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 ...

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.

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.

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

Molecular Detection and Antibiotyping of Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella Isolated from Houseflies in a Fish Market

Pathogens, 2019
Houseflies (Musca domestica) are well-known mechanical vectors for spreading multidrug-resistant bacteria. Fish sold in open markets are exposed to houseflies.

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

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

Use of Electric Discharge for Simultaneous Control of Weeds and Houseflies Emerging from Soil

Insects, 2020
An electrostatic apparatus was developed to control weeds and houseflies emerging from ground soil in a greenhouse simultaneously. Identical iron plates were placed in parallel at a defined interval and fixed in an iron frame.

Turmeric shortens lifespan in houseflies. [PDF]

Front Insect Sci
Climate change poses a significant threat to food security and global public health with the increasing likelihood of insect pest outbreaks. Alternative ways to control insect populations, preferably using environmental-friendly compounds, are needed.

Bacterial Communities Associated with Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) Sampled within and between Farms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The housefly feeds and reproduces in animal manure and decaying organic substances and thus lives in intimate association with various microorganisms including human pathogens. In order to understand the variation and association between bacteria and the
