of <I>Stomoxys calcitrans</I> (Diptera: Muscidae) From Nine Regions of Thailand

“…S. calcitrans is found in many areas of Thailand, mainly in the central and northeastern regions (Sucharit andTumrasvin 1981, Echeverria et al 1983). Recent investigations have indicated that S. calcitrans is widespread throughout Thailand where domestic and wild animals are common (Masmeatathip et al 2006;V.M., unpublished data). Wind-assisted active migration (appetitive ßight) or passive wind-borne dispersion play a role in the movement patterns of S. calcitrans (Williams andRogers 1976, Hogsette andRuff 1985).…”

“…In Thailand, Þve species have been identiÞed in the genus Stomoxys with the most prevalent being S. calcitrans (Masmeatathip et al 2006). S. calcitrans is found in many areas of Thailand, mainly in the central and northeastern regions (Sucharit andTumrasvin 1981, Echeverria et al 1983).…”

“…Both sexes of all species are blood-feeding insects and considered signiÞcant economic pests and disease vectors of livestock and other warm-blooded animals in many parts of the world (Bruce and Decker 1958, Zumpt 1973, Masmeatathip et al 2006, Mullens et al 2006). Among these ßies, the cosmopolitan Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) is an aggressive, vicious biter, and will readily attack humans (Harwood andJames 1979, Wall andShearer 1997).…”
