The population dynamics of five synanthropic fly species, Chrysomyia rufifacies, Musca d. domestica Muscina stabulans F. Sarcophaga haemorrhoidalis, and Stomoxys calcitrans, were studied at three different habitats in Buraydah, Saudi Arabia. The chosen habitats were the slaughter house, the cattle market and the rubbish dumps. The number of flies caught per twenty sticky bands was taken monthly, for a whole year, as an index to the fly population at that habitat during that month. M. d. domestica was the most abundant fly species; it made up nearly 98%, 81% and 75% of the total synanthropic fly population at the rubbish dumps, the cattle market and the slaughter house, respectively. It reached its maximum abundance in May and minimum occurrence in January. House flies were collected throughout the year and survived conditions seemed to be unsuitable for other species.
在沙特阿拉伯布赖代的三个不同栖息地，对五种嗜人蝇类，即红头丽蝇、家蝇、厩腐蝇、痔血食蚜蝇和厩螫蝇的种群动态进行了研究。所选的栖息地是屠宰场、牲畜市场和垃圾场。全年每月记录每20个粘蝇带捕获的苍蝇数量，以此作为该月该栖息地苍蝇种群数量的指标。家蝇是数量最多的蝇种；在垃圾场、牲畜市场和屠宰场，它分别占嗜人蝇总种群数量的近98%、81%和75%。其数量在5月达到最大值，1月出现最小值。全年都能采集到家蝇，其他蝇种的生存条件似乎不合适。
