Abstract

The aim of this study is to diagnose the parasites, which are present in the Musca domestica insect which are carried on external surface skinappendages and internal surface gastrointestinal tract in which I grouped 150 samples from different places in Kirkuk city. My results of this study revealed that 41samples are infected which mean that the percentage of infection is % 27.In this study, five types of parasites are isolated for both ova and cyst phases which contain three types of protozoa and they are Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica and Endolimax nana and also contain two types of helminthes which are Ascaris lumbricoids and Ancykostoma doude nale.

The results of this study proved that the Musca domestica insect has a role in the transmission of pathological parasitic infection which may be a cause of infection to human beings by many diseases through their transmission of this parasites and as a result of that, We will find that it is necessary to control on Musca domestica insect groups and fight them.
