| Significance : Apart from the biting flies, all species feed by vomiting saliva on to the food surface, treading it in and sucking up the resulting liquid. In the course of doing so, the fly contaminates the food with bacteria from its gut and its feet. Thus, it may transmit food poisoning, dysentery, typhoid or cholera in countries where these occur. The eggs of parasitic worms may also be carried by flies. Control : Good hygiene is the first step to controlling flies – as is keeping food sealed and protected. Electric fly traps are very effective for a wide range of fly species, and there are various chemical treatments that can also be effective as part of a treatment course.
