Acesso em: .https://bdm.ufpa.br/handle/prefix/8756The genus Stomoxys has 17 species, and of these only one occurs in the Americas, the species Stomoxys calcitrans, comonly known as stables fly, which is also found in different regions of the globe. Flies are very important insects on human and animal health, for being mechanical and physiological vectors of various pathogens. Despite these flies feed on preferably cows and horses, which normally attack legs and ventral abdomen, however, they can also be fed dogs frequently, especially in the region of the ears. These bites result in visible lesions typical at the ends of the ears with the presence of accumulated blood crusts. The parasitism of the stable flies is not limited to animals, because in places where there is a high population of this insect, can be observed flies attacking people who live or stay around where these flies swarm. This study aimed to carry out an account of cases of ear lesions caused by the stable-fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, in dogs that reside on the campus of UFPA- Breves, bringing knowledge on the subject for the academic community. Therefore, we analyzed macroscopically, a total of 19 dogs, being nine dogs from the campus UFPA-Breves and 10 dogs that were in the vicinity of the campus. We analyzed the degree of infestation of the stable-flies, S. calcitrans, on animals, whereas a slight infestation, were dogs with one to three fleas, moderate infestation with four to eight flies and a intense infestation with more than nine flies in the same animal. We also analyzed the degree of ear lesions in dogs caused by the bites of fleas, S. calcitrans, according to the approximate diameter of the lesions, being considered a minor injuries those lesions with a diameter less than 1 cm, moderates lesions with 1.1 to 3 cm and severe lesions with more than 3 cm in diameter. Of the 19 dogs examined, only one showed no infestation by stable-flies, S. calcitrans. All other animals were often being attacked by these insects, which shows a high prevalence in dogs in the study location. Morphological analysis of the collected flies allowed the diagnosis of S. calcitrans. The collected flies had mouthparts type chipper, well-developed and small palps. The degree of injury is directly correlated to the degree of infestation by flies of the stables.Acesso AbertoStomoxys calcitransMoscas-dos-estábulosCãesMuscidadeStable-flyDogsCNPQ::CIENCIAS BIOLOGICAS::PARASITOLOGIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - MonografiaAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazil
