Bacteriophage: A Useful Tool for Studying Gut Bacteria Function of Housefly Larvae, Musca domestica [PDF]
Beneficial symbiotic bacteria have positive effects on some insects’ (such as mosquitoes, cockroaches, and flies) biological activities. However, the effects of a lack of one specific symbiotic bacterium on the life activities of some insects and their ...

Beneficial Bacteria in the Intestines of Housefly Larvae Promote Larval Development and Humoral Phenoloxidase Activity, While Harmful Bacteria do the Opposite [PDF]
The gut microenvironment of houseflies provides unique conditions for microbial colonization. Some gut microorganisms provide benefits for the development of the host by regulating the interaction between the host and intestinal pathogens.

Klebsiella pneumoniae in the intestines of Musca domestica larvae can assist the host in antagonizing the poisoning of the heavy metal copper [PDF]
Background Musca domestica larvae are common saprophytes in nature, promoting the material—energy cycle in the environment. However, heavy metal pollution in the environment negatively affects their function in material circulation. Our previous research

High-sugar diet leads to loss of beneficial probiotics in housefly larvae guts. [PDF]
Abstract The housefly (Musca domestica) is a common insect species with only a few recurrent bacterial taxa in its gut microbiota, because the numerous microbial acquisition routes in its septic habitats can favor transient microbes. Here, we investigated the role of the diet on the microbiota and the developmental success of a housefly ...
