“…The flies were put in different plastic bottles using the SECTAB device (Christen et al, 2009). Tabanids that landed on the horse body (female, 18 years old, dark coloured) were carefully captured with a glass tube (4.5 cm diameter and 9 cm deep).…”

The seasonality and behaviour of tabanids were studied in the Planalto Serrano of Santa Catarina State, Brazil. From March 2007 to February 2009, a total of 915 tabanid flies from 15 species and six genera were collected on an individual horse. The number of tabanid species varied from zero during autumn/winter to ten in summer (December -February). Dichelacera alcicornis Wied. (62.1%) was the most abundant species followed by Chrysops fusciapex Lutz (6.7%) and C. patricia Pechuman (5.9%). Peak catches occurred during the summer (December-March). The landing behaviour varied by genera: Chrysops (100%) preferred the head, Dichelacera (56.3%) the flanks, and Poecilodera (100%), Acanthocera (100%), Tabanus (58.8%) and Fidena (48.7%) the limbs region. This is the first work on tabanids in the Santa Catarina State, Brazil.

“…Tabanids that landed on the horses were carefully captured with a glass tube (4.5 cm diameter, 9 cm length) [14]. The flies were placed in individual plastic bottles using a SECTAB device [22]. The collected insects were transported to the Laboratory of Hemoparasites and Vectors (Lages, Santa Catarina, Brazil) and killed with chloroform in flasks.…”

First record of Trypanosoma evansi DNA in Dichelacera alcicornis and Dichelacera januarii (Diptera: Tabanidae) flies in South America

Background Trypanosoma evansi infects a large number of wild and domestic animals and causes a spoliative disease known as surra. It is mechanically transmitted, mainly by biting flies of the genera Tabanus and Stomoxys. The detection of T. evansi DNA in the feeding apparatus of Dichelacera alcicornis and Dichelacera januarii from South America is reported, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time. Methods Tabanids were collected weekly from February 2018 to February 2019 from two sites. The feeding apparatus was removed and DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing were performed. Results A 205-base pair fragment of the variant surface protein RoTat 1.2 gene, confirmed by DNA sequencing, was amplified from the feeding apparatus of D. alcicornis and D. januarii. Conclusions This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first record of T. evansi DNA in South American tabanids. Graphical abstract
