Microorganisms isolated from digestive systems of Tabanidae (Diptera:Insecta) species

The females of Tabanidae species feed on homoitherm animals and even humans by sucking their blood. For this reason, they are vectors for many disease factors. There are numerous studies related to this concept. In this study, (Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila, A. veronii biovar sobria, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Alliococcus otitis, Bacillus alvei, B. mycoides, B. pumilis B, B.subtilis, Brevundimonas vesicularis, Burkholderia mallei, Cedecea davisae, Chryseobacterium indolegenes, Enterobacter aerogenes, E. amnigenus biogrup 2, E. asburiae, E. clocea, Enterococcus faecalis, E. gallinarum, Klebsiella oxytoca, Micrococcus lylae, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, P. alcaligenes, P. stutzeri, Raoultella terrigena, Serratia marcescens, S. plymuthica, Staphylococcus cohnii, S. epidermidis, S. equorum, S. hominis, S. hominis ss novobiosepticus, S. pasteuri, S. saprophyticus, Sphingomonas paucimobilis, Stenotrophomonas maltophila, Yersinia pestis) 36 bacteria species isolated Tabanidae species (Tabanus autumnalis Lınnaeus, T. miki Brauer in Brauer and Bergenstamm, T. spodopterus Meıgen, T. tinctus Walker, T. bromius Lınnaeus, T. quatuornotatus Meıgen, Hybomitra distinguenda (Verrall), Haematopota italica Meıgen, H. lambi Vılleneuve, H.subcylindrica Pandellé) were given from the province Eskisehir. All of the bacteria species were isolated from Tabanidae species for the first time. Keywords: Diptera, Tabanidae, Mechanical vectors, Isolated bacteria, Identification
