A Simple Window Screen to Create Electric Discharges for Repelling and Exterminating Stable Flies and Houseflies in Cattle Barns

Agriculture
The current study aimed to create an electrostatic window screen to keep stable flies and houseflies out of cattle barns. The screen comprised three identical framed metal nets arranged in parallel at specific intervals.

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

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

Housefly: Common zoonotic diseases transmitted and control

Journal of Zoonotic Diseases, 2022
The Housefly (Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758) lives in close proximity to humans, posing a variety of health risks. They are mechanical vectors capable of spreading an arraying of infections and annoy humans. More than 100 types of pathogens, including

The microbiomes of blowflies and houseflies as bacterial transmission reservoirs

, 2021
Blowflies and houseflies are mechanical vectors inhabiting synanthropic environments around the world. They feed and breed in fecal and decaying organic matter, but the microbiome they harbour and transport is largely uncharacterized.

Luring houseflies (Musca domestica Diptera: Muscidae) to traps: Do cuticular hydrocarbons and visual cues increase catch? [PDF]

, 2009
Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) are a major pest species of livestock units and landfill sites used for the disposal of domestic waste. Of the many methods used to limit housefly populations, the most common are chemical control and lure-and-kill trap ...
