Pathogens associated with houseflies from different areas within a New York State dairy

JDS Communications, 2022
Houseflies (Musca domestica) are nonbiting muscoids of importance because they can be mechanical vectors of many kinds of pathogens such as bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and helminth eggs.

Short-term particulate matter contamination severely compromises insect antennal olfactory perception [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2023
The consequences of sub-lethal levels of ambient air pollution are underestimated for insects, for example, the accumulation of particulate matter on sensory receptors located on their antennae may have detrimental effects to their function. Here we show

Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli from Houseflies in Commercial Turkey Farms Are Frequently Resistant to Multiple Antimicrobials and Exhibit Pronounced Genotypic Diversity

Pathogens, 2023
Campylobacter is a leading foodborne pathogen, and poultry are a major vehicle for infection. Houseflies play important roles in colonization of broiler flocks with Campylobacter but comparable information for turkey farms is limited.

Deltamethrin Application on Pre-Weaned Calves Improves Feed Consumption, Stress and Fatigue Status under Heat Stress Conditions

Pathogens, 2022
Fly infestation remains a universal problem for dairy cattle herds, affecting the animals’ health and welfare status. Pre-weaned dairy calves are significantly challenged by the direct and indirect consequences of severe fly infestation, heat-stress and ...

A Simple and Safe Electrostatic Method for Managing Houseflies Emerging from Underground Pupae

Agronomy, 2023
A simple electrostatic apparatus that generates an arc discharge was devised to control adult houseflies emerging from a soil bed in a greenhouse. Adult houseflies emerging from a soil bed in a greenhouse are a potential vector of pathogenic Escherichia ...

Bacterial Communities Associated with Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) Inhabiting Hospices in South Africa

Microorganisms, 2023
Houseflies are alleged reservoirs as well as vectors of human and animal pathogens, including bacteria, because they frequently have contact with animal excreta and decaying organic substances.

Molecular characterization of multidrug-resistant bacteria isolated from the external and internal parts of the housefly

Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2023
House flies are mechanical vectors of food borne enteric pathogenic bacteria which may transfer isolates to human and produce diseases. In Bangladesh, there is very limited data on molecular characterization of drug-resistant bacteria from isolated house

Detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their resistance genes from houseflies [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Houseflies (Musca domestica) are synanthropic insects which serve as biological or mechanical vectors for spreading multidrug-resistant bacteria responsible for many infectious diseases. This study aimed to detect antibiotic-resistant

Transgenerational effects of lambda-cyhalothrin on Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae)

Scientific Reports, 2022
The hormetic effect may cause disease control measures to fail due to inadequate treatment of human disease vectors such as houseflies. Age-stage, two-sex life table is used for accurate estimation of the hermetic impacts on insects as it allows to study
