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

Distribution

Originally described as Tabanus taeniola in 1806 by Palisot de Beauvois from a specimen collected in Nigeria.[2] Afrotropical and Palearctic, widespread in Africa penetrating the Palearctic to the East Mediterranean coast through Egypt, Cyprus and the Levant eastwards to Saudi Arabia.[3][4] Regular migrant in the Levant and Cyprus.[5]

Blood feeding hosts and veterinary relevance

Known hosts in Europe and the Levant are horses, donkeys, camels, dogs, and men,[6][7] in Africa—horses and cattle.[8][9] In Africa this species is an important vector for Trypanosoma parasites causing the disease called surra. Surra is a major disease in camels, equines, cattle, and dogs, in which it can often be fatal.[10][11][12]
