Abstract Background Preimaginal black flies (Diptera: Simuliidae) are important components
of the stream ecosystem. However, there has been limited research undertaken on the …

We describe the abiotic factors affecting the distribution of black flies at a microhabitat scale,
rather than at the regional scale usually present in the literature on the Neotropics. Black fly …

Background In the context of climate change, a growing concern is that vector-pathogen or
host-parasite interactions may be correlated with climatic factors, especially increasing …

This chapter distinguishes microsporidian diseases that are, to our knowledge, restricted to
invertebrate species and protists and considers the unique aspects of disease dynamics in …

Delving into knowing the blackfly (Diptera: Simuliidae) species composition of Spain and
their ecological requirements is crucial, due to their instrumental role in natural food webs as …

Parasitic contamination of surface waters, especially recreational waters, is a serious
problem for under-developed nations like Pakistan, where numerous outbreaks of parasitic …

A growing interest in the importance of simuliids in health and animal welfare in certain
areas in Europe, such as around the Mediterranean basin, together with the fact that there is …

Data on pre-imaginal stages of blackflies obtained in southern England during the summer
