| Popis: | The main goal of this study was the monitoring of the population fluctuation of the prevalent dipterous fly species complex and to generate a baseline data in Jeddah Governorate and it’s surroundings using malaise and yellow sticky traps in animal pens including sheep, cow, cattle and vegetable market. Data recovered indicated the continued presence of four prevalent fly species including the tachinid species complex, the house fly Musca domestica L., the flesh fly Sarcophaga carnaria and the hover fly (Sphaerophoria) at the rate of 59.91%, 23.55%, 16.14% and 0.41% respectively. It is noteworthy to report the continued presence throughout the year of the tachinid species complex which might indicate it’s efficiency in suppressing the fly population, the fluctuation of other prevalent species that are present extantly. |
