O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o efeito in vivo do óleo de citronela, no controle do carrapato bovino [Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus], da mosca-dos-chifres (Haematobia irritans), da mosca-dos-estábulos (Stomoxys calcitrans) e da mosca doméstica (Musca domestica). Foram utilizadas 15 vacas da raça Holandês, distribuídas em três grupos de cinco animais cada um. Os tratamentos foram: controle negativo, amitraz a 0,025% e óleo de citronela a 4%. Para avaliação foram contadas fêmeas ingurgitadas de carrapato e moscas antes (média dos dias -3, -2, -1) e após a aplicação dos produtos nos dias 7, 14, 21 e 28; também foram coletadas amostras de sangue. Em 28 dias, houve necessidade de se reaplicar o amitraz e o fitoterápico para controlar a infestação com carrapato. A relação entre o número de aplicações foi de 1:2,5 para o amitraz e o óleo de citronela, respectivamente. A eficácia no controle do carrapato foi de 71,8 e 30,9% para o amitraz e óleo de citronela a 4%, respectivamente, na média pós-tratamento. Verificou-se baixo controle de moscas no tratamento constituído pelo fitoterápico. Não houve diferença entre os tratamentos para os parâmetros sanguíneos.

AbstractFive species of Trichomalopsis Crawford associated with Haematobia irritans (L.) (horn fly), Musca domestica L. (house fly), Musca autumnalis DeGeer (face fly), and Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (stable fly) in North America are reviewed. The species Trichomalopsis americana (Gahan), Trichomalopsis dubia (Ashmead), Trichomalopsis sarcophagae (Gahan), Trichomalopsis tachinae (Gahan), and Trichomalopsis viridescens (Walsh) are described, keyed, and differentiated from other recognized North American species. Lectotypes are designated for T. dubia, T. sarcophagae, and T. tachinae. Distribution and host associations are recorded for the species. Trichomalopsis americana and T. viridescens are newly recorded as parasitoids of M. domestica; T. dubia and T. sarcophagae are also newly recorded as parasitoids of Hypoderma lineatum (Villers) (common cattle grub) and Hypoderma bovis (L.) (northern cattle grub), respectively. Some previously published host associations and parasitoid identifications are corrected based on examination of voucher specimens. The known biology of each species is reviewed. The presence of Trichomalopsis albipilosa (Gahan) in North America is considered to be erroneous based on a misidentification of T. americana.

And Behavior

The biology and behavior of Pachylister caffer Erichson were studied to determine the developmental history of this cattle manure-attracted, predaceous beetle and to evaluate its potential for controlling the horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.). Females deposit eggs singly 0.5–3.0 cm deep in soil beneath cattle manure. Embryonic incubation averaged 3.9 days, larval development (two instars) 37.3 days, and pupal development 16.4 days. Development from oviposition to adult averaged 57.6 days. Prey consumption of horn fly; stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), and house fly, Musca domestica L., pupae by P. caffer larvae was compared. Although the total weight of all prey species consumed was similar, the number of prey consumed and the development time of beetle larvae varied with prey species. Horn fly pupae accounted for 65.6% of the prey consumed, whereas stable fly and house fly pupae accounted for 26.9% and 7.5%, respectively.

AbstractFive species of Muscidae were found to be commonly associated with dairy heifers in three areas in southern England. The biting flies Haematobosca stimulans (Mg.) and Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) were relatively rare and fed from the back, flanks and legs. The horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.), was present in highest numbers; it rested on the back and fed on the legs, belly and occasionally on the teats. Musca autumnalis Deg. was found mainly on the head and had a restricted season. Hydrotaea irritans (Fall.) had a marked diurnal variation in activity, being most abundant in the morning and evening. It was found on the head but predominantly on the belly and teats. When judged by its site preference on cattle, it is the fly most likely to be involved in the transmission of summer mastitis.

Crop filling and crop emptying by the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans L.

Stable Fly

In Stomoxys the immediate destination of sugar or blood is the midgut, and not the crop. The filling of the crop with blood appears to involve several factors, including age, ambient temperature, temperature of the blood meal, disturbance of the fly, and interrupted feedings. In all experiments the sex of the fly had no effect on crop filling. The age of the fly did not influence crop filling when flies fed by piercing the skin. The crop empties of blood in 10–15 min. Rate of crop emptying of sugar solutions depended upon the molarity of solutions consumed.
