Spiroplasma litorale TN-1(T) (DSM 21781) was isolated from the gut of a green-eyed horsefly (Tabanus nigrovittatus), collected at Ocracoke Island in North Carolina in 1983. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium to facilitate the investigation of its biology.

Bartonella DNA was investigated in 104 horn flies (Haematobia spp.), 60 stable flies (Stomoxys spp.), 11 deer flies (Chrysops spp.), and 11 horse flies (Tabanus spp.) collected on cattle in California. Partial sequencing indicated B. bovis DNA in the horn fly pool and B. henselae type M DNA in one stable fly.

the inventory of tabanids of ivory coast includes both a review of historical datasets as well as the results of recent targeted field investigations in the north of ivory coast from 2000 to 2002 and banco forest in 2012. the family tabanidae  known as horse flies has been estimated to consist of 4,500 existing species throughout the world. four genera are known to be of medico-veterinary impor...

Spiroplasma helicoides TABS-2T (DSM 22551) was isolated from the gut of a horsefly (Tabanus abactor) collected near Ardmore, Oklahoma, USA, in 1987. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of this bacterium to facilitate the investigation of its biology and the comparative genomics among Spiroplasma species.

The female pupa was the only known preimaginal stage of Cryptotylus unicolor (Coscarón & Poi de Neiff 1996). From larvae collected on Pistia stratiotes (repollito de agua) in lagoons of Chaco geographic area, we obtained mature larvae, pupae and imagoes of both sexes of C. unicolor. From the same place we collected another larva that changed to the pupa stage in the laboratory, emerging finally...

Eleven species and three genera of tabanid flies were collected through surveys conducted at the Noto Peninsula, Honshu, Japan. Of these, Silvius dorsalis, Tabanus coquilletti, T. fulvimedioides as newly recorded from peninsula. Combined with previous records, a total 16 belonging to four are fauna Peninsula.
