“…The habits of all traditional market entrepreneurs with existing modern markets practicing washing vegetables before they are sold show negative results for parasitic contamination. These results are in line with studies conducted by Deakpe, Manyi, & Utume (2018) which found that the modern market was in the two lowest possible ascending spheres from the 7 locations studied. This factor influences the presence of STH in vegetables such as the use of organic fertilizer derived from animal livestock as a medium for fertilizing vegetables.…”

Soil Transmitted Helmiths (STH) infections is still a problem in many areas of the world, there are more than 1.5 billion people, or 2.4% of the world population is infected with intestinal worms that are transmitted through the soil. STH distribution in Indonesia includes all islands in Indonesia, where the prevalence is highest in Papua and North Sumatra with a prevalence of between 50% to 80%. One source of infection was water and mud used in the cultivation of vegetables. Contamination worms may occur especially on vegetables that propagate in the soil or close to the soil. This research is performed in an analytic study with cross sectional design. vegetables are included in the sample in this research was lettuce, leeks, cabbage, spinach, and mustard as many as 50 samples taken from traditional markets and modern markets in Medan city. From the results done, it is known that the highest positive results is in traditional markets as much as 10 vegetables or (40.0%) and the lowest positive results is in modern markets as much as 3 vegetables or (25.0%). Based on these results we can conclude that there are differences between traditional markets and modern markets as evidenced by the value of p in this comparison are p=0,035, So there are differences of Soil Transmitted helminths contamination in raw vegetables sold in traditional markets and modern markets.

“…Housefly causes mechanical transmission of pathogens from one vertebrate host to another without amplification or development of the organism within the vector. Bacterial and fungi were the most frequently isolated pathogens, parasites and viruses were the least frequently isolated pathogens (Deakpe et al 2018).…”

“…The identification of the isolated fungi was carried out using the methods described by Phoku et al 2016, while the identification of yeasts followed the scheme of Awache and Farouk 2016. According to Deakpe et al 2018, the flies were placed into a plastic container and transported to the laboratory of parasitology to labeled specimen bottles carrying information like date, location, and type of sites. In the laboratory, the flies were demobilized by placing the fly traps and their contents inside a refrigerator or chest freezer to chill the flies within 20-40 min.…”

Background: Musca domestica is the most common flies all over the world. More than 100 pathogens may cause diseases in human and animals. Houseflies transmitted helminthic eggs, protozoa cysts and trophozoites, bacteria fungi, and virus by mechanical transmission through its vomits or excreta. Musca domestica lives closely with humans and domestic animals, and often found in areas of human activities such as restaurants, hospitals, food centers, food markets, fish markets, and slaughterhouses. Material and methods: Fly samples were collected from human houses, poultry farms and cattle byres placed on the bottom of a wide-mouthed sterile glass and covered with sterile sheets of gauze on which the attracted flies were trapped. Isolation parasites from external surface and digestive tract of fly, also, bacterial, fungi, and virus were identified using morphological and biological characteristics. Results: Houseflies transmitted many of helminthic eggs as E. vermicularis, S. stercoralis, T. trichiura and T. caracanis, Trichomonas, Diphyllobothriam, hymenolepis, taenia and Dipylidium species, and protozoa cysts and trophozoites as E. histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and some bacteria as E. coli, Shigella species and Salmonella. In addition to viral, fungal are also isolated. Control methods are used for suppression of housefly population. These methods included cultural, biological, and chemical. Conclusion: The common housefly is a mechanical vector of transmission of pathogens including parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The combination of different methods for control and prevention or eradication of houseflies should be implemented to stop human or animal diseases. In high-risk areas health education, proper environmental sanitation, and personal hygiene are strongly advocated.

“…Because of their association to dirty environments caused by poor sanitary conditions by humans with faeces, garbage etc., as well as their anthropogenic activities, which allows them pick up pathogens on their body parts, they pose a serious threat to public health (Oghale et al, 2013;Oyeyemi et al, 2016;Onyenwe et al, 2016). The ability of houseflies to mechanically transmit human intestinal parasites and pathogens have been well document (Dipeolu, 1977;Oghale et al, 2013;Balla et al, 2014;Oyeyemi et al, 2016;Amaechi et al, 2017;Deakpe et al, 2018). Houseflies have also been reported as mechanical vectors of pathogenic organisms among humans and animals (Vazirianzadeh et al, 2008).…”

“…In Nigeria, house flies have been reported to harbor parasitic pathogenic parasites and bacteria on their bodies and internal parts (Dipeolu, 1977;Oghale et al, 2013;Balla et al, 2014;Oyeyemi et al, 2016;Amaechi et al, 2017;Deakpe et al, 2018). Therefore, with the abundant multiple recorded roles of flies as potential vectors, there is dearth of knowledge on their role as mechanical transmitters of parasitic diseases in Jalingo metropolis, Taraba State.…”

House flies (Musca domestica) are nuisance pest because of their ubiquitous nature in the mechanical transmission of parasites to man. This study identifies the pathogenic parasites associated with house fly in Jalingo, Nigeria. A total of 200 flies were collected from 4 locations (Abattoir, Jalingo Main Market, Kasuwan Bera and Mile-Six Market) within Jalingo metropolis between August, 2019 and November, 2019. Three species of flies were identified during the study namely; Musca spp, Sacophage spp and Stomoxys spp. The house flies were analyzed for the presence pathogenic parasites using standard laboratory techniques. The results showed that the parasites E. histolytica 25(28.74 %), Taenia spp 25(28.74 %), A. lumbricoides 20(22.99 %), Giardia lamblia 8(9.20 %) and Trichuris trichiura 9(10.34 %) are associated with the house flies. The results showed no significant variation (X2= 0.61, p>0.05) between the parasites species. It can be concluded that house flies in Jalingo harbor pathogenic parasites on their bodies. The fact that houseflies have been incriminated to be mechanical transmitters of pathogenic diseases to man because of their anthropogenic lifestyles, measures must be taken to control fly population in order to avert both the present and future outbreak of disease conditions emanating from the flies activities.
