| Abstract: | The toxicity of topically applied fenvalerate for five Tabanus species (including T. lineola and T. wilsoni) was determined on a per fly and per weight basis. The LD-50’s ranged from 0.0086 to 0.0816 mu-g/fly for Tabanus fuscicostatus and T. americanus, respectively. The LD-50’s in mu-g/fly weight ranged from 0.156 for T. americanus to 0.404 for T. pallidescens. Blood-engorged T. fuscicostatus were less susceptible to topical application of fenvalerate than unfed individuals. |
