Houseflies harbor less diverse microbiota under laboratory conditions but maintain a consistent set of host-associated bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2022
The housefly (Musca domestica) is a wide-ranging insect, often associated with decaying matter from livestock and humans. The septic environments in which houseflies live are believed to be a rich source for microbial acquisition.

Target-Size-Dependent Application of Electrostatic Techniques for Pest Management in Greenhouses

Agronomy, 2022
Two new electrostatic devices were developed to manage greenhouse insect pests. One was an electrostatic insect catcher (EIC) to trap small flying pests, and the other was an arc-discharge zapper (ADZ) to kill larger insects emerging from soil beds.

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

Studies on Tyrosinase in Housefly [PDF]

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1962
Occurrence of protyrosinase in the prepupae of housefly, Musca vicina Maquart, and its activation were described. The prepupae possessing no appreciable tyrosinase activity could be separated from the other aged pupae by putting them into water. Homogenate prepared from the prepupae contains protyrosinase and has no activation system for the proenzyme.

Integrated genome-wide investigations of the housefly, a global vector of diseases reveal unique dispersal patterns and bacterial communities across farms

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) live in intimate association with numerous microorganisms and is a vector of human pathogens. In temperate areas, houseflies will overwinter in environments constructed by humans and recolonize surrounding areas
