It has been demonstrated that Musca domestica L. could harbour the Newcastle disease virus. It has been isolated from the surface of the flies body 96 hours after these had been in contact with it, and from their digestive tract--after 240 hours. It has also been found that virus excretion in infected flies continues for 96 hours. It is believed that Musca domestica L. flies can participate in the spreading of the ND virus.
