Poster Print : Horse fly gut, SEM
Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Horse fly gut, SEM
Horse fly gut. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the gut of a horse fly (Tabanus sp.). Male horse flies feed on nectar, but females feed on blood, inflicting a painful bite on horses, humans and other large mammals. They may act as vectors for several Trypanosoma sp. parasites, which they can transmit to livestock animals when they feed. The life cycle of these parasites includes a multiplication stage within the gut of the horse fly. Magnification: x250 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and colorful world within the gut of a horse fly. In this scanning electron micrograph (SEM), we get a close-up view of the digestive system of Tabanus sp. , a species known for its painful bites on horses, humans, and other large mammals. While male horse flies feed on nectar, it is the females that inflict those notorious blood-sucking bites. The image not only highlights the anatomy of this insect's gut but also sheds light on its role as a potential vector for Trypanosoma sp. parasites. These parasites can be transmitted to livestock animals during feeding, causing trypanosomiasis - a serious disease with detrimental effects on animal health. At 250 times magnification and printed at 6x7cm size, every detail in this SEM comes to life. The vibrant colors emphasize the complexity of nature's design even within such small creatures. This photograph serves as a reminder of how interconnected different species are in our ecosystem and how diseases can spread through these intricate relationships. Whether you're interested in zoology, wild life photography or simply fascinated by nature's wonders, this print from Science Photo Library is sure to captivate your imagination with its stunning portrayal of an often overlooked aspect of horse fly biology.
