The knowledge of Dexiinae and Tachinidae diversity in the Neotropical Region, in contrast to other regions, e.g., the Palaearctic Region, is in a poor condition. The history of these taxa has gradually increased since the 18th Century from the works of European and North American authors such as Johan C. Fabricius, Christian R.W. Wiedemann, Jean B. Robineau-Desvoidy, Pierre J.-M. Macquart, Jacques M.F. Bigot, Francis Walker, Victor von Röeder, Ermanno Giglio-Tos, Friedrich M. Brauer and Julius E. Bergenstamm, Frederik M. van der Wulp, Charles H. Curran, John M. Aldrich, Charles H.T. Townsend, Henry J. Reinhard and William R. Thompson. It was only in the first half of the 20th Century that scientists born or established in South America began to enter tachinidology. Dipterists like Jean Brèthes and Everardo E. Blanchard from Argentina, Rául E. Cortés Peña from Chile and José H. Guimarães from Brazil, are the most memorable names for, not only to Neotropical Dexiinae, but, indeed for the whole family. Herein, a brief chronological review of tachinidology, with emphasis on Dexiinae and based on a literature review, is given. The history is divided into four periods: the pre-Linnaean period of the 16th and 17th Centuries, the 18th Century, the 19th Century and the first half of the 20th Century. After the first half of 20th Century, the emphasis is focused on European and North American dipterists with an overview of their contributions on Dexiinae taxonomy. Later, with presence of the South American dipterists, the emphasis is directed to them. Then a few notes are given on the Czech Dominik Bilimek, a poorly known collector from the 19th Century and Fritz Plaumann, a well-known German immigrant who collected in Brazil during the earlier 20th Century. Finally, some notes and perspectives about the 21st Century dexiinidology from the Neotropics is briefly discussed.

Abstract Roraima is a Brazilian state located in the northern portion of the Amazon basin, with few studies regarding its biodiversity. The Ecological Station of Maracá (Brazil, state of Roraima) harbors the third largest Brazilian pluvial island and is composed of a transitional landscape of savanna and Amazon rainforest components. Despite its ecological importance and strategic localization, few studies covered the dipterofauna of this locality. An updated checklist addressing 41 families of true flies (Diptera) occurring in Roraima is presented based on the literature and the specimens collected during a field expedition that occurred in 2015. This checklist brings several improvements such as new records of 165 taxa to the state of Roraima, 29 taxa to Brazil, and 259 morphotypes, mostly likely representing undescribed species.

This work reports the larvicidal action of two formulations of Amanita muscaria against Musca domestica. Two methods of extraction were tested: an aqueous extract from dried, powdered basidiomes (DPB); and an extract from fresh basidiomes liquefied in water (FLB). The mortality caused by the DPB extract varied from 14.67% to 100%. The efficiency of the FLB extract varied from 10.67% to 89.33%. The mean lethal concentration (LC50) of the DPB extract was approximately 1,931.02 ppm, whereas the LC50 for the FLB extract was about 30%. The extracted substances from these methods did not interfere with the development period of immatures and did not influence pupal weight. These results show the potential of A. muscaria extracts for controlling M. domestica.

