          Abstract

          Con el objetivo de conocer el período de oviposición de Gasterophilus nasalis y su relación con las condiciones climáticas locales se realizó, cada dos semanas, el conteo de los huevos colocados en los pelos de la región submaxilar de 10 caballos Hackney en un predio de la VIII Región, Chile, desde noviembre del 2002 a mayo del 2003 (37°, 03', S.; 72°, 33' O.). Los caballos se mantuvieron a potrero sin tratamientos antiparasitarios. Después de cada conteo se extrajeron algunos huevos para ser analizados en el laboratorio y luego se procedió a teñir los restantes con una solución de azul de metileno con el fin de poder determinar los nuevos huevos depositados en la próxima fecha de observación. G. nasalis inició la oviposición en la región intermandibular de los caballos a fines de noviembre de 2002. Las posturas máximas de 853 y 945 huevos durante dos semanas se registraron en los 10 caballos a mediados de diciembre de 2002 y a mediados de enero de 2003 respectivamente. Luego se mantuvo la postura en alrededor de 300 huevos cada dos semanas, hasta inicios de abril y concluyó en mayo de 2003. El período de oviposición coincidió con temperaturas medias superiores a los 15°C; las precipitaciones influyeron negativamente sobre la postura de huevos. A inicios de marzo de 2003 se registró sorpresivamente la oviposición de huevos de G. intestinalis en las regiones preesternal, del encuentro, costo-esternal, inguinal y los miembros de los caballos. El número de huevos aumentó en forma constante hasta mediados de abril, superando los 2000 huevos en dos semanas en los 10 caballos. Por la ubicación de la postura de los huevos y su particular morfología se confirma la presencia de G. intestinalis en Chile. No se pudo determinar el momento en que concluye su oviposición ni la relación con las condiciones climáticas. Se concluye que G. nasalis comienza la oviposición a fines de noviembre y dura hasta inicios de mayo, coincidiendo con temperaturas medias superiores a 15° C. Por otra parte, se demuestra la presencia de G. intestinalis en Chile, que comienza su oviposición a comienzos de marzo

          The aim of this study was to determine the egg laying period of Gasterophilus nasalis and to examine whether there is a relationship with the climatic conditions of the area. Every two weeks, from November 2002 to March 2003, the number of eggs laid in the submaxilar region of 10 Hackney horses of a farm near Yumbel, in the 8th Region of Chile (37°, 03', S.; 72°, 33', O.), was determined. The horses were kept in a pasture without antiparasitic treatment during the study. After each egg count, a sample of eggs was removed for laboratory analysis while the remaining eggs were stained with an aqueous solution of methylene blue in order to distinguish them from those eggs laid during the following two weeks. Climatic data were obtained from a meteorological station close by. G. nasalis was found to begin laying its eggs at the end of November 2002. The quantity of eggs laid in the intermandibular region of the 10 horses, peaked in mid December 2002 (853 eggs) and again in mid January 2003 (945 eggs). Afterwards, the quantity of eggs laid dropped to 300 every two weeks until the beginning of April and ended completely in May 2003. The egg laying period of G. nasalis coincided with mean temperatures over 15° C. Rainfall negatively influenced the egg laying of the parasite. In March and April 2003, a consistent increase in the numbers of eggs laid by G. intestinalis was detected surprisingly in the chest, shoulder joint, loin region and on the front and hind legs. More than 2000 eggs were counted in the 10 animals, confirming the presence of G. intestinalis in Chile. The moment when G. intestinalis stopped laying eggs and the existence of a relationship with climatic conditions were not able to the confirmed. It was concluded that in Chile, G. nasalis lays eggs from the end of November until the beginning of May, coinciding with mean temperatures over 15° C., and that G. intestinalis begins the oviposition at the beginning of March

            Field observations of the host-parasite relationship associated with the common horse bot fly, Gasterophilus intestinalis.

            Behavior of Gasterophilus intestinalis (Diptera: Gasterophilidae) was observed in the laboratory and field over a period of 10 years. Mating occurred in a frenzied manner as flies emerged from pupae. Males attempted to copulate with females that had not fully emerged from the pupal case. Mating was never observed in the field or near the horse. Observations suggest that fecal piles of the horse are used as the mating site for the newly hatched flies. Activation of host-seeking behavior was found to occur early and remain throughout the life span of the adult as it sought multiple hosts for oviposition. Evidence is presented supporting the use of olfaction and vision in finding the host. Interest by flies in shadows and linear high-contrast objects was observed. Methods used by the flies to maintain close proximity with the host are discussed including flight with the host and avoidance of host defenses. Recapture methods were successful in determining the time taken to reestablish at the host, and extent of travel to the host. The presence of kairomone(s) within horse secretions is suspected.
