Acetone may be useful for increasing catches of Stomoxys species under certain conditions or release rates Mihok et al, [8].the objective of the current study is to determine camel trypanosomosis prevalence in Al Kharj around camel farm, Saudi Arabia and to update the base line data available for the distribution of biting flies in the study area
The majority of the species belonged to the family Muscidae: 60% were Musca domestica and 17% Musca sorbens among which Stomoxys calcitrans (Figure 2) representing 6% of the capture, was the only biting fly species
Summary
Known as Surra, is one of the main diseases of camels. It is caused by Trypanosoma evansi, causing morbidity of up to 30% and mortality of around 3% Pacholek et al [1]. One of the efficient types of traps used for catching Stomoxys is called Nzi (Swahili name for fly) which is a very effective trap for stable flies and horse flies Mihok et al [5] Attractants such as carbon dioxide (CO2) may improve capture rates, but relative responses to different attractants may vary among species Schofield et al, [6]; Beresford and Sutcliffe [7]. Acetone may be useful for increasing catches of Stomoxys species under certain conditions or release rates Mihok et al, [8].the objective of the current study is to determine camel trypanosomosis prevalence in Al Kharj around camel farm, Saudi Arabia and to update the base line data available for the distribution of biting flies in the study area