El objetivo principal del presente trabajo fue obtener cultivos celulares primarios derivados de tejido embrionario de Sarconesiopsis magellanica (Diptera: Calliphoridae), mosca importante por sus aplicaciones en el establecimiento del intervalo post-mortem. Se evaluaron siete medios de cultivo (Grace, Grace/L15, MM, VP12, MM/VP12, Eagle y Schneider), suplementados con 20% de suero fetal bovino. Se observó adhesión, crecimiento y proliferación celular en los medios L15, Schneider y Grace/L15, lográndose mejores resultados en los dos últimos. La obtención de la monocapa confluente, se presentó en un tiempo promedio de doce días, después de realizados los explantes. El patrón de crecimiento de los cultivos primarios mostró la presencia de vesículas con células adheridas a sus paredes, las cuales, ayudaron a la formación de la monocapa confluente. La morfología celular predominante en la monocapa correspondió a formas fibroblastoides y, en menor proporción, a epitelioides, mostrando las primeras una apariencia similar a células nerviosas. Adicionalmente, se registraron en los primeros días de los cultivos primarios, especialmente, en algunos conglomerados de células, movimientos contráctiles semejantes a los realizados por células musculares. Estos cultivos celulares primarios derivados de S. mangellanica representan, potencialmente, sustratos adecuados para realizar ensayos posteriores de susceptibilidad a infección con arbovirus y parásitos.The present work was aimed at obtaining and characterizing cell cultures from Sarconesiopsis magellanica embryonic tissue (Diptera: Calliphoridae). This fly is important by its applications in the establishment of post-mortem interval. This study evaluated seven culture medium (Grace, Grace/L15, MM, VP12, MM/VP12, Eagle and Schneider), supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum. The adhesion, cell growth and proliferation were observed in L15 medium, Schneider and Grace/L15, achieving better results in the last two. The confluent monolayer was present in an average of twelve days after that the explants were made. The growth pattern of the primary cultures showed the presence of vesicles with cells adhering to its walls, which helped to form a confluent monolayer. The predominant cell morphology in monolayer correspond to fibroblastoid a lesser extent to epithelioid, showing the first similar to nerve cells. Additionally, there was in the early days of primary cultures, especially in some clusters of cells, contractile movement, similar to those made by muscle cells. These primary cell cultures derived from S. magellanica represent potentially suitable substrates for further testing of susceptibility to infection with arboviruses and parasites.

Introducción. El tracoma es la primera causa infecciosa de ceguera. En 2008 había 1'300.000 ciegos por su causa y 8 millones de personas tenían lesiones oculares que podrían conducirlos a la ceguera. En América Latina se ha documentado su presencia en Brasil, Guatemala y México. Objetivo. Informar por primera vez la presencia de tracoma en Colombia, en indígenas del departamento del Vaupés. Materiales y métodos. En 2003 y 2006 se visitaron las comunidades makú de San Joaquín y Santa Catalina, a 5 km de Brasil, y entre 2007 y 2009, las de San Gerardo, San Gabriel y Nuevo Pueblo, a 35 km de las anteriores. Resultados. En 2006, se examinaron 114 personas en San Joaquín y Santa Catalina. Se diagnosticó clínicamente tracoma en 21 (18,4%), 15 de ellas (13,2%) menores de 15 años. Se detectaron todas las fases de la enfermedad. Tres mujeres tenían opacidad corneal con notoria disminución de la agudeza visual. En las tres últimas comunidades se detectaron tres mujeres con tracoma avanzado, con opacidad corneal y ceguera. La vivienda precaria, la carencia de agua potable y de sistemas adecuados de disposición de los excrementos, y la abundancia de moscas domésticas del género Hippelates, constituyen factores de riesgo para la transmisión del tracoma. Discusión. El tracoma existe en Colombia, con incidencia frecuente en las comunidades estudiadas. Su localización definida hace posible su eliminación en programas de salud pública. Es necesario realizar una búsqueda del tracoma en otras comunidades indígenas del Vaupés con condiciones de vida similares.

Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) es una mosca necrófaga de importancia médica y forense, utilizada en terapia larval y su desarrollo biológico es usado para establecer el intervalo postmortem. Para criar esta especie, generalmente, se recurre a tejidos animales que al descomponerse producen malos olores y contaminación. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las características del ciclo biológico de L. sericata empleando cuatro dietas diferentes a base de hígado de res (H), leche en polvo (LP), pescado (P) e hígado en polvo (HP). El estudio, se inició a partir de huevos tomados de una colonia de L. sericata, previamente establecida, bajo condiciones de laboratorio (24-27°C, 60% HR, fotoperiodo 12 horas luz). La dieta con la que se obtuvo la mayor duración en el ciclo de vida de L. sericata, desde huevo hasta pupa, fue LP y el menor tiempo de desarrollo de la especie, se estableció en la dieta HP. Por otro lado, la menor longevidad de las moscas, se consiguió en la dieta H; sin embargo, en este sustrato alimenticio, los insectos alcanzaron un tamaño mayor. De manera general, se registró un porcentaje mayor de hembras en las dietas LP y P. Potencialmente, las tres dietas sintéticas evaluadas presentaron características de sustratos alimenticios, óptimos para la cría de la mosca, en condiciones de laboratorio.Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a necrophagous fly of medical and forensic importance used in larval therapy, being its biological development important to establish the post postmortem interval. Animal tissues are generally employed to breed this specie, but these substrates, while decomposing produce bad odors and contamination. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the life cycle of L. sericata using four different diets: beef liver (H), milk powder (LP), fish (P) and liver powder (HP). This study started from eggs taken from a colony of L. sericata previously established under laboratory conditions (24-27°C, 60% RH, photoperiod 12 hours light). The highest duration in the life cycle from egg to pupa was obtained on the diet LP, and the shortest developmental time was established on the diet HP. On the other hand the shortest longevity of adult flies was attained on the diet H. However, in this food substrate the flies were larger than on the others diets. In general, a higher percentage of females was registered with diets LP and P. Potentially, the three synthetic diets evaluated, revealed characteristics of optimal substrates for the breeding of the flies under laboratory conditions.

