Do flies cause pinkeye?

Frequently asked questions about Maxi/Guard? Pinkeye
No, true IBK is caused by Moraxella bovis. The fly is a common mechanical vector that spreads the disease from animal to animal. The tongue of the face fly looks much like a rasp under a microscope. When flies feed off the lacrimal fluids at the eye, they sometimes scratch the cornea. This initial lesion can reduce the eye's defenses to disease and allow the infection to begin.

What About Those Bugs, Flies Etc?

FAQ For Vegetrial World
I think for good reason, based on ethical intuition, that we are more impressed by the kind-hearted soul who nets the flies to let them out of the house alive versus the person hunting them down for certain chemical death with a bottle raid. Even if our great White Suburban hunter of houseflies uses a fly-swatter for ecological reasons, the more admirable course pertains to the person who uses a butterfly net to simply capture the fly for relocation outside.

Fly Fishing South Padre Island Texas with Captain Eric Glass
Like many fly fishing guides, I tie my own flies and tweak them periodically as needed ("tides are falling for the next few days, so let's do some of these guys with bead heads instead of lead eyes"), so I'll be happy to provide you with the current hotties. If you enjoy using flies from your own vise, you could do a lot worse than having an assortment of Tim Borski's excellent bonefish patterns (Borski slider, Borski swimming shrimp).

How can we introduce phorid flies in our county?

Imported Fire Ant - FAQ
We have recently began a pilot program to assist local extension agents and private interest groups to participate in acquiring their own phorid "infections." Fire ants are collected in the area to be treated with phorids according to our instructions. Ants are separated from soil at Brackenridge Field Laboratory. We show participants where to place out trays of ants in phorid fly "hot spots." The flies will arrive and attack the fire ant workers.

What role do viruses like IBR play in pinkeye disease?

Frequently asked questions about Maxi/Guard? Pinkeye
Dr. Lisle George of UC-Davis reported, in the American Journal of Veterinary Research, that IBR virus vaccines tend to inhibit pinkeye-fighting immune cells. He suggests not using MLV IBR vaccines in the face of a pinkeye outbreak. He recommends waiting until the break has cleared up. Bruce Addison (president of Addison Biological Laboratory, Inc.) has said and believed for years that the IBR virus colonizes in the ocular tissue and interferes with the immune response.

With colleagues in those countries and in coordination with colleagues at USDA in Gainesville, FL, we have learned about the life history, behavior, and host specificity of most of these phorid species and have identified several as high priority for application in biological control.

What flies are working?

FAQs | Bow River Fishing | Bow River Fly Fishing
We wish there was a single simple answer. It depends..... There are a number of local patterns that are very effective on the Bow River. Early in the spring when the water is still very cold and the fish are holding deep nothing beats a #6-#10 Woolly Bugger (green, white or black) or a #6-#12 Kaufman Stone fly thrown from a streamer rod. Size 6 to size 8 Klauser Minnows are also excellent in the spring. Simple white and brown or white and green work extremely well.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fourpeaks Authentic Adirond...
Black flies are controlled in our immediate area. The larvae are treated by biological means. There are no black flies here at Fourpeaks. That's the good news. Deer flies (they come first) and mosquitoes (later on) may have to be dealt with. The appearance of these flying nuisances is quite variable. It depends on the weather and other factors. There are often none at all. If there are any, the concentration varies. Bothered by them? Personal bug sprays or creams are effective.

I bought some worms from you back in the Fall. The worms are great, multiplied in great numbers BUT I have a huge fruit fly problem.

I finally got to Spring time when I could move the worms out to the back porch..

Why should we be concerned about studying our native species of ant-attacking phorid flies?

Imported Fire Ant - FAQ
Studies of flies, genus Pseudacteon, that live, reproduce, and thrive on host fire ants in North America can reveal much about details of phorid natural history. Understanding the biology of these temperate-zone phorids could provide important guidance for developing optimum methods for introducing phorids from South America which would attack the pest fire ant species.
