Changes in the abundance of the house fly, Musca domestica, was studied for a period of one year in two poultry farms in Penang, Malaysia: one in Balik Pulau, located in Penang island, and the other in Juru, located on mainland Penang. The sampling of house flies were carried out from March 2007 to April 2008 using the Scudder grill, and the correlation with meteorological conditions particularly rainfall, relative humidity and temperature were observed. In Balik Pulau, the fly abundance showed an inverse relationship to relative humidity and total rainfall. However, no significant correlations were found between the abundance of flies and the above mentioned climatic factors. In contrast, the occurrence of flies in Juru showed strong correlation indices with relative humidity (r=0.803, p<0.05) and total rainfall (r=0.731, p<0.05). Temperature had no significant effect on the abundance of flies in both poultry farms due to imperceptible changes in monthly temperature.
在马来西亚槟城的两个家禽养殖场对家蝇（Musca domestica）数量的变化进行了为期一年的研究：一个位于槟城岛的峇六拜，另一个位于槟城大陆的朱鲁。从2007年3月至2008年4月使用斯卡德格栅对家蝇进行采样，并观察其与气象条件特别是降雨量、相对湿度和温度的相关性。在峇六拜，家蝇数量与相对湿度和总降雨量呈负相关。然而，未发现家蝇数量与上述气候因素之间存在显著相关性。相比之下，朱鲁的家蝇出现情况与相对湿度（r = 0.803，p < 0.05）和总降雨量（r = 0.731，p < 0.05）呈现出很强的相关指数。由于月温度变化不明显，温度对两个家禽养殖场的家蝇数量均无显著影响。
