Body Water-Mediated Conductivity Actualizes the Insect-Control Functions of Electric Fields in Houseflies

Insects, 2020
In the present study, the relationship between body water loss and conductivity was examined in adult houseflies (Musca domestica). The events an insect experiences in an electric field are caused by the conductive nature of the insect body (i.e ...

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
