To assess the extent to which climate may affect the abundance of Musca sorbens, a putative vector of trachoma.
Studies were identified by systematically searching online databases including CAB abstracts, Embase, Global Health, Medline, Web of Science and BIOS Online, references from key articles, and the websites of relevant international agencies.
A systematic literature review was conducted of field and laboratory studies that reported the impact of climate factors (e.g., temperature, humidity) on the synanthropic fly Musca sorbens. Data were systematically extracted and studies assessed for quality by two readers. Study results were reported narratively.
A total of 16 studies met the inclusion criteria but only three evaluated associations between climatic/abiotic factors and M. sorbens. Limited evidence indicates that M. sorbens abundance has an optimal temperature and humidity range. Thirteen studies reported seasonal patterns but no consistent pattern was found between season and the abundance of M. sorbens.
The evidence base regarding the effect of climatic factors on M. sorbens is limited, so it is difficult to construct a biological model driven by climate for this species. A multivariate statistical approach based on the climate of sites where M. sorbens is found may better capture its complex relationship with climatic factors as well as aid in mapping the global range of M. sorbens.
评估气候可能影响沙眼疑似传播媒介——厩螫蝇数量的程度。
通过系统检索在线数据库来识别研究，这些数据库包括CAB文摘库、Embase、全球健康数据库、医学索引数据库、科学引文索引数据库和BIOS在线数据库、关键文章的参考文献以及相关国际机构的网站。
对报告气候因素（如温度、湿度）对共栖蝇类厩螫蝇影响的实地研究和实验室研究进行系统的文献综述。由两名读者系统地提取数据并评估研究质量。以叙述方式报告研究结果。
共有16项研究符合纳入标准，但只有3项评估了气候/非生物因素与厩螫蝇之间的关联。有限的证据表明，厩螫蝇数量有一个最佳温度和湿度范围。13项研究报告了季节模式，但未发现季节与厩螫蝇数量之间存在一致的模式。
关于气候因素对厩螫蝇影响的证据基础有限，因此难以构建一个由气候驱动的该物种生物学模型。基于发现厩螫蝇地点的气候采用多变量统计方法可能能更好地捕捉其与气候因素的复杂关系，并有助于绘制厩螫蝇的全球分布范围。
