Stomoxyini fly fauna of the Khao Yai National Park, Thailand
Journal Title: Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Disease - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Objective: To determine species diversity, relative population abundance and diurnal activity of the Stomoxyini flies at the Khao Yai National Park. Methods: Stomoxyini flies were collected bimonthly from February to June, 2012, using Vavoua traps. Species were identified based on morphological characteristics. Results: A total of 712 individuals of 3 genera and 6 species were captured including Stomoxys calcitrans (13.3%), Stomoxys indicus (0.7%), Stomoxys pullus (44.4%), Stomoxys uruma (19.7%), Haematobosca sanguinolenta (19.2%) and Haematostoma austeni (2.7%). Conclusions: This study provides information about Stomoxyini flies fauna at the Khao Yai National Park. These results may be useful for Stomoxyini fly control programs.
