Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.

Adult Blow Flies Host Diverse Carrion‐Associated Microbiomes

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) perform important yet often overlooked roles in ecosystems as decomposers, pollinators and vectors of disease. Central to these functions are their associations with microbial communities, which are maintained through close contact with diverse microbe‐rich substrates such as carrion, dung and flowers.

Intracellular Concentration of Electrolytes in the Housefly [PDF]

Nature, 1969
THE concentrations of blood Na and K in the adult housefly, Musca domestica, fed a normal diet of milk and sugar are fairly constant. The usual amounts are Na, 109–140 mequiv./l., 0.11–0.14 M (2.4–3.2 (µg/µl.); K, 0.0–4 mequiv./l., 0.0–0.004 M (0.0–0.16 µg/µl.). Blood cells contain very small quantities of these ions.

Transmission of chlamydiae by the housefly. [PDF]

British Journal of Ophthalmology, 1981
The ability of the housefly to carry viable Chlamydia trachomatis and to transmit a chlamydial ocular infection was studied under laboratory conditions. After feeding flies (Musca domestica) on suspensions of egg yolk sac infected with C. trachomatis serotypes A or B (responsible for hyperendemic trachoma) the agents were reisolated from flies ...

Diversity of the Microbiomes in the Larval and Adult Stages of the European Cherry Fruit Fly (Rhagoletis cerasi) and Identification of Potential Biocontrol Candidate Taxa

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 999-1010, September 2026.
First comprehensive characterization of the R. cerasi microbiome is reported. Stage‐specific variations in microbial composition are documented. Multiple bacterial entomopathogen taxa are identified as potential biocontrol candidates for R. cerasi.

Characterization of Resistance Patterns and Detection of Apramycin Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli Isolated from Chicken Feces and Houseflies after Apramycin Administration

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of apramycin administration on the development of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains isolated from chicken feces and houseflies under field conditions. Chickens in the medicated

Collagen Hydrolysates From Tilapia Skin: Discovery of LGPL as a Bioactive Peptide Targeting RPN2 to Attenuate UVB‐Induced Photoaging

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 4, July 2026.
The key findings and main message of the work: (1) A novel collagen tetrapeptide LGPL with potent anti‐photoaging activity was identified. (2) LGPL mitigates skin photoaging by promoting cellular repair, reducing oxidative stress, and enhancing Type I collagen synthesis. (3) RPN2 is confirmed as the direct intracellular target of LGPL.

Effect of the size of the pupae, adult diet, oviposition substrate and adult population density on egg production in Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
In order to enhance the mass production of the house fly, Musca domestica, five aspects of its oviposition biology were analyzed. Oviposition substrate and the manner of its presentation, the composition of the diet of the adults, size of the pupae and ...

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.
