Abstract

The paper provides literature review on the relationship among climatic conditions, ecological characteristics of the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans L.) and the observed spread of lumpy skin disease across the Russian Federation in 2015-2019. This study was carried out to gain an insight into a role of this potential vector in LSDV transmission. Data analysis shows that the flight activity of the stable fly mainly fits into the seasonal pattern of LSD outbreaks. However, there were outbreaks that occurred outside the period of the stable fly flight activity, pointing to other routes of transmission.

Highlights

The vital activity of representatives of many families of dipterous insects is inextricably linked with agricultural animals, while a number of species cause significant economic damage to livestock
We systematize the literature data on the study of the biological characteristics of Stomoxys calcitrans L. and compare it with epizootological data on cattle lumpy skin dermatitis (LSD) in the Russian Federation for the period 2015-2019 in order to determine the role of this carrier in the transmission of the cattle LSD virus in the climatic conditions of the Russian Federation
A compilation of information was made regarding the entomology of the autumn stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans L.), the spread of lumpy skin dermatitis of cattle in the territory of the Russian Federation in the period 2015-2019, and climatic conditions in

Summary

Introduction

The vital activity of representatives of many families of dipterous insects is inextricably linked with agricultural animals, while a number of species cause significant economic damage to livestock. One of these representatives is the autumn stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans), which is widely distributed in all landscape and geographical zones of the Russian Federation and has an important medical and epidemiological significance as a hematophage and a carrier of human and animal diseases. We systematize the literature data on the study of the biological characteristics of Stomoxys calcitrans L. and compare it with epizootological data on cattle lumpy skin dermatitis (LSD) in the Russian Federation for the period 2015-2019 in order to determine the role of this carrier in the transmission of the cattle LSD virus in the climatic conditions of the Russian Federation
