dc.description.abstractA spatiotemporal investigation of hematophagous fly prevalence was conducted over a 1-year period on 12 beef cattle farms located in major livestock areas of Bangkok,Thailand, using Vavoua traps.The survey revealed 5,018 hematophagous flies belonging to Muscidae and Tabanidae, with the 3 dominant species identified as Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus) (2,354; 46.91%), Musca crassirostris Stein (1,528; 30.45%), and Haematobia exigua de Meijere (922; 18.37%). The abundance of S. calcitrans per trap per week was significantly higher during the rainy season (45.64 ± 14.10), followed by the cold and dry seasons (6.39 ± 2.16 and 3.04 ± 1.27, respectively).The relative abundance of S. calcitrans reached the highest apparent density per trap per day (ADT) index of 9.83 in August 2022 during the rainy season. Subsequently, there was a rapid decline, and the ADT index dropped to nearly zero in December 2022 during the cold season.This low abundance continued through the dry months from March to May 2023.The higher rainfall and relative humidity could significantly contribute to the high relative abundance of S. calcitrans. In contrast, M. crassirostris and H. exigua showed population fluctuations that were not significantly associated with seasonal changes and weather conditions. Remote sensing data and spatial regression analyses using ordinary least squares regression showed the high spatial density of S. calcitrans in the north direction of the Khlong Sam Wa district during the rainy season; it shifted toward the south in the cold and dry seasons, corresponding with rainfall.
