研究了叮蝇在反刍动物巴尔通体传播中的作用。48只颈脂蝇成虫94%、17只马尾蝇成虫71%、20只卵噬蝇成虫100%、10只卵噬蝇蛹100%扩增出83种海马科的柠檬酸巴尔通体合成酶基因。我们的研究结果表明，河马科在反刍动物之间巴尔通体的传播中发挥了作用。巴尔通体在羊支原体中的垂直传播和所有样本中巴尔通体DNA的存在表明巴尔通体与羊支原体之间存在共生关系。
The putative role of biting flies in Bartonella transmission among ruminants was investigated. Amplification of the Bartonella citrate synthase gene from 83 Hippoboscidae was detected in 94% of 48 adult Lipoptena cervi flies, 71% of 17 adult Hippobosca equina flies, 100% of 20 adult Melophagus ovinus flies, and 100% of 10 M. ovinus pupae. Our findings suggest that Hippoboscidae play a role in the transmission of Bartonella among ruminants. The vertical transmission of Bartonella in M. ovinus and the presence of Bartonella DNA in all samples suggest a symbiotic association between Bartonella and M. ovinus.
