“…The morphological characteristics of M. domestica larvae and adults, with a sucking type buccal apparatus and reduced spiracles, could be considered limiting for the entry of some nematode species (Renn 1998). Species in the Heterorhabditis genera are characterized by their motility and search capacity (Pinnock and Mullens 2007), a quality that probably makes them more efficient for infecting M. domestica as it was observed in the present study. Additionally, the reduced size of H. indica could favor the entry in fly immatures and adults.…”

“…In addition, M. domestica has developed resistance to conventional insecticides (Brogdon andMcAllister 1998, Martiradonna andSoto 2007). This is a reason for searching for more healthy alternatives for controlling the house fly, and biocontrol has been one of the most studied (Malik et al 2007, Pinnock andMullens 2007). One of the groups that has received special attention are the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae families (Geden 2012).…”

“…The house fly Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) originated in Africa (Legner and McCoy 1966, Pinnock and Mullens 2007) and currently has a cosmopolitan distribution (Marshall 2012). M. domestica is one of the main pests of medical and veterinary importance.…”

We evaluated the pathogenicity of the entomopathogenic nematodes native to Mexico, Heterorhabditis indica, Heterorhabditis sp. and Steinernema sp., towards M. domestica under controlled conditions. For adults, concentrations of 1,600 (A) and 1,200 (B) nematodes/ml were considered. For larvae, only the first concentration applied to filter paper, wheat bran, and peat moss as substrates was evaluated. An analysis of variance showed that the differences in adult mortality were only significant (p = 0.0001) among nematode species but not among concentrations within species. However, differences were significant (p = 0.0001) when data were analyzed when 50% of the individuals died (LT50). For H. indica, the LT50 were 46.5 h and 65.8 h for the concentrations A and B, respectively. Females were more susceptible than males. H. indica recorded the highest mortality, with 79.2% and 35.5% for females and males, respectively. Significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) were recorded in larval mortality. H. indica induced the highest mortality (53.3%) when applied on peat moss. The results are a fundamental basis for future management studies of M. domestica by entomopathogenic nematodes.

The house fly, Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is a global pest of humans and animals that carries scores of pathogens and costs up to $1 billion per year in the United States alone. Information is reviewed on recognition, distribution, biology, dispersal, and associations with microbes. Particular challenges of managing flies in different animal systems are discussed for swine, poultry, dairy cattle, beef feedlot, and equine operations. Effective fly management requires diligent monitoring and integration of cultural control, especially manure management, with mechanical control, traps, conservation or augmentative biological control, and judicious use of insecticides. House fly is notorious for developing insecticide resistance and its resistance status is summarized as of August 2020. Several critical research needs are identified. Monitoring systems and nuisance/action thresholds need improvement. Faster-killing strains and better formulations are needed to integrate pathogens into Integrated Pest management (IPM) programs. The use of parasitoids remains an inexact science with many questions remaining about species selection and release rates. New attractants are needed for use in traps and attract-and-infect/kill strategies. Screening of new active ingredients for toxicity should continue, including a rigorous assessment of essential oils and other botanicals. Rising global temperatures may affect the balance of the fly with natural enemies. An understanding of the fly microbiome may reveal unknown vulnerabilities, and much remains to be learned about how flies acquire, retain, and transmit human and animal pathogens. System-specific research is also needed to tailor fly IPM programs to individual animal systems, especially in organic and free-range animal production.
