Though they are not considered to be important vectors, stable flies and related species can have direct economic impacts, and as well might influence pathogen transmission by affecting the feeding behaviour of flies such as tsetse. We discuss here the responses of Stomoxyinae to hostbased kairomones. Further, we consider the interplay between these Diptera, other vectors and their common hosts as it relates to disease epidemiology and control strategies. In general, we find that the odour-evoked responses of stable flies in the laboratory are similar to other groups of fast moving Diptera that blood feed (e.g. tsetse), i.e. activity increases and flights are steered upwind. In field studies, several compounds have been associated with increased catch of Stomoxyinae from traps, but only CO₂ consistently achieved this effect. On the whole, results suggest that non- CO₂ kairomones are not that important to host finding by Stomoxys and, further, that synthetic host odours in general might not have a place in sampling or control schemes for this pest. We also describe the interplay between Stomoxyinae and their hosts, highlighting the role that their feeding behaviour might have as regards the epidemiology of animal trypanosomiasis. Finally, we discuss briefly some of the potential practical applications that might arise from a better understanding of the interrelationship between Stomoxys species and their hosts.
