The southward spread of buffalo fly (Haematobia irritans exigua) in coastal eastern Australia from Bororen, Queensland in 1974 to Coffs Harbour, New South Wales in 1982 is documented. Surveys after a cold, dry winter in 1982 recorded overwintering sites and subsequent spread of flies in southern Queensland and northern New South Wales. Buffalo fly overwintered at several places in the Maryborough-Bauple districts and further north. Overwintering also occurred in the Currumbin Valley-Mudgeeraba area on the Queensland-New South Wales border. Other infestations detected early in the season and believed to have arisen from local overwintering populations were observed at Kin Kin, Mount Tamborine and Flinders Peak. By May 1983 flies had recolonised much of coastal south eastern Queensland, and as far south as Ballina and west to the Richmond Range in New South Wales. Implications of these findings for control are discussed.
本文记录了1974年至1982年间，牛蝇（嗜人血蝇）在澳大利亚东部沿海地区从昆士兰州的博罗伦向南扩散至新南威尔士州科夫斯港的过程。1982年一个寒冷干燥的冬季过后，研究人员进行了调查，记录了越冬地点以及随后牛蝇在昆士兰州南部和新南威尔士州北部的扩散情况。牛蝇在马里伯勒-鲍普尔地区及更北部的几个地方越冬。在昆士兰州和新南威尔士州边境的库伦宾谷-马吉拉巴地区也出现了越冬现象。在金金、坦伯林山和弗林德斯峰等地，在季节早期检测到的其他牛蝇侵扰情况，据信是由当地越冬种群引发的。到1983年5月，牛蝇已重新在昆士兰州东南部沿海的大部分地区定居，最南到达巴利纳，向西延伸至新南威尔士州的里士满山脉。文中还讨论了这些研究结果对牛蝇控制工作的影响。
