Popis: The paper analyses aspects of the proliferation of flies in São Paulo State as regards their sanitary importance. The most usual flies are from the Muscidae, Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae families. The presence of these vectors is due to the disposal of vinasse on the soil, organic residues used in crop production and the lack of basic sanitary facilities. Their proliferation is intensified in the alcohol production and sugar-cane crop areas, and by poultry activities (in keeping with the country's economic model based upon the export of poultry and manufactured goods, and urbanization). Some attempts to control the proliferation of flies are discussed. Expert staff participation for the control of vectors in organic waste disposal on the soil was found to be necessary.
