“…Los horarios para los conteos recomendados son las horas más frescas del día, que permitan la observación con iluminación natural, además debe considerarse que en horarios más cálidos del día una alta proporción de estas moscas se desplaza hacia las partes bajas del abdomen de los animales, lo que dificulta el conteo, y éste debe realizarse siempre a la misma hora. En la mayoría de los trabajos publicados los recuentos se realizan en horarios comprendidos entre las 06:00 a las 12:00 h (16,38,39) . En otros estudios, las cuantas se han realizado de 15:30 y las 19:00 h (36) .…”

La mosca de los cuernos Haematobia irritans es un ectoparásito hematófago cosmopolita de gran importancia en la ganadería. En México, H. irritans se distribuye por todo el país y se encuentra durante todo el año. La fluctuación de la población de H. irritans está relacionada con las condiciones climáticas. A pesar de su amplia distribución, los efectos sobre la salud animal y su impacto negativo en la producción de carne y leche, existen pocos datos sobre su infestación y su epidemiología es limitada. Este trabajo es una revisión sobre la situación actual de H. irritans en bovinos en México, su impacto económico, métodos de control, perspectivas y oportunidades de investigación.

The horn fly, Haematobia irritans irritans (L.), is one of the most important external parasites of cattle in North America and elsewhere. Horn fly adults have an intimate association with cattle, their primary host. With their often-high numbers and by feeding up to 38 times per day per fly, horn flies stress cattle. The resulting productivity loss is valued at more than 2.3 billion USD in the United States. Insecticides are commonly used to mitigate direct injury from feeding and indirect injury from disease transmission. This paper discusses horn fly biology, distribution, and management. Emphasis is on promising new approaches in novel insecticides, repellents, biological control, vaccines, animal genetics, and sterile insect technology that will lead to effective preventative tactics and the integration of smart technologies with horn fly management. We conclude with a discussion of research needs necessary to shift horn fly integrated pest management to an emphasis on preventative tactics and the precision use of reactive techniques.

Filth fly pests have a substantial impact on livestock production; annual losses from filth flies were estimated at over US$1.5 billion in 1981. Knowing filth fly management and animal production have changed significantly over the past 40 yr, our objective is to lay the foundation for the development of a transdisciplinary integrated pest management (IPM) approach that considers the economics of controlling flies in animal production, with most of the examples provided towards beef cattle production systems. By performing an in-depth literature review, it is our goal to highlight losses and expenditures associated with the damages caused by these flies, discuss current management strategies for the system, and propose industry needs in terms of research gaps and producer education to enhance sustainable livestock production. Immediate industry needs include: (1) developing dynamic economic thresholds incorporating animal welfare, economics, impacts of chemical use, and climate-related responses; (2) improving monitoring methods to improve surveillance efforts for flies as a system and how all types collectively shape the system; and (3) updating economic loss assessments to account for losses due to animal defensive behaviors, reduced feed efficiency, and unplanned expenditures. While we focus on the beef cattle system in the United States, this paper is meant to provide an argument for research in worldwide livestock production (e.g., dairy, poultry, swine, and small ruminant).