Nos sistemas modernos de produção de ovos, as aves poedeiras são alojadas em altas densidades, acumulando esterco sob as gaiolas. Esse substrato é excelente para o desenvolvimento de moscas sinantrópicas. Sendo assim, se torna essencial a realização de levantamentos de moscas nesses locais, a fim de se planejar uma melhor estratégia de controle. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a entomofauna e a sazonalidade das espécies de dípteros da granja Crisdan, em São João da Boa Vista, São Paulo, Brasil. No período de janeiro de 2001 a dezembro de 2002 foram capturados 1.012.595 exemplares utilizando-se armadilha "jug-trap". As espécies identificadas foram: Drosophila repleta (Wollaston, 1858), Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758), Ophyra spp., Hermetria illucens (Linnaeus, 1758), Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) e Sepsidae. Com maior freqüência D. repleta e M. domestica representaram 99,47% dos dípteros capturados. A elevação dos índices pluviométricos em alguns meses dos anos influenciaram a amostragem de dípteros (PModern production systems accommodate broody hens in high densities, leading to the accumulation of excrement under the cages. This substrate is excellent for the development of sinantropic flies. Thus, the accomplishment of surveys in these places becomes essential, in order to plan better strategies of control. The present work aimed at studying the entomofauna and the seasonality of the species of dipterous present in the Crisdan poultry house located in the Municipality of São João da Boa Vista, the State of São Paulo, Brazil.

Resumen: Introducción: la falta de estudios en Venezuela que demostraran la importancia de moscas de interés médico como vectores mecánicos de enteroparásitos, motivó la realización de este trabajo descriptivo transversal, con muestra intencional, donde con trampas plásticas y ecológicas se capturaron adultos de moscas. Materiales y método: los ejemplares eran inactivados, para luego ser clasificadas por género, lavados con solución salina 0,85%, separados de la solución, y luego esta era centrifugada 10 minutos a 3.000 rpm, para posteriormente utilizar el pelet, el cual se montaba entre lámina y laminilla para observar el sedimento al microscopio. Resultados: se lograron capturar 1.061 adultos de moscas, los cuales correspondían taxonómicamente a los géneros: Phaenicia sp (29,2%), Blepharicnema splendens (6,4%), Cochliomyia hominivorax (3,8%), Musca domestica (3,4%), Sarcophaga sp; (3%), Cochliomyia macellaria (2,5%) y la sumatoria de otras especies (51,7%), tal que, de más de siete especies de moscas, se logró identificar los enteroparásitos Blastocystis sp, Endolimax nana, Entamoeba hartmanni, Entamoeba histolytica/dispar, Entamoeba coli, Iodamoeba butschlii, Pentatrichomonas sp (Trichomonas sp), mientras que los únicos helmintos conseguidos fueron las uncinarias (Anquilostomideos). Conclusiones: la contaminación enteroparasitaria de más de siete especies de moscas, con siete especies de enteroparásitos diagnosticados, resalta el papel transmisor de estos dípteros en el ciclo de los parásitos entéricos. Abstract: Introduction: the lack of studies in Venezuela that demonstrate the importance of flies of medical interest as mechanical vectors of enteroparasites, motivated the realization of this crosssectional descriptive work, with intentional sample, where with plastic and ecological traps, adults of flies were captured. Materials and methods: the specimens were inactivated, to be classified by gender, washed with 0.85% saline, separated from the solution and then centrifuged 10 min at 3000 rpm, to later use the pellet, which was mounted between lamina and lamella to observe the sediment under a microscope. Results: 1.061 adults of flies were captured, which corresponded taxonomically to the genera: Phaenicia sp (29,2%), Blepharicnema splendens (6,4%), Cochliomyia hominivorax (3,8%), Musca domestica (3,4), Sarcophaga sp; (3%), Cochliomyia macellaria (2,5%) and the sum of other species (51,7%), such that from more than seven species of flies were able to identify the enteroparasites: Blastocystis sp, Endolimax nana, Entamoeba hartmanni , Entamoeba histolytica/dispar, Entamoeba coli, Iodamoeba butschlii, Pentatrichomonas sp (Trichomonas sp), while the only helminths obtained were Uncinarias (Anquilostomideos). Conclusions: the enteroparasitic contamination of more than seven species of flies with seven species of enteroparasites diagnosed highlights the role of these dipterous transmitters in the cycle of enteric parasites.

