Recent Occurrence of Tabanid Flies in the Arimine Area of the Toyama Prefecture and Its Relationship with the Invasion and Expansion of Shika Deer the Distribution
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.
