| Abstract: | A mycological examination was made of the alimentary tract of 50 adults each of Stomoxys sitiens Rond. and Hippobosca equina L. and 25 adults each of Tabanus gratus Lw. and T. taeniola P. de B. collected in Egypt. Fungi or bacteria were found in the gut of 44 examples of S. sitiens; yeasts formed about 50% of the isolates and included species of the genera Candida, Torulopsis, Cryptococcus, Trichosporium and Rhodotorula. Moulds (mostly species of Aspergillus, Penicillium, Paecilomyces and Cephalosporium) or bacteria were present in the gut of 17 examples of T. gratus and 10 of T. taeniola. Cultures of the gut contents of all 50 examples of H. equina gave negative results. |
