First record of Melophagus ovinus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) for Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
- Authors
de Luna, Manuel; Hernández, María Jordán
- Abstract
The sheep ked Melophagus ovinus (Diptera: Hippoboscidae: Lipopteninae), an ectoparasite of the domestic sheep Ovis aries (Artiodactyla: Bovidae: Caprinae), was recorded for the first time in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. This dipteran has a cosmopolitan distribution, likely found wherever its preferred host is present. Records of this parasite in Mexico are scarce and dispersed throughout the literature.
