title: [Simuliosis--dermatosis caused by black flies. A forgotten epizootic infection?].
abstract: Bites of black flies (Simuliidae) can produce strong ictus reactions in humans, associated with rubor, central hemorrhages, swellings, hemorrhagic erythema and edema. This can be accompanied by impairment of the general state of health. Suitable weather conditions may result in mass multiplication of the species. As a consequence man and animals may be seriously molested. Starting from strong ictus reactions of a patient the case report and therapy of simuliosis (simuliotoxicosis) as well as some points of the biology of black flies are described.
