The complete mitochondrial genome of the bazaar fly, Musca sorbens Wiedemann (Diptera: Muscidae).

ABSTRACT: The bazaar fly, Musca sorbens (Diptera: Muscidae) Wiedemann, 1830 is a world-wide species with sanitary, medical, and veterinary importance. The complete mitochondrial genome of M. sorbens is sequenced to better understand the mitogenomic characteristics and phylogeny of this species. The circular mitogenome is 16,120 bp in length, contains 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 tRNA genes (tRNAs), two rRNA genes, and an AT-rich control region. The mitogenome comprises an A + T content of 77.4%. All PCGs start with "ATN" codons except for COI which starts with TCG, and terminate with the common stop codons TNN. A phylogenetic tree, including six Muscidae species, is reconstructed based on the whole mitogenome sequences. The interspecific distances of mitogenomes between the six Muscidae species range from 0.059 to 0.168.

Project description:BackgroundThe eye-seeking fly Musca sorbens can act as a vector for ocular Chlamydia trachomatis, causing trachoma, yet there has been very little research on control measures. We investigated whether insect repellent products, specifically insecticide-treated clothing, could provide personal protection to the user from eye-seeking flies.MethodsWe first conducted a series of phase I laboratory studies to inform our choice of field intervention. We then conducted a phase II randomised controlled trial testing the efficacy of permethrin-treated scarves (PTS) in reducing fly-face contact in Oromia, Ethiopia. Children aged 4-10 years in full health and with no known adverse reactions to permethrin or other insecticides were allocated to either arm using restricted randomisation. Intervention arm children wore Insect Shield® versatile wraps (as PTS) for 28 days. The primary outcomes, fly-eye, -nose and -mouth contact, were assessed on the first day (0/30/60/180 minutes), on day 7 and on day 28. All participants present per timepoint were included in analyses. This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03813069).FindingsParticipants were recruited to the field trial between 29/10/2019 and 01/11/2019, 58 were randomised to test or control arm. More fly (-eye, -nose and -mouth) contacts were observed in the PTS arm at baseline. After adjusting for baseline contact rates, across all timepoints there was a 35% decrease in fly-eye contacts in the PTS relative to control arm (rate ratio [RR] 0.65, 95% CI 0.52-0.83). Similar cross-timepoint reductions were seen for fly-nose and fly-mouth contacts (RR 0.69, 95% CI 0.51-0.92 and RR 0.79, 95% CI 0.62-1.01, respectively). All children were included on day 0. Two in the control arm were absent on day 7, one left the study and four were excluded from analysis at day 28. No adverse events occurred in the trial.InterpretationMusca sorbens flies are sufficiently repelled by PTS to reduce fly-eye contacts for the wearer, thus possibly reducing the risk of trachoma transmission. Permethrin-treated scarves may therefore an alternative to insecticide space spraying for protection from these flies.FundingWellcome Trust.
