Houseflies (Musca domestica) were infected with Campylobacter jejuni after being confined for 5 days in a Horsfall isolator containing 25-day-old chickens known to be fecal excretors of the organism. Contaminated flies, when subsequently transferred to a second unit, transmitted C. jejuni to specific-pathogen-free chickens. Allowing a sample of 32 houseflies to ingest C. jejuni in a liquid suspension resulted in recovery rates of 20% from the feet and ventral surface of the body and 70% from the viscera. These experiments demonstrated the potential role of flies in the dissemination of avian campylobacteriosis.
将家蝇（家蝇属）置于装有已知为该生物体粪便排泄者的25日龄鸡的霍斯福尔隔离器中5天后，使其感染空肠弯曲菌。受污染的苍蝇随后转移到第二个单元时，将空肠弯曲菌传播给了无特定病原体的鸡。让32只家蝇样本摄入液体悬浮液中的空肠弯曲菌，结果从足部和身体腹面的回收率为20%，从内脏的回收率为70%。这些实验证明了苍蝇在禽弯曲菌病传播中的潜在作用。
