DISEASES INFECTED BY FLIES.

   For some time it was thought that some common diseases were disappearing, but recent studies of the WHO show that  diseases such as typhoid, malaria and yellow fever are reviving.

Flies transmit many diseases when touching contaminated objects.

   The main cause is that the insects resist more and more to chemical insecticides, medicines and to their own microbes. All this is favored by the bad use of drugs and insecticides and by the incomplete treatments generating resistance to microorganisms and microbes. Also the climate change favours the habitat of insects and its rapid spread to other areas not accustomed to them.
  

The flies'larvae need a few days for hatching.

    The flies live as parasites under the skin of animals, producing larvae infestations and transmitting diseases such as:

•  Cholera is a bacterial intestinal disease, producing liquid diarrhea, vomit, muscular cramps and liquids losses of the body; in very serious cases it can produce death.

•  Typhoid is an infectious acute disease provoked by a salmonella bacterium; it begins with general discomfort, weakness, loss of appetite, headache and constipation.

• Dysentery can be described as a diarrhea with blood. The disease includes abdominal cramps, fever and rectal pain. It can have infectious complications concerning the kidney.

• Worms parasitic in slight infections is asymtomatic; in more serious processes it shows vomits, diarrheas, anorexia and nervous alterations.

•  Salmonellosis is a food poisoning produced by the bacterium Salmonella. This microorganism is transmitted by contaminated food, which generally neither smell nor even taste differently, so that they seem in good condition. It starts by strong diarrheas, fever and abdominal pains, to continue the following day with vomits and strong headaches.

•  Trachoma is produced by the black fly. It is an infection in the eyes produced by a microorganism, transmitted by the sting of the fly that carries the microorganism. This disease is the principal cause of blindness in the world. It affects the populations who live in precarious sanitary conditions.

•  Other diseases associated with the flies are trasmited by the pathogenic fungi that they carry.
