“…Also, Lucilia sericata causes myiasis in sheep and is a vector for pathogens. Physiphora alceae can transmit various disease-causing organisms to food material and can reproduce in human corpses [27,30,35,36] . As well, Musca domestica is a mechanical or biological vector of many human pathogens and parasites such as typhoid, cholera, dysentery diseases; also it cause accidental myiasis of intestine and urinogenital Trachoma virus, leprosy, tuberculosis, and enteric infections…etc [18,37,38] .…”

Nuweiba city, South Sinai, Egypt is one of the poorly-studied areas in terms of the presence of medically-important dipteran species. Therefore, in the current study a survey of flies (order: Diptera) of medical importance in Nuweiba city was carried out during winter and summer of 2019. Six traps baited with two sources of attractantsdecayed fish pieces and a ready-made botanical extractwere used to collect the flies in four selected localities. A total of 374 individuals belonging to 11 species within 9 genera under 6 families (Culicidae, Ephydridae, Ulidiidae, Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae) were captured, and the identification key was provided. The highest numbers of adult flies were found in summer in "Habiba organic farm" using traps baited with decayed fish pieces (n=159). Two species (Musca domestica L. and Culex pipiens L.) were the most predominant species with a total of 141 and 100 captured specimens, respectively. The collected specimens included medically important species, as disease vectors and myiasis producers in humans and animals, which belong to three families (Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae); besides the two mosquito species (Culex pipiens and Culiseta longiareolata Macquart) that are known as vectors for many diseases of humans. In addition, Sarcophaga (Liopygia) surcoufi is newly recorded in Sinai. In conclusion, the aforementioned dipterous species may have the potential of transmitting diseases to the community dwellers in Nuweiba city; therefore, they must be controlled.

Flies are one of a mechanical vector that could spread a lot of disease, they also often get associated as a carriers of diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery, diarrhea, and etc. The presence of flies itself in one place can be used as an indicator that the area was less hygienic. The purpose of this research was to find out the diversity of fungi and flies at the Peterongan Market, Semarang. This research was an explanatory study that was using a survey method and laboratory examination with cross sectional approach. The population of this study was all the flies that caught at the Peterongan Market, Semarang. The sampling was done by using accidental sampling at three different stalls on the ground floor of Peterongan Market. There was 25 flies that caught in this research, including of Musca domestica, Phaenicia sericata, and Sarcophaga. There was also several fungal spores that accidently carried by the flies on their feet just like Mucor, Rhizopus arrhizus (Rhizopus oryzae), Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus. Most common flies and fungal spores that found in this research was Musca domestica and Aspergillus.

“…Houseflies faecal, sponge feeding and regurgitating behavior facilitates food-borne diseases transmission [6]. The most common diseases that are transmitted mechanically by the houseflies include, but not limited to poliomyelitis,cholera, typhoid fever, parasitic worms, bacillary dysentery, trachoma virus, epidemic conjunctivitis, shigellosis, salmonellosis and enteric infections [7,8]. Most of these pathogens may live inside and on M. domestica external surface for 5 -6 hours and to 35 days post-infestation [8,9].…”

“…Most of the diseases can alsobe contracted through contaminated food, water, air, hands and person-to-person contact [10]. The role of house flies as mechanical vectors of infectious diseases in humans has been suggested by the results of many experimental and field studies [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background:The housefly, Musca domestica, is a common household pest known to transmit human diseases like pathogenic bacteria, protozoa, metazoan, fungi and viruses. Apart from they are also responsible for transmitting intestinal parasites, which when outbreaks occur, could wreak havoc on both man and animals. The importance of house fly in disease transmission prompted this study to investigate the presence of intestinal parasites transmitted mechanically by houseflies that infested slaughterhouses in central markets in Khartoum state, Sudan.Methods: Thirty fly sticky ribbons were placed inside random slaughterhouses in three central markets in Khartoum, Khartoum North and Omdurman between May and June 2018. Collected flies were preserved in tubes filled with normal saline and kept in -20 °C, then morphological identification of the collected house flies was conducted using standard identification keys. Examination and identification of intestinal parasites transmitted mechanically by M. domestica flies was conducted using microscope and standard keys.Results: A total of 684 house flies were collected and examined during the course of this study. Out of this number, twenty (2.9%) house flies were found to harbor intestinal parasites from all sites. In the central market of Khartoum, 300 house flies were examined out of which 4.7% were infected (n = 14).Out of the 260 house flies examined in Khartoum North, 2.3% were infected (n = 6) while a total of 124 house flies were examined in Omdurman slaughterhouses with 18.1% infected. The identified intestinal parasites were Entamoeba coli cyst, Entamoeba histolytica/dispar cyst, Giardia lamblia flagellate, Giardia lamblia cyst, Hymenolepis nana egg and Taenia species egg with infectivity rates of 33.3%, 19%, 19%, 14.3%, 9.5% and 4.8% respectively of the total house flies collected. Conclusion:Findings of this study indicate a relatively high infectivity rate in the disease vectors. Since this research detected this high rate of gastrointestinal parasites in the flies, their role in disease transmission cannot be over emphasized. This highlight the prevalence of such disease like diarrhea in Khartoum. Hence, there is need to raise awareness on the need to improve hygiene and sanitation in the communities where these slaughterhouses are situated so as to prevent a possible outbreak.
