Influence of temperature, humidity and rainfall on field population trend of Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) in a semiarid climate in Mexico

The influence of temperature, humidity and rainfall on field population trend of stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans, over three consecutive years in two dairy farms located in semiarid climate in Aguascalientes State, in Mexico, were determined. The dairies were visited weekly between April 1999 to Mar...
