House flies are capable of carrying over 100 pathogens, such as those causing typhoid, cholera, salmonellosis,[12] bacillary dysentery,[13] tuberculosis, anthrax, ophthalmia, and parasitic worms.[14] Some strains have become immune to the most common insecticides.[15][16]

House flies feed on liquid or semiliquid substances beside solid material which has been softened by salivating or vomit. Because of their large intake of food, they deposit feces constantly,[citation needed] which is one of the factors that makes the insect a dangerous carrier of pathogens. Although they are domestic flies, usually confined to human habitations, they can fly for several miles from the breeding place.[17] They are active only in daytime, and rest at night, e.g., at the corners of rooms, ceiling hangings, cellars, and barns, where they can survive the coldest winters by hibernation, and when spring arrives, adult flies are seen only a few days after the first thaw.
As a transmitter of disease

Mechanical transmission of organisms on its hairs, mouthparts, vomitus and feces:

parasitic diseases: cysts of protozoa e.g. Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia and eggs of helminths, e.g., Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura, Hymenolepis nana, Enterobius vermicularis.
bacterial diseases: typhoid, cholera, dysentery, pyogenic cocci, etc. House flies have been demonstrated to be vectors of Campylobacter and E. coli O157:H7 using PCR.[18] House flies can be monitored for bacterial pathogens using filter paper spot cards and PCR [19]
Viruses: enteroviruses: poliomyelitis, viral hepatitis (A & E)..etc.
