Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Spatial distribution of flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) are important for predicting the prevalence of some disease which they are involved in them. There aren’t studies on ecology and biology of members Sarcophagidae family in Iran. The aim of this study was to find spatial distribution of these flies in Fars province of Iran during 2011 – 2012. The sampling procedure has been done in 71 sampling sites in 27 villages of nine counties of Fars province. Collecting of adult flies was done by means of bottle traps. A total of 1518 samples from 13 species of Sarcophagidae collected. Statistical analysis showed significant differences among sampled species based on their relative abundances (P value<0.05). Four species, S. aegyptica, S. argyrostoma, W. nuba, and S. africa were found in almost all parts of the province. Most of the collected species, nine of thirteen species, were found in southern part which shows the relative relation of Sarcophagid flies to temperate areas in lower altitudes. Results of this study revealed that S. variegata can be mentioned as representative of northern parts. Presence of nine other species, S. crassipalpis, S. flagellifera, S. dux, S. hirtipes, Sarcophila meridionalis, Ravinia pernix, W. magnifica and W. villeneuvi on any corps can refer its origin to south of the province.
