The horn fly, Haematobia irritans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), is a cosmopolitan livestock pest that has caused a great negative impact on the animal production sector throughout the world. Here, we describe 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci isolated from H. irritans. The number of alleles found ranged from two to eight per locus and the expected heterozygosity from 0.1421 to 0.7702. These loci are potentially useful for the fine-scale genetic characterization of horn fly populations and provide fundamental information for pest management and planning of control programs.
牛角蝇，Haematobia irritans（L.）（双翅目：蝇科），是一种世界性的家畜害虫，对全球动物生产部门造成了极大的负面影响。在这里，我们描述了从 H. irritans 中分离出的 10 个多态性微卫星基因座。每个基因座的等位基因数从两个到八个不等，预期杂合度从 0.1421 到 0.7702。这些基因座对于牛角蝇种群的精细遗传特征具有潜在的应用价值，并为害虫管理和控制计划的规划提供了基础信息。
