CONTROL OF FLIES

differ in others. House flies over-

wild animals in the ineubative stage ol distemper were respon- sible for starting the disease. Wild birds have been suspected of act- ing as mechanical carriers of the virus from infected to non-infected animals. in , ral. though, most outbreaks occur 6 weeks to 3 month after mink purchased from ranch- u apparently free of distemper, and showing .no symptoms of the disease themselves were introduc- ed to the ranch.

PERIOD OI? INCUBATION When an animal is exposed to distemper virus. the length of time that elapses from the time the animal was exposed to the vir- us. until it damn symptoms of dis- temper. is known as the "period of incubation."

This incubation is extremly val- uable. Animals may be harbour- ing a virus for several weeks. 0 r even a few months. before they show any clinical evidence of he- lng infected with distemper.

temper is present. SOURCES OF INFECTION F. , iy distemper is intro- duced to the ranch by breeding stock that is infected with distem- per without necessarily showing symptoms at the time of purchase. when this occurs, it has been obs- erved that the kit crop is reduced, either through failure of many an- imals to breed or through absorpt-

Consequenily distemper should be suspected whenever a mink dies and the cause of death is not read- ily apparent. The diagnosis of dis- temper on clinical symptoms a- lone is so difficult that it should be undertaken only by a veterinar- ian familiar with mink diseases. or a diagnostic laboratory that sqiializes in hiatopathologicai studies and animal inoculation tests on which a diagnosis can be made. Even when a diagnosis of distemper is made by a compet-

should always be verified or con- firmed by a laboratory specialis- ing in mink distemper work.

The moral in all this talk about the variability of the symptoms of distemper and the difficulty of making an accurate diagnosis is just this--the rancher should sus- pect distemper whenever an ani- mal dies for some obscure reason. and have the animal examined by a veterinarian or take the-animal to a diagnostic laboratory for ac-

ainry at the Health .Centre in Charloilctown. This service is free to all ranchers in Prince Edward l lslaild.

THE HOUSE FLY The house fly is unable to "bite" animals or man. Actually. no kind of fly can "bite" in the usual sense of the term. House flies. however. are capable of carrying disease germs either in or on their bodies and of depositing them later on milking utensils, in milk itself. or on food on the dining room table. The habits of the house fly. its hairy body. sticky foot pads. and moist sponge-like mouth parts. admirably fit it to carry bacteria and filth. House flies also serve as intermediate hosts for certain roundworni and tapeworm parasites of livestock and poulty. Stable Files resemble house flies closely and are frequently refer- red to as "biting house flies". Their mouthparts are equipped lfor piercing the skin and sucking blood. The insects "bile" itself is irritating and when the files are abundant. either in the stable or out-of-doors. man and livestock can suffer much torment. This discomfort during daylight hours will result in restlessness and low- ered milk productlon by daily cat-

Horn Files are smaller than the other species mentioned above and are also capable of piercing the hides of cattle and sucking the blood. Unless some control meas- ures are undertaken. these files can make life almost intolerable for producing and young cattle. They tend to congregate around the.baseI of the horns and over the withers where they cannot be readily disturbed. It is not un- common to see literally hundreds feeding on a single animal.

Stable flies winter as larvae or lpnpac in wet straw or in strawy manure. during the warm months. The leverage life cycle may require lfrom twenty to sixty days and ldurlng the season there may be 'three or four generations.

Horn Flies pass the winter an 'larvae or pupae in or beneath the ldroppings of cattle. in May of as average year the flies begin to up 'pcar about cattle. Apparently. the immature stages will develop only in fresh cow dung. as the eggs are deposited within a minute or so of the time it is dropped. Dung dropped at nigh is not infested with horn fly larve. The entire life cycle may be completed in from ten days to two weeks and thus. a number of generations may occur before frost kills the adult.

Horse flies winter as larvae in the mud about ponds and streams or in low. wet areas. The adult flies appear in early summer and. lay their eggs on the leaves and stems of acquatic plants. on the branches of trees which overhangl water, or in grasses growing in wet. swamp places. When the hatching takes place the larvae fall into the water. sink to the bottom and burrow into the mud' and debris. The number of genera- tions per year varies with the dif- ierent species but usually there is only one. l nlsnmrnit coanor. I

To control distemper eificleilfly. it is necessary to know the cause.

the disease spreads from animali to animal and from ranch to ranch.

Breeding is continuous 9'

sick kits and seperation of kits at weaning time, favour rapid spread of the disease.

Lending breeding stock. cages. etc.. to other ranchers is a danger- ous practice. The return of such breeders to the home ranch has resulted in outbreaks of distem-

r. Live mink shows and exhibit- ions are potential sources of trouble. The concentration oil many mink from many different! ranches favours the spread of dis- temper. Therefore show animals should be vaccinated at least two weeks before entry to the show and isolated or quarrantined for at least I) days after the show be- fore being returned to the ranch. I These ' f . coupled with thel long and variable incubation of l this disease. frequently mean thatl infected breeders or show animals, spread distemper virus through- out the ranch before the disease Isl amps-cted or diagnosed.
