In this paper it is proposed that one potential component by which the Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus (MdSGHV) infects individual flies is through cuticular damage. Breaks in the cuticle allow entry of the virus into the hemocoel causing the infection. Male flies typically have a higher rate of infection and a higher rate of cuticular damage than females. A model for the transmission of MdSGHV was formulated assuming several potential and recognized means of transmission. The model yields results that are in agreement with field data that measured the infection rate in house flies on dairy farms in Florida. The results from this model indicate that MdSGHV will be maintained at a stable rate within house fly populations and support the future use of MdSGHV as a birth control agent in house fly management.
本文提出，家蝇唾液腺肥大病毒（MdSGHV）感染单个苍蝇的一个潜在因素是通过表皮损伤。表皮的破损使病毒进入血腔从而引发感染。雄性苍蝇的感染率和表皮损伤率通常高于雌性。在假定几种潜在且公认的传播方式的基础上，构建了一个MdSGHV的传播模型。该模型得出的结果与在佛罗里达州奶牛场测量家蝇感染率的现场数据一致。此模型的结果表明，MdSGHV将在家蝇种群中以稳定的速率维持，并支持未来将MdSGHV用作家蝇管理中的节育剂。
