Geoprocessing applied to the seasonality of Dermatobia hominis larvae in the municipality of Seropédica, Rio de Janeiro

Space-temporal associations between factors involved in the seasonal distribution of Dermatobia hominis (Linnaeus Jr., 1781) (Diptera: Cuterebridae) fly larvae in cattle were analyzed by geoprocessing using the geo-environment system of the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, in the municipality of Seropédica, RJ. In the spring, 50% of the area was favorable, reducing its extension to 35% in the summer, to 23% in the fall and to 12% in the winter.
