Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The numbers of Tabanus nipponicus and T. humilis collected between 2022 and 2024 increased significantly compared to those collected between 2005 and 2009 in the Arimine area of Toyama Prefecture, Japan. This increase is thought to be associated with the invasion of Sika deer, which serve as a blood source for these flies.
