INTRODUCTION
Trypanosoma evansi was first identified in the Canary Islands in 1997, and is still present in a small area of the Archipelago. To date, the disease has exclusively affected camel herds, and has not been detected in any other animal hosts. However potential vectors of Trypanosoma evansi must be identified.
METHODS
One Nzi trap was placed on a camel farm located in the infected area for a period of one year.
RESULTS
Two thousand five hundred and five insects were trapped, of which Stomoxys calcitrans was the sole hematophagous vector captured.
CONCLUSIONS
Stomoxys calcitrans could be exclusively responsible for the transmission of Trypanosoma evansi among camels in the surveyed area, as other species do not seem to be infected by S. calcitrans in the presence of camels.
引言
1997年在加那利群岛首次发现伊氏锥虫，目前该群岛仍有小范围地区存在这种寄生虫。到目前为止，这种疾病仅感染骆驼群，尚未在任何其他动物宿主中检测到。然而，必须确定伊氏锥虫的潜在传播媒介。
方法
在受感染地区的一个骆驼养殖场放置了一个Nzi诱捕器，放置一年时间。
结果
共捕获2505只昆虫，其中厩螫蝇是唯一捕获到的吸血媒介。
结论
厩螫蝇可能是被调查地区骆驼之间伊氏锥虫传播的唯一媒介，因为在有骆驼存在的情况下，其他物种似乎不会被厩螫蝇感染。