O potencial da armadilha adultrap® para captura de dípteros muscoides foi avaliado por comparação com a armadilha descrita por Ferreira (1978) e adaptada por Fraga e d' Almeida (2005). Iscas de sardinha foram utilizadas em ambas as armadilhas. O teste de Wilcoxon para duas amostras não pareadas foi empregado para comparação das armadilhas. Capturou-se um total de 8.909 dípteros muscoides, sendo 57,51% desses pela adultrap®, mas sem diferença significativa (p = 0,147) entre as armadilhas. Do total de sarcofagídeos, califorídeos, muscídeos e de outras famílias de dípteros muscoides 79, 68, 29 e 31%, respectivamente, foram capturados pela adultrap® com diferença estatística (p = 0,002) entre as armadilhas apenas para a família Sarcophagidae. Os resultados da adultrap® foram similares ao modelo modificado por Fraga e d' Almeida (2005). Entretanto, adultrap® foi mais eficiente na captura de dípteros da família Sarcophagidae.The potential of adultrap® for capture of muscoid dipterans was evaluated by comparison with the trap described by Ferreira (1978) and adapted by Fraga and d' Almeida (2005). Sardine baits were used in both traps. The Wilcoxon two-sample test was used for trap comparison. A total of 8,909 muscoid dipterans was caught, 57.51% of them by the adultrap®. However, there was no significant difference (p = 0.147) between trap efficiency. From the total of sarcophagids, calliphorids, muscids and other families of muscoid flies, 79, 68, 29 and 31% were caught by adultrap®, respectively. Statistical difference (p = 0.002) between traps was found only for Sarcophagidae. The results of adultrap® were similar to the model used by Fraga and d'Almeida (2005), thus validating its use for seasonal fluctuation studies of muscoid dipterans. However, adultrap® has the highest efficiency in capturing Sarcophagidae flies.

De 112 fezes bovinas recolhidas de cada raça, observou-se que em Nelore, 107 (95,5%) massas fecais apresentavam pupas de dípteros, e apenas 72 (64,3%) tinham pupas de H. irritans; na raça Pantaneira, das 105 (94,0%) massas fecais com pupas de dípteros apenas 60 (53,6%) apresentavam H. irritans. Os resultados das medições comparativas dos parâmetros comprimento, largura, diâmetro, altura e volume entre as massas fecais demonstraram que não houve diferença significativa (P>0,05). O número de pupas de dípteros coletadas nas massas fecais de bovinos da raça Pantaneira (n=2892) foi maior do que em Nelore (n=1715) (PThis study was carried out at Nhumirim farm, property of Embrapa-Centro de Pesquisa Agropecuária do Pantanal, Corumbá, MS, Brazil, from 11/93 to 05/94, with manure samples of Nelore and Pantaneira breeds collected to compare the number of horn flies (Haematobia irritans) on manure samples of both bovine breeds. Out of the 112 bovine samples collected from each breed, 72 (64.3%) Nelore manure samples showed pupa of H. irritans; in Pantaneira, out of 105 (94%) manure samples with fly pupas, only 60 (53.6%) exhibited H. irritans. The results of comparative measurements of length, width, height and volume parameters among the manure samples, showed no significant difference (t test - P>0.05) between Nelore and Pantaneira breeds.

