A.  aTransmission of Equine Infectious Anemia virus by Tabanus fuscicostatus.  c1976  aThe mechanical trasmission of equine infectious anemia (EIA) virus by Tabanus fuscicostatus was investigated. In 1 oy 7 transmission trials, a single horsefly transmitted EIA virus from an acutely infected pony to a susceptible pony. Groups of horseflies isolated for 3, 10, or 30 minutes before refeeding trasmited EIA virus, whereas those isolated for 4 or 24 hours did not. Data from field studies indicate that the home range or flight distance of horseflies may exceed 4 miles. That information together with our observations suggest that segregation of infected horses (usually defined as at least 200 yeards from susceptible horses) as a control measure for EIA may not be an adequate safeguard against transmission in areas where horseflies are numerous.  aequine infectious anemia  aTabanus fuscicostatus  aVírus  aAnemia Infecciosa equina  aTransmissao  aTransmission1 aADAMS JUNIOR, W.
