The phoretic association between Macrocheles muscaedomesticae and flies that inhabited poultry manure in a poultry farm in Sungai Buloh, Selangor, Malaysia was studied. The effects of temperature, relative humidity and fly abundance on phoretic rates also were investigated. The most abundant fly species found was Musca domestica; Musca sorbens, Chrysomyia megacephala and Ophyra chalcogaster were present in relatively large numbers. Representatives of ten families of mites were found on collected Mu. domestica. The most common mite was Ma. muscaedomesticae (Macrochelidae), found on all four species of flies mentioned above. The highest infestation (2.0%) occurred on O. chalcogaster but Mu. domestica had the highest average number infested (5.7). The ventral part of the housefly's abdomen was the most common site of mite attachment. Usually only one mite was found attached per fly. The highest phoretic rate recorded was 64.4 Ma. muscaedomesticae per 1000 Mu. domestica. There was no correlation between phoretic rates and Ma. muscaedomesticae abundance, nor was relative humidity a factor. However, a positive correlation was recorded in this host species between phoretic rates and temperature.
对马来西亚雪兰莪州双溪毛糯一个家禽养殖场中栖息在家禽粪便上的家蝇与厩真厉螨之间的携播关系进行了研究。还调查了温度、相对湿度和家蝇数量对携播率的影响。发现最常见的家蝇种类是家蝇；厩腐蝇、大头金蝇和铜绿蝇数量相对较多。在采集的家蝇上发现了十个螨科的代表。最常见的螨是厩真厉螨（厉螨科），在上述四种家蝇上均有发现。感染率最高（2.0%）出现在铜绿蝇上，但家蝇的平均感染数量最高（5.7）。家蝇腹部腹面是螨附着最常见的部位。通常每只家蝇只发现附着一只螨。记录到的最高携播率是每1000只家蝇中有64.4只厩真厉螨。携播率与厩真厉螨数量之间没有相关性，相对湿度也不是一个影响因素。然而，在这个宿主物种中，携播率与温度之间存在正相关。
