TI  - The Stable Fly (Stomoxys calcitrans) as a Possible Vector Transmitting Pathogens 
      in Austrian Pig Farms.
LID - 10.3390/microorganisms8101476 [doi]
LID - 1476
AB  - This pilot study aimed to investigate stable flies from Austrian pig farms for 
      the presence of defined swine pathogens, such as porcine reproductive and 
      respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2), hemotrophic 
      mycoplasmas in ingested blood and/or body parts and bacteria on the surface of 
      the flies. Furthermore, the use of stable flies as a diagnostic matrix for the 
      detection of pathogens in the ingested pig blood should be investigated. In 
      total, 69 different microorganisms could be found on the surface of tested S. 
      calcitrans from 20 different pig farms. Escherichia coli was the most common 
      bacterium and could be found on flies from seven farms. In seven farms, 
      hemotrophic mycoplasmas were detected in stable flies. PRRSV could not be found 
      in any of the samples of these 20 farms but PCV2 was detected in six farms. 
      Whether the stable fly can be used as a matrix to monitor the health status 
      cannot be accurately determined through this study, especially in regard to 
      PRRSV. Nevertheless, it might be possible to use the stable fly as diagnostic 
      material for defined pathogens like Mycoplasma suis and PCV2.
