Species of Diptera of Medical, Sanitary and Veterinary Importance Collected from Buffalo and Cattle Feces in Southern Goiás, Brazil
T he dipterous species collected from buffalo dung were: A. scabra with 40 specimens (6.5%); B. debilis with 56 (8.9%); B. quadristigma with 49 (7.8%); C. pararescita with 151 (24.0%); Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) with 51 (8.1%); Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) with 10 (1.6%); Oxysarcodexia thornax (Walker) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) with 70 (11.2%); Palaeosepsis sp. with 107 (17.0%); Ravinia belforti Prado & Fonseca (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) with 63 (10.0%); and Sarcophagula occidua with 31 (4.9%)
In this management system, the manure accumulated in containers, in quantities proportional to the numbers of amount of animals, forms an excellent medium for several species of dipterous insects to breed and develop in rural environments (Armitage, 1986; Cunningham, 1985)
Summary
Species of Diptera of Medical, Sanitary and Veterinary Importance Collected from Buffalo and Cattle Feces in Southern Goiás, Brazil. T his study had the objective of determining the dipterous species present in buffalo and bovine dung, collected in southern Goiás between May 2003 and June 2004. T he dipterous species collected from cattle dung were: Archisepsis scabra (Loew) (Diptera: Sepsidae) with 310 specimens (9.0%); Brontaea debilis (Williston) (Diptera: Muscidae) with 127 (3.7%); Brontaea quadristigma (T homson) (Diptera: Muscidae) with 138 (4.0%); Cyrtoneurina pararescita Couri (Diptera: Muscidae) with 19 (0.5%); Palaeosepsis sp.
