Trypanosomes of the subgenus Megatrypanum have been isolated from many mammalian hosts around the world. They are usually non-pathogenic, although they may confuse the parasitological diagnosis of trypanosomosis. Additionally, Trypanosoma theileri has been associated with disease in cattle. Megatrypanum trypanosomes are considered to be transmitted by different arthropods, including tabanids. However, little is known about the potential vectors of Megatrypanum trypanosomes in different parts of the world. The present study reports on the detection of Megatrypanum trypanosomes in Heamatopota pluvialis, Tabanus bromius, Tabanus maculicornis and Tabanus distinguendus in Poland. It also discusses the possible role of these tabanids in the transmission of Megatrypanum trypanosomes.
巨锥虫亚属的锥虫已在世界各地的许多哺乳动物宿主中分离出来。它们通常无致病性，尽管它们可能会干扰锥虫病的寄生虫学诊断。此外，泰勒锥虫与牛的疾病有关。巨锥虫锥虫被认为是由包括虻在内的不同节肢动物传播的。然而，对于世界不同地区巨锥虫锥虫的潜在传播媒介知之甚少。本研究报告了在波兰的降雨血虻、褐虻、斑角虻和显纹虻中检测到巨锥虫锥虫。它还讨论了这些虻在巨锥虫锥虫传播中的可能作用。