INTRODUCCIÓN: la miasis es la infestación de los animales domésticos, salvajes y del hombre por las larvas de las moscas (dípteras) de diferentes especies, que durante un período de su desarrollo, se alimentan de tejidos vivos o muertos o del alimento ingerido por el huésped. Es una enfermedad de distribución mundial, principalmente en las regiones tropicales y subtropicales. DESARROLLO: los agentes etiológicos más comunes en las miasis son las larvas de moscas de los géneros: Sarcophaga, Dermatobia, Oestrus, Gastrophilus, Cochliomyia, Lucila, Chrysomya y Musca entre otras. Los dípteros productores de miasis presentan varias formas en su ciclo biológico. La miasis se clasifica según las larvas que la producen, las localizaciones y formas clínicas en el hombre, y pueden ser producidas por larvas biontófagas o necrobiontófagas. Las primeras invaden tejidos vivos o cavidades naturales y son parásitos obligados; las segundas, colonizan lesiones preexistentes y son parásitos accidentales. Está asociada a diversos factores de riesgo, fundamentalmente relacionados con la higiene. CONSIDERACIONES FINALES: es una enfermedad transmitida por vectores (moscas), sus manifestaciones clínicas dependen de la localización y es una enfermedad prevenible.INTRODUCTION: myasis is a infestation of domestic, wilds animals and men caused by fly larvae (Diptera) of different species, that during a development period, lives on live and death tissues or from food ingested by host. It is a world scale disease, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. DEVELOPMENT: more common etiological agents in Myasis include fly larvae of Sarcophaga, Dermatobia, Oestrus, Gastrophilus, Cochliomyia, Lucila, Chrysomya and Musca genres among others. Diptera producing Myasis include some shapes in its biological cycle. Myasis is classified by larvae produced by it, locations, and clinical presentation in men and may be produced by biontophagues or necrobiontophagues. First ones invade live tissues or the naturala cavities and are obligate parasites; the second ones, colonize preexisting injuries, and are accidental parasites. It is associated with some risk factors, mainly with hygiene. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: it is a vector-transmitted disease (flies), its clinical manifestations depend on location and it is a preventable disease.

Se presentan dos casos de miasis nosocomiales, ocurridos en hospitales costarricenses, cuyo agente etiológico identificado fue Blaesoxipha plinthopyga (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). El primero tuvo lugar como infestación de una herida quirúrgica secundaria a una cirugía de abdomen, en la cual se observaron larvas de mosca asociadas con una secreción purulenta. Dicho cuadro conllevó la ejecución de una laparotomía exploratoria para descartar la presencia de más larvas, y el lavado de la cavidad peritoneal. El segundo caso se asoció con una paciente que estuvo en una unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, sospechosa de una intoxicación con salicilatos, quien fue sometida a intubación para brindarle respiración mecánica asistida. La paciente expulsó varias larvas de mosca por su cavidad oral, lo que ameritó una aspiración orotraqueal, de la cual se obtuvo más larvas. En ambos casos se trató de larvas maduras de tercer estadio, que se evidenciaron en un periodo mayor o igual a cinco días a partir del internamiento en el nosocomio, lo que tipifica ambos casos como miasis nosocomiales. We present two cases of nosocomial myiasis that occurred in Costa Rican hospitals. In both cases the etiologic agent was identified as Blaesoxipha plinthopyga (Diptera: Sarcophagidae). The first case occurred as an infestation of a surgical wound associated to abdominal surgery in which maggots were observed in the purulent material of the wound. This case required an exploratory laparotomy, in order to dismiss the presence of more larvae, and peritoneal washing. The second case was associated with a patient in an intensive care unit and under suspicion for salicylates poisoning. She was intubated to provide assisted mechanical ventilation. The patient spontaneously expelled several maggots from her oral cavity, which then required an endotracheal aspiration and more larvae were obtained. In both cases the maggots were mature third instar larvae, evident within five or more days after admission of the patient in the hospital, which typifies both cases as nosocomial myiasis.

Among the factors that influence the diversity of ectoparasites on bat hosts are the kind of roost and the host's social behavior. Other factors such as sex, reproductive condition and host size may influence the distribution and abundance of ectoparasites. The aim of the present study was to analyze the variation in Streblidae ectoparasites on the bat Phyllostomus hastatus, according to sex and roost type. We caught bats in four houses on Marambaia Island, municipality of Mangaratiba, and in one house at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, municipality of Seropédica. We caught 65 females and 50 males of P. hastatus and 664 streblids of four species: Aspidoptera phyllostomatis, Strebla consocia, Trichobius“dugesii” complex and Trichobius longipes. The species T. longipes accounted for more than 99% of all the ectoparasites caught. Female bats were more parasitized than males, in terms of both prevalence and average intensity. The total number of parasites did not vary between resident and non-resident bats. The relationship between the number of individuals of T. longipes and sex and roost type was significant for resident bats. The total number of parasites on males did not differ between bachelor roosts and mixed-sex roosts. The differences found between roosts reflected the differences between the sexes.

