| Abstract: | In a survey of the flies on cattle at a beef cattle ranch in the Sudan savanna zone of Northern Nigeria, catches were made one day a month for 2 h in the morning and 2 h in the mid-afternoon, all flies landing on a bull were caught. Between mid-June 1971 and mid-May 1972, 4256 flies were collected, 3210 of which were Musca lusoria Wied., 420 were Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) and 340 were S. nigra Macq. Two species of Haematobia and one each of Tabanus, Haematopota, Chrysops, Simulium and Culicoides were caught. Flies were most abundant in October-November and February-March. |
