Abstract

DE LUNA, Manuel  and  JORDAN HERNANDEZ, María. First record of Melophagus ovinus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Hippoboscidae) for Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Agron. colomb. [online]. 2023, vol.41, n.2, pp.1-.  Epub May 09, 2024. ISSN 0120-9965.  https://doi.org/10.15446/agron.colomb.v41n2.108640.

The sheep ked Melophagus ovinus (Díptera: 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.

Keywords : Hippoboscoidea; Lipopteninae; sheep ked; sheep; invasive species; geographic distribution.
