description The Housefly (Musca domestica Linnaeus, 1758) lives in close proximity to humans, posing a variety of health risks. They are mechanical vectors capable of spreading an arraying of infections and annoy humans. More than 100 types of pathogens, including bacterial, viral, and protozoan, are transmitted by houseflies, and in this review, we describe 5 of them: Cholera, Anthrax, Shigella, ORF Virus, and Ascariasis. Cholera is a rigorous flux ailment initiated via the Vibrio cholerae bacteria contaminating the intestines. The ailment is often modest or does not present symptoms, but it can also be dangerous and lead to death, while anthrax is a harmful infective illness brought about by Bacillus anthracis. Shigellosis (Shigella infection) is a gastrointestinal ailment caused by Shigella spp. Bloody diarrhea is the most common sign of shigella infection. Houseflies are a severe health hazard for humans, causing discomfort, disease, and even death. Studies that assess the impact of Houseflies on humans were briefed. Articles on PubMed, Google Scholar, and other online reports, 50 in number, were reviewed.The genesis and life cycle of houseflies, their mode of disease transmission, commonly transmitted diseases are all discussed in this paper. Biological, chemical, and cultural control are some of the common control strategies discussed.
