Biting flies are important vectors for disease transmission inruminants such as cattle and buffaloes where pathogenic organisms such as Trypanosoma evansi are transmitted. The NZI and Vavoua traps were applied to survey the population of biting flies such as stable flies (Muscidae: Stomoxyinae) and horse flies (Tabanidae) which are the vectors for this disease. Results indicated the presence of biting flies as well as Musca sp. and Haematobia sp. in several livestock farms in Perak that can transmit Trypanosomiasis. Vector control has been suggested to limit the occurrence of thedisease especially during rainy season when there is high morbidity and mortality in herds. These traps can be used as an eco friendly method to control flies in farms as well as a tool to collect vectors of veterinary importance for research purposes.
