What Are the Risk Factors for Disease Transmission by Houseflies?
Several factors increase the risk of disease transmission by houseflies:
- Poor sanitation: Accumulation of garbage, open latrines, and unsanitary food handling practices attract houseflies. - Warm climates: Houseflies thrive in warm and humid conditions, increasing their population. - Urban areas: High population density and poor waste management in urban areas provide abundant breeding grounds for houseflies.
