“…In fact, Boulanger et al (2002) identified peptides with antimicrobial properties inside the stable fly, and these peptides probably interfered in the action of bacteria released by the EPN on the host hemocele. This information matches the findings of Moraes et al (2015), who also observed antimicrobial peptides inhibiting the action of Beauveria bassiana (Bals.) Vuill on immature stages of the stable fly.…”

“…Therefore, the EPNs may not have had a negative effect on the adult stable fly emergence rate, and its virulence may have been attenuated after being isolated from stable fly larvae. This decrease in entomopathogenic nematode virulence may be attributed to the action of antimicrobial peptides found in the intestine of stable fly larvae (Moraes et al, 2015), which may have affected the bacterial symbionts that EPNs harbor when they were still inside the S. calcitrans larvae from which they were isolated.…”

Stomoxys calcitrans is a hematophagous dipteran. Several agents are used in biological control, including entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). Bioassay I involved an evaluation of the effect of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora HP88 and Heterorhabditis baujardi LPP7 on S. calcitrans larvae in different periods of exposure. Groups of 10 larvae were placed in Petri dishes and 200 EPNs/larva were added, which were divided into groups according to the exposure times of 2, 4, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. The purpose of Bioassay II was to evaluate the efficacy of the EPNs in infecting S. calcitrans larvae when they were isolated from stable fly larvae in Bioassay I. Groups of 10 larvae were placed in Petri dishes and 200 EPNs/larva were added. In bioassay I, H. bacteriophora caused mortality rates of 51.7, 83.3 and 91.7% in 12, 24 and 48 hours, respectively, while H. baujardi caused mortality rates of 9.3 (12h), 35 (24h) and 35% (48h). In Bioassay II, H. bacteriophora and H. baujardi resulted in mortality rates of 35% and 25%, respectively. It was concluded that the longest exposure times presented the highest larval mortality and that EPNs isolated from S. calcitrans are not efficient in controlling the larvae fly.

“…Specifically, Moreas et al [220] showed that a strain of M. anisopliae killed all stable fly eggs in a laboratory bioassay, but did not have any impact on larvae or pupae. This can be explained by the proven antimicrobial activity of stable fly larvae against other entomopathogenic fungi [221,222]. López-Sánchez et al [223] showed that 7 days after exposure to isolates of M. anisopliae and B. bassiana collected from the soil of lodging pens of dairy production units, mortality of adult stable flies was >90%.…”

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), remains a significant economic pest globally in situations where intensive animal production or horticultural production provide a suitable developmental medium. Stable flies have been recorded as pests of livestock and humans since the late 1800s to early 1900s. Over 100 years of research has seen numerous methodologies used to control this fly, in particular to protect cattle from flies to minimise production losses. Reduced milk production in dairy cows and decreased weight gain in beef cattle account for losses in the US alone of > $2000 million annually. Rural lifestyles and recreation are also seriously affected. Progress has been made on many control strategies against stable fly over a range of chemical, biological, physical and cultural options. This paper reviews management options from both a historical and a technical perspective for controlling this pest. These include the use of different classes of insecticides applied to affected animals as toxicants or repellents (livestock and humans), as well as to substrates where stable fly larvae develop. Arthropod predators of stable flies are listed, from which potential biological control agents (e.g., wasps, mites, and beetles) are identified. Biopesticides (e.g., fungi, bacteria and plant-derived products) are also discussed along with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) against stable flies for several animal industries. A review of cultural and physical management options including trapping, trap types and methodologies, farm hygiene, scheduled sanitation, physical barriers to fly emergence, livestock protection and amendments added to animal manures and bedding are covered. This paper presents a comprehensive review of all management options used against stable flies from both a historical and a technical perspective for use by any entomologist, livestock producer or horticulturalist with an interest in reducing the negative impact of this pest fly.

“…Conidial germination of B. bassiana and M. anisopliae s.l. can be triggered by insect cuticle components (El-Sayed et al 1993), and house flies can also affect fungal persistence by both deactivating conidia with antifungal effects of excreta and vomit, and by physically removing conidia by grooming (Acharya et al 2015a;Moraes et al 2015). Behavioural modifications have been observed in house flies after fungal infection.…”

Pests and Vector-Borne Diseases in the Livestock Industry

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Worldwide the livestock industry, from small farmers to large industrialized farms, is affected by arthropods and arthropod-borne diseases at various scales, which cause huge losses and are a constraint to socio-economic development. Farmers make considerable efforts to prevent and control pest and disease incidence, often requiring the use of vaccines, if available, drugs and pesticides. Examples of current problems are presented, to set the stage for the detailed and state-of-the-art presentations of specific cases of livestock pests and their associated diseases and modern methods of prevention and control.
