TLDR
Two cyromazine-based IGR formulations appear to be effective tools that, if rotated appropriately with other insecticides, can be incorporated into integrated pest management strategies for filth fly suppression.Abstract:
The presence of various species of filth flies is a widespread problem where livestock, including poultry, are maintained and where manure accumulates. The house fly, Musca domestica L.; the stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.); and the little house fly, Fannia canicularis (L.) (each Diptera: Muscidae), the target pests in our study, can mechanically spread diseases, and S. calcitrans can bite cattle, causing losses in meat and milk production. Chemical control is widely used to suppress filth flies, but resistance to conventional insecticides has become problematic. Hence, an alternative approach, insect growth regulators (IGRs), has been adopted by many livestock producers. We assessed the ability of the IGR cyromazine in granular and granular-based aqueous formulations to suppress the three muscid species from developing in poultry, cattle, and swine manure collected from commercial livestock production facilities. Each of the two formulations provided either strong or complete control of the pests for the 4-wk duration of the study, excluding the granular formulation that provides control of only F. canicularis developing in poultry manure for 2 wk. The two cyromazine-based IGR formulations appear to be effective tools that, if rotated appropriately with other insecticides, can be incorporated into integrated pest management strategies for filth fly suppression.read more

Progress and prospects of arthropod chitin pathways and structures as targets for pest management
TL;DR: The chemicals and proteins used to target chitin structures and enzymes for arthropod pest management, as well as pest management strategies based upon these compounds, such as plant-incorporated-protectants and recombinant entomopathogens are described.

A historical review of management options used against the stable fly Diptera: Muscidae.
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of all management options used against stable flies from both a historical and a technical perspective is presented for use by any entomologist, livestock producer or horticulturalist with an interest in reducing the negative impact of this pest fly.

Toxicity and Disruptive Impacts of Novaluron, A Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor, on Development and Metamorphosis of The Olive Leaf Moth Palpita unionalis
TL;DR: The somatic weight gain of larvae was drastically reduced and the larval growth rate was severely regressed, regardless of the concentration, and the pupal duration was remarkably prolonged, in a dosedependent manner.

Posttreatment temperature influences toxicity of insect growth regulators in Musca domestica.
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of posttreatment temperature (range, 20-36 °C) on the toxicity of eight IGRs: five chitin synthesis inhibitors (cyromazine, diflubenzuron, lufenuron, novaluron, triflumuron), two juvenile hormone analogs (methoprene, pyriproxyfen), and one ecdysone agonist (mETHoxyfenozide), was investigated against M. domestica.

Ecology and management of arthropod pests of poultry.

TL;DR: Future poultry pest management programs must be based on sound data, which presently is too limited, and must be flexible enough to adjust rapidly to evolving pest problems in rapidly changing production systems.

Mechanical Transmission of Human Protozoan Parasites by Insects
TL;DR: The filthy breeding habits, feeding mechanisms, and indiscriminate travel between filth and food make some groups of synanthropic insects such as nonbiting flies and cockroaches efficient vectors of human enteric protozoan parasites.

TL;DR: The augmentation of native parasites, predators and competitors has been attempted and even promoted for horn fly and stable fly control, but evidence for the success of such programmes is equivocal.

TL;DR: The house fly genome provides a rich resource for enabling work on innovative methods of insect control, for understanding the mechanisms of insecticide resistance, genetic adaptation to high pathogen loads, and for exploring the basic biology of this important pest.

Economic impact of stable flies (Diptera: Muscidae) on dairy and beef cattle production
TL;DR: The economic impact of stable flies on cattle production in the United States is estimated to be $2,211 million per year, with effects of stable fly on feed conversion efficiency, animal breeding success, and effects of infested cattle on pasture and water quality excluded.
