The attraction of three Stomoxys species to 26 fruits and 26 flowers of different plant species was investigated in two different sites in Mali during 2008. Stomoxys niger bilineatus Grunberg (Diptera: Muscidae) was attracted to a wider spectrum of species, significantly attracted by four fruits and eight flowers compared with control traps, whereas S. sitiens Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae) was attracted to six fruits and seven flowers of different plants, and S. calcitrans L. (Diptera: Muscidae) was only attracted to one fruit and three flowers. Cold anthrone assays showed a significantly higher prevalence of sugar feeding amongst all three species at the lagoon site than at the site near Mopti. The rhythm of activity study shows temporally separated blood- and sugar-feeding periods for S. niger bilineatus and S. sitiens, but not for S. calcitrans. A comparison between blood and sugar feeding throughout the day shows that sugar feeding activity is as frequent as blood feeding activity. Because not much is known about the preferred sugar sources for Stomoxys species in their natural habitats, the present study provides valuable information regarding the attraction capability of several plants with possible future implication for Stomoxys control strategies.
2008年期间，在马里的两个不同地点，研究了三种厩螫蝇对26种不同植物的果实和26种花的吸引力。双带黑厩螫蝇（双翅目：蝇科）被更广泛的物种所吸引，与对照诱捕器相比，有4种果实和8种花对其有显著吸引力；而嗜人厩螫蝇（双翅目：蝇科）被6种不同植物的果实和7种花所吸引；厩螫蝇（双翅目：蝇科）仅被1种果实和3种花所吸引。冷蒽酮测定表明，在泻湖地点，所有这三种厩螫蝇取食糖分的比例显著高于莫普提附近的地点。活动节律研究表明，双带黑厩螫蝇和嗜人厩螫蝇的吸血期和取食糖分期在时间上是分开的，但厩螫蝇并非如此。全天吸血和取食糖分情况的比较表明，取食糖分的活动与吸血活动一样频繁。由于对厩螫蝇在其自然栖息地中偏好的糖源了解不多，本研究提供了有关几种植物吸引力的有价值信息，可能对未来厩螫蝇的控制策略有影响。