A exploração progressiva dos limites da plasticidade no desenvolvimento de padrões instintivos, levou-nos a comparar a ontogênese do comportamento de limpeza corporal em moscas, submetidas a condições diferentes a partir da eclosão. Atenção especial foi dada àquelas variações e constâncias que pudessem revelar o grau de complexidade da organização comportamental nestes insetos. Encontramos evidências de que é justamente a plasticidade do sistema que é selecionada, ou seja, a possibilidade de ajustamento a condições variadas, ao longo da ontogênese. A ocorrência de movimentos no "vazio", o desenvolvimento subseqüente de padrões "substitutivos" e as potenciais alternâncias destas categorias, sob certas circunstâncias, sugeriram várias idéias sobre a ontogênese, aparentemente incompatíveis com uma concepção de organização comportamental simples e estereotipada, mesmo para os padrões instintivos de insetos.

El objetivo principal del presente trabajo fue obtener cultivos celulares primarios derivados de tejido embrionario de Sarconesiopsis magellanica (Diptera: Calliphoridae), mosca importante por sus aplicaciones en el establecimiento del intervalo post-mortem. Se evaluaron siete medios de cultivo (Grace, Grace/L15, MM, VP12, MM/VP12, Eagle y Schneider), suplementados con 20% de suero fetal bovino. Se observó adhesión, crecimiento y proliferación celular en los medios L15, Schneider y Grace/L15, lográndose mejores resultados en los dos últimos. La obtención de la monocapa confluente, se presentó en un tiempo promedio de doce días, después de realizados los explantes. El patrón de crecimiento de los cultivos primarios mostró la presencia de vesículas con células adheridas a sus paredes, las cuales, ayudaron a la formación de la monocapa confluente. La morfología celular predominante en la monocapa correspondió a formas fibroblastoides y, en menor proporción, a epitelioides, mostrando las primeras una apariencia similar a células nerviosas. Adicionalmente, se registraron en los primeros días de los cultivos primarios, especialmente, en algunos conglomerados de células, movimientos contráctiles semejantes a los realizados por células musculares. Estos cultivos celulares primarios derivados de S. mangellanica representan, potencialmente, sustratos adecuados para realizar ensayos posteriores de susceptibilidad a infección con arbovirus y parásitos. The present work was aimed at obtaining and characterizing cell cultures from Sarconesiopsis magellanica embryonic tissue (Diptera: Calliphoridae). This fly is important by its applications in the establishment of post-mortem interval. This study evaluated seven culture medium (Grace, Grace/L15, MM, VP12, MM/VP12, Eagle and Schneider), supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum. The adhesion, cell growth and proliferation were observed in L15 medium, Schneider and Grace/L15, achieving better results in the last two. The confluent monolayer was present in an average of twelve days after that the explants were made. The growth pattern of the primary cultures showed the presence of vesicles with cells adhering to its walls, which helped to form a confluent monolayer. The predominant cell morphology in monolayer correspond to fibroblastoid a lesser extent to epithelioid, showing the first similar to nerve cells. Additionally, there was in the early days of primary cultures, especially in some clusters of cells, contractile movement, similar to those made by muscle cells. These primary cell cultures derived from S. magellanica represent potentially suitable substrates for further testing of susceptibility to infection with arboviruses and parasites.

