| problems of housing and health of people utilizing the garbage in cairo from the viewpoint of medical entomology. | more than 50 arthropod species were found at two dumping-grounds with dwelling-places (mokattam and ezbet el nakhl) in cairo. their importance was evaluated from the epidemiological and epizootological points of view. of primary importance is the great prevalence of the fleas (xenopsylla cheopis) on brown rats (rattus norvegicus), since the rats are in a close contact with people. they are often simultaneously parasitized with another flea species, ctenocephalides felis felis, which is very freq ... | 1989 | 2634080 |
| the role of some cyclorrhaphan flies as carriers of human helminths in malaysia. | the role of some adult flies (diptera: cyclorrhapha) as carriers of helminth parasites of man was studied at four sites in malaysia: a refuse dump, where no helminth-positive flies were detected, and in three peri-domestic situations where four species of flies carried up to three types of nematodes. the dominant fly species chrysomya megacephala (fabricius) carried eggs of the roundworm ascaris lumbricoides l., the pinworm trichuris trichiura (l.) and hookworm on the adult external body surface ... | 1988 | 2980156 |
| traps and baits for flies (diptera) on pacific islands. | studies conducted on oahu, hi, and on islands of the kwajalein atoll, marshall islands, demonstrated that adult house flies, musca domestica l., were attracted to a mixture of cooked rice and chicken and to a commercial bait, whereas adults of chrysomya megacephala f. and musca sorbens wiedemann were attracted to shark fluids or to ripe breadfruit. m. domestica and m. sorbens could be captured in standard inverted-cone traps, whereas c. megacephala could be captured in traps fitted with horizont ... | 1994 | 7815393 |
| isolations of enteric pathogens from synanthropic flies trapped in downtown kuala lumpur. | four species of synanthropic flies were trapped in downtown kuala lumpur: chrysomya megacephala, chrysomya rufifacies, musca domestica, and musca sorbens. burkholderia pseudomallei, the organism causing melioidosis, was the dominant bacteria isolated from chrysomya megacephala. klebsiella oxytoca, commonly associated with nosocomial infections, was commonly isolated from chrysomya megacephala, musca domestica, and musca sorbens. aeromonas hydrophila, the bacteria causing gastroenteritis, was pre ... | 2000 | 10925800 |
| human and other faeces as breeding media of the trachoma vector musca sorbens. | the fly musca sorbens wiedemann (diptera: muscidae) apparently transmits chlamydia trachomatis, causing human trachoma. the literature indicates that m. sorbens breeds predominantly in isolated human faeces on the soil surface, but not in covered pit latrines. we sought to identify breeding media of m. sorbens in a rural gambian village endemic for trachoma. test breeding media were presented for oviposition on soil-filled buckets and monitored for adult emergence. musca sorbens emerged from hum ... | 2001 | 11583450 |
