چکیده مقاله:

Background: Domestic filth flies play a significant role in the transmission of nosocomial infections and cause nosocomial myiasis in hospitals worldwide.Objectives: The aim of the current study was to determine the diversity, distribution, and abundance of filth flies associated with nuisance, myiasis, and mechanical transmission of pathogens in five hospitals in southern Iran.Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in five hospitals of the Hormozgan province, of southern Iran. Adult flies were collected by means of hand catch and fly traps. Specimens were pinned and morphologically identified using the relevant keys. Species biodiversity indices including Margalef (R), Shannon–Wiener (H̕), Pielou s Evenness (E) and Simpson’s diversity (D) were calculated.Results: Totally 2298 individuals of 19 species of flies belonging to nine genera and four families were collected. Chrysomya megacephala was the most frequent species (37.3%), followed by Chrysoma albiceps (24.8%), Fannia canicularis (5.1%), Musca domestica (4.8%), Sarcophaga aegyptica (3.7%), and 15 other species (24.4%). Our results show a high diversity (R ˃2.43, H̕ ˃1.4, E ˃0.48, D˃0.53) and abundance of domestic filth flies in the studied hospitals.Conclusion: The present study provides important information about the diversity, distribution and abundance of domestic filth flies species which can be found in hospital environment.
