It is a primary pest of cattle in the United States, estimated to cause more than $1 billion in economic losses annually. It also causes dissention at the rural-urban interface and is a problem in recreation areas such as Florida beaches and the Great Lakes. Due to its pestiferous nature and painful bite, methods to control stable flies have been investigated for over a century. A large amount of research has been reported on stable fly biology, ecology, genetics, physiology, and vector competence. For this bibliography, literature has been gathered from journals and other resources available to the authors, and a selected number of articles have been annotated. This bibliography represents an update of literature published since 1980; literature from pre-1980 was included if copy could be ascertained.

(In Portugese). The development of eggs, larvae and pupae of Stomoxys calcitrans was studied at 20. 25, 30 amd 35°C. Duration of each stage decreased with increased temperature. The best temperature for development was 25°C, and 35°C proved harmful to larval development. Ajidagba, P., C. W. Pitts, and D. E. Bay. 1983.

Evaluation of Stomoxys calcitrans (Diptera: Muscidae) behavioral response to human and related odors in a triple cage olfactometer with insect traps. J. Med. Entomol. 37: 308-315. Behavioral responses of stable flies to chemostimulants were categorized into 4 steps: activation, orientation, attraction and probing. The main stimuli included human breath, a human hand, and CO2. The highest response occurred when there was no air flow to disperse the odor. CO2 induced activation but not probing. Ameri, M., X. Wang, M. J. Wilkerson, M. R. Kanost, and A. B. Broce. 2008. An immunoglobulin binding protein (Antigen 5) of the stable fly (Diptera: Muscidae) salivary gland stimulates bovine immune responses. J. Med. Entomol. 45: 94-101. A stable fly salivary gland protein, a homolog of insect antigen 5, was tested to determine whether the protein suppressed bovine lymphocyte production, to determine specificity of the protein, and to test whether calves immunized with Ag5 would produce antibodies and memory lymphocytes. A recombinant form of the protein was used in the study, as well as the natural form. Amor, T. B., and G. Jori. 2000.

Transmission of poliomyelitis by means of the stable fly (Stomoxys calcitrans). Public Health Rep. 27: 3-5. Transmission of poliomyelitis by stable flies was tested using monkeys. Two monkeys were inoculated with the virus, and then exposed to several hundred stable flies. The flies were then allowed to bite healthy monkeys. The healthy monkeys that were bitten by the flies which had fed on the inoculated monkeys soon also acquired the disease. It was concluded that poliomyelitis could be transmitted by the bite of stable flies. Anderson, J. F., and W. H. Frost. 1913. Poliomyelitis.
