TL;DR: A retrospective comparison of results and of other data from four seasons of observation (1983-1986) in central Italy showed that the number of G. haemorrhoidalis have been decreasing relative to G. intestinalis and G. nasalis which may suggest tendency toward the extinction of the three former species of Gasterophilus.

TL;DR: It is shown that Cx.