El grupo tratado recibió el producto por aspersión en dilución 1:800, utilizando 1 litro por cada 100 kilos de peso. Se hicieron conteos de moscas antes del tratamiento y en los días 7, 14 y 21 post-aplicación para evaluar la eficacia del producto. Resultados. Los porcentajes de eficacia del producto fueron de 89.9, 97.4 y 99.5%, para los días 7, 14 y 21 post-tratamiento, respectivamente. Conclusiones. La mezcla de Cipermetrina y Clorpirifós resultó altamente eficaz contra la mosca de los cuernos Haematobia irritans y surge como una nueva alternativa para el control del parásito, especialmente donde se presente resistencia a las diferentes moléculas que contienen los productos comerciales. Objective. To determine the effect of a mixture of Cypermethrin and Chlorpiriphos on the control of the Haematobia irritans fly (horn fly). Materials and methods. A total of 24 Holstein heifers, naturally infested with Haematobia irritans flies, were randomly allocated into two Groups (n=12): 1) Group Control and 2) Group Treated. The control group was not sprayed with any product and the treated group was sprayed with the product diluted (1:800), using 1 liter per 100 kilos of body weight. to evaluate the effect of the product. Flies were counts in each animal before treatment (day 0) and on days 7, 14 and 21 post application of the product. Total number of flies (%) were compared between groups and between days. Results. Efficacy of the product were 89.9, 97.4 and 99.5%, for days 7, 14 and 21 post-treatment, respectively. Conclusions. The mixture of Cypermethrin and Chlorpiriphos was highly effective against the horn fly and stands up as a new alternative for the control of the parasite, especially where resistance to different molecules of commercial products have occurred.

Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) es una mosca necrófaga de importancia médica y forense, utilizada en terapia larval y su desarrollo biológico es usado para establecer el intervalo postmortem. Para criar esta especie, generalmente, se recurre a tejidos animales que al descomponerse producen malos olores y contaminación. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar las características del ciclo biológico de L. sericata empleando cuatro dietas diferentes a base de hígado de res (H), leche en polvo (LP), pescado (P) e hígado en polvo (HP). El estudio, se inició a partir de huevos tomados de una colonia de L. sericata, previamente establecida, bajo condiciones de laboratorio (24-27°C, 60% HR, fotoperiodo 12 horas luz). La dieta con la que se obtuvo la mayor duración en el ciclo de vida de L. sericata, desde huevo hasta pupa, fue LP y el menor tiempo de desarrollo de la especie, se estableció en la dieta HP. Por otro lado, la menor longevidad de las moscas, se consiguió en la dieta H; sin embargo, en este sustrato alimenticio, los insectos alcanzaron un tamaño mayor. De manera general, se registró un porcentaje mayor de hembras en las dietas LP y P. Potencialmente, las tres dietas sintéticas evaluadas presentaron características de sustratos alimenticios, óptimos para la cría de la mosca, en condiciones de laboratorio. Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a necrophagous fly of medical and forensic importance used in larval therapy, being its biological development important to establish the post postmortem interval. Animal tissues are generally employed to breed this specie, but these substrates, while decomposing produce bad odors and contamination. The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the life cycle of L. sericata using four different diets: beef liver (H), milk powder (LP), fish (P) and liver powder (HP). This study started from eggs taken from a colony of L. sericata previously established under laboratory conditions (24-27°C, 60% RH, photoperiod 12 hours light). The highest duration in the life cycle from egg to pupa was obtained on the diet LP, and the shortest developmental time was established on the diet HP. On the other hand the shortest longevity of adult flies was attained on the diet H. However, in this food substrate the flies were larger than on the others diets. In general, a higher percentage of females was registered with diets LP and P. Potentially, the three synthetic diets evaluated, revealed characteristics of optimal substrates for the breeding of the flies under laboratory conditions.

