“…2). Similar bimodality was observed in studies of stable ßy population dynamics in cattle pastures and feedlots in the central United States (Hall et al 1983, Lysyk 1993, Broce et al 2005, Taylor et al 2007, Taylor and Berkebile 2011. The seasonal peak of stable ßy emergence from the biosolid cake, mid-July, was 4 Ð 8 wk later than that observed at winter hay feeding sites in Kansas (Broce et al 2005) and Nebraska (Taylor and Berkebile 2011).…”

“…This emergence density is lower than the 1,581 Berkebile 2011) and1,667 (Broce et al 2005) stable ßies/m 2 reported emerging from round bale winter feeding sites and much lower than the 28,000 per m 2 reported for a dairy environment (Patterson and Morgan 1986). Despite the lower ßy density, the greater surface area of biosolid cake storage sites relative to typical round bale winter feeding sites makes them potentially important contributors to local ßy populations.…”

Species diversity and seasonal abundance of muscoid flies (Diptera: Muscidae) developing in biosolid cake (dewatered biosolids) stored at a wastewater treatment facility in northeastern Kansas were evaluated. Emergence traps were deployed 19 May through 20 October 2009 (22 wk) and 27 May through 18 November 2010 (25 wk). In total, 11,349 muscoid flies were collected emerging from the biosolid cake. Stable flies (Stomoxys calcitrans (L.)) and house flies (Musca domestica (L.)), represented 80 and 18% of the muscoid flies, respectively. An estimated 550 stable flies and 220 house flies per square-meter of surface area developed in the biosolid cake annually producing 450,000 stable flies and 175,000 house flies. Stable fly emergence was seasonally bimodal with a primary peak in mid-July and a secondary peak in late August. House fly emergence peaked with the first stable fly emergence peak and then declined gradually for the remainder of the year. House flies tended to emerge from the biosolid cake sooner after its deposition than did stable flies. In addition, house fly emergence was concentrated around midsummer whereas stable fly emergence began earlier in the spring and continued later into the fall. Biosolid age and temperature were the most important parameters affecting emergence for house flies and stable flies, whereas precipitation was not important for either species. This study highlights the importance of biosolid cake as a larval developmental habitat for stable flies and house flies.

“…Tal resultado difere do encontrado por Taylor & Berkebile (2011) ao avaliarem padrões espaciais e temporais de larvas de S. calcitrans em fardo de feno, nos quais foi encontrada uma razão sexual de 1:1. O desvio na razão sexual, com predomínio de fêmeas em torta de filtro e palha com vinhaça, pode favorecer a ocorrência de explosões populacionais, uma vez que a maior proporção de fêmeas tende a aumentar as taxas intrínsecas de crescimento da população, já que um maior número de fêmeas possibilita maior taxa de oviposição (Zump 1973).…”

“…A mosca-dos-estábulos, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), é uma importante praga de bovinos confinados e criados extensivamente (Hall et al 1982, Taylor & Berkebile 2011. Devido a seu hábito hematófago e o consequente incômodo causado aos animais, infestações por esta mosca podem afetar o ganho de peso e a produção de leite (Campbell et al 2001), com perdas anuais superiores a US$ 2 bilhões à bovinocultura nos Estados Unidos e US$ 100 milhões no Brasil (Grisi et al 2002).…”

Abundância de Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) em diferentes subprodutos canavieiros

et al. 2013

Um aumento na abundância de Stomoxys calcitrans tem sido observado em áreas de produção sucroalcooleira devido aos subprodutos orgânicos resultantes desta atividade. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a abundância desta espécie em diferentes subprodutos da cana-de-açúcar. De janeiro a dezembro de 2011, a abundância de S. calcitrans foi monitorada em quatro subprodutos: bagaço, palha, torta de filtro (TF) e palha com vinhaça (PV), em uma usina sucroalcooleira no município de Angélica, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Mensalmente, 20 armadilhas de emergência foram distribuídas em cada substrato, mantidas ativas por quatro semanas. Durante todo o período de estudo, 4.049 espécimes de S. calcitrans foram coletados nos diferentes substratos, representando 9,22% do total de dípteros capturados nas armadilhas. Os quatro subprodutos amostrados apresentaram significativas diferenças em relação à abundância de S. calcitrans, sendo maior na TF (67,20%) e na PV (29,19%). Picos de abundância foram observados em junho (PV) e outubro (PV e TF). Maior produtividade de S. calcitrans foi observada na TF (55,8 moscas/mII) e na PV (24,2 moscas/mII), com produção média mensal de S. calcitrans na usina estimada em 37 mil e 24 milhões, respectivamente. A elevada capacidade de reprodução da S. calcitrans em subprodutos da usina explica as explosões populacionais desta espécie, ocorridas recentemente em fazendas pecuárias próximas a usinas sucroalcooleiras.

“…Round bale technology makes it more convenient for producers to feed pastured and rangeland cattle during winter months, but also increases amounts of wasted hay. This wasted hay mixes with cattle manure deposited at feeding sites and creates an ideal development medium for larval stable ßies (Broce et al 2005, Talley et al 2009, Taylor and Berkebile 2011.…”

A granular formulation of novaluron (Novaluron 0.2G, 0.2% [AI]), a newer benzoylphenyl urea insecticide, was evaluated for its efficacy in controlling the larval stage of horn flies, Haematobia irritans (L.); house flies, Musca domestica L.; and stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), in cow manure. Various rates and insecticide placement locations (top, middle, and bottom of manure) were evaluated in this study and all combinations of these variables reduced adult emergence of all three species when compared with the untreated controls. The presence of deformed pupae indicated that novaluron had an insect growth regulator effect on the developing fly larvae. Top, middle, or bottom application rates of 0.125, 0.195, 0.25, and 0.375 g novaluron onto manure samples, reduced adult horn fly emergence by > 90%. Middle and bottom application rates of 0.195, 0.25, and 0.375 g novaluron reduced adult house fly emergence >93%. All rates and placement combinations resulted in >98% reduction of adult stable fly emergence. The level of control efficacy observed against these three fly species along with the ease of use of a granular formulation, make this product an ideal candidate for use in an integrated livestock pest management program.
