Housefly (Musca Domestica) Infestation Is Increasing Due To Intense Heat

Houseflies (Musca domestica), known carriers of diseases such as anthrax, cholera, salmonella, tuberculosis, typhoid, and polio, feed on dried rice porridge (rice congee) stuck to the body of a pressure cooker during hot summer conditions in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 20, 2025. Rising summer temperatures accelerate the housefly’s life cycle, leading to faster hatching and development. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