Introducción. El tracoma es la primera causa infecciosa de ceguera. En 2008 había 1´300.000 ciegos por su causa y 8 millones de personas tenían lesiones oculares que podrían conducirlos a la ceguera. En América Latina se ha documentado su presencia en Brasil, Guatemala y México. Objetivo. Informar por primera vez la presencia de tracoma en Colombia, en indígenas del departamento del Vaupés. Materiales y métodos. En 2003 y 2006 se visitaron las comunidades makú de San Joaquín y Santa Catalina, a 5 km de Brasil, y entre 2007 y 2009, las de San Gerardo, San Gabriel y Nuevo Pueblo, a 35 km de las anteriores. Resultados. En 2006, se examinaron 114 personas en San Joaquín y Santa Catalina. Se diagnosticó clínicamente tracoma en 21 (18,4%), 15 de ellas (13,2%) menores de 15 años. Se detectaron todas las fases de la enfermedad. Tres mujeres tenían opacidad corneal con notoria disminución de la agudeza visual. En las tres últimas comunidades se detectaron tres mujeres con tracoma avanzado, con opacidad corneal y ceguera. La vivienda precaria, la carencia de agua potable y de sistemas adecuados de disposición de los excrementos, y la abundancia de moscas domésticas del género Hippelates, constituyen factores de riesgo para la transmisión del tracoma. Discusión. El tracoma existe en Colombia, con incidencia frecuente en las comunidades estudiadas. Su localización definida hace posible su eliminación en programas de salud pública. Es necesario realizar una búsqueda del tracoma en otras comunidades indígenas del Vaupés con condiciones de vida similares. Introduction: Trachoma is the leading cause of infectious blindness in the world. In 2008 there were 1,300,000 persons with blindness caused by trachoma and 8 million with trichiasis, which might eventually lead to blindness. In Latin America it has been documented in Brazil, Guatemala and México. Objective: To inform the presence of trachoma for the first time in Colombia, amongst Amerindians of the Department of Vaupés. Materials and methods: In 2003 and 2006 the Amerindian Makú communities of San Joaquín and Santa Catalina, located 5 km from the border with Brazil, were visited. From 2007 to 2009, San Gerardo, San Gabriel and Nuevo Pueblo, at a 35 km distance from San Joaquín were visited. Results: In 2006 114 people were examined in Santa Catalina and San Joaquin; 21 patients were clinically diagnosed with trachoma (18.4%), 15 (13.2%) of them children under 15 years old. All trachoma phases were observed. Three women had corneal opacity with poor vision. In the remaining three communities, three women with advanced trachoma with corneal opacity and blindness were detected. The poor quality of living conditions without fresh water and adequate sanitary disposal systems, and the abundance of flies identified as Hippelates sp., are risk factors for the transmission of the disease. Discussion: Trachoma exists in Colombia, and it is frequent among the studied communities. Its focalized distribution makes it amenable to elimination. It is advisable to search for trachoma in other indigenous communities in Vaupés with similar living conditions.

Se realizó un recuento del número de vejigas dispersas en 15 manzanas del centro urbano de Barva, Heredia, luego de la celebración de las mascaradas, actividad enmarcada en las fiestas patronales de la ciudad. Adicionalmente se llevó a cabo una evaluación de los huevos, larvas y adultos de mosca presentes en 2 vejigas que fueron descartadas en lugares públicos y que no fueron contaminadas con tierra, fluidos u otros detritos. Luego de la actividad se contaron 29 vejigas, las cuales estuvieron localizadas en tendido eléctrico (55,2%), aceras (27,6%), jardines (6,9%), desagües (6,9%) y techos (3,4%).

Se realizó un recuento del número de vejigas dispersas en 15 manzanas del centro urbano de Barva, Heredia, luego de la celebración de las mascaradas, actividad enmarcada en las fiestas patronales de la ciudad. Adicionalmente se llevó a cabo una evaluación de los huevos, larvas y adultos de mosca presentes en 2 vejigas que fueron descartadas en lugares públicos y que no fueron contaminadas con tierra, fluidos u otros detritos. Luego de la actividad se contaron 29 vejigas, las cuales estuvieron localizadas en tendido eléctrico (55,2%), aceras (27,6%), jardines (6,9%), desagües (6,9%) y techos (3,4%). Los grupos de moscas observados pertenecieron a las familias Calliphoridae (Cochliomyia macellaria, Lucilia eximia, Phaenicia cuprina, Chrysomyia megacephala), Sarcophagidae (Sarcophaga sp.), Muscidae (Musca domestica) y Phoridae. Los promedios de huevos y larvas por vejiga fueron 176 y 44 respectivamente.

Abstract The hippoboscids are cosmopolitan permanent obligate hematophagous ectoparasites of birds, domestic and wild mammals and, occasionally, humans. Some species may act as vectors or hosts of etiological pathogenic agents. The aims of this study were to report on the first cases of Hippoboscidae in Crax blumenbachii and Parabuteo unicinctus; to provide new reports from Brazil on Tyto furcata and Asio stygius parasitized by Icosta americana; to report on individuals of Bubo virginianus, Falco sparverius and Accipiter striatus parasitized by genera Ornithoctona; and to provide new reports on parasitism of O. erythrocephala in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The birds of prey and C. blumenbachii were attended at a rehabilitation center in Porto Alegre and at a veterinary hospital in Cruz Alta. These new records demonstrate the huge gap that exists regarding studies on avian ectoparasites and highlight potential vectors of hemoparasites for the bird species studied.
