The stable fly

The paper provides literature review on the relationship among climatic conditions, ecological characteristics of the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans L.) and the observed spread of lumpy skin disease across the Russian Federation in 2015-2019. This study was carried out to gain an insight into a role of this potential vector in LSDV transmission. Data analysis shows that the flight activity of the stable fly mainly fits into the seasonal pattern of LSD outbreaks. However, there were outbreaks that occurred outside the period of the stable fly flight activity, pointing to other routes of transmission
