Tabanus gratus is a species of horse fly in the family Tabanidae.[1]

Distribution

Originally described as Tabanus gratus in 1858 by Hermann Loew from a female specimen collected in South Africa as Caffraria.[2] Afrotropical and Palearctic species.[3] Widespread in Africa,[4] penetrating the Palearctic realm through the East Mediterranean from Egypt and Cyprus,[5] through Western Saudi Arabia[6][7] and the Levant[8] to Iran and Afghanistan.[9]

Blood feeding hosts and veterinary relevance

Known hosts in Europe and the Levant are horses and camels,[10][11] in Africa—horses and cattle.[12] In Africa this species is an important vector for Trypanosoma parasites causing the disease surra. Surra is a major disease in camels, equines, cattle and dogs, in which it can often be fatal.[13][14][15]
