Tabanus sufis

Tabanus sufis, also called estuary horsefly, is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae.[1]

Distribution

[edit]

Originally described as Tabanus sufis in 1867 by Johann Friedrich Jaennicke from specimens collected in Sudan [as "Nubia"].[2] Afrotropical and Palearctic species.[3] Widespread in Africa[4] penetrating the Palearctic realm through the East Mediterranean from Egypt[5] and Cyprus[6] to Saudi Arabia and the Levant[7] north and eastwards to Iraq, Iran, Pakistan and India.[8]

Blood feeding hosts and veterinary relevance

[edit]

Known hosts in Europe and the Levant are horses, donkeys, camels and men,[9][6] in Africa—horses, cattle,[10] and men.[11] In Africa and the Arabian Peninsula this species is an important vector for Trypanosoma parasites causing the disease called surra. Surra is a major disease in camels, equines, cattle, and dogs, in which it can often be fatal.[12][13][14]
