Biological studies of the Housefly

Majority of insects are useful to mankind which are beneficial in terms of production of edible proteins and byproducts of small scale industries like apiculture and sericulture. Houseflies are known to carry various pathogens and act as vectors for transmission of diseases. However, cellular immunity of the insects is mostly confined to haemocytes, because they are capable of ingesting all types of microbes like viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoan. This facilitates the insects to counteract the pathogenic impact of infectious microorganisms. It is well known that larval extract of housefly are capable of healing the wounds. This book provides a comprehensive review of literature and biological activities like antibacterial, anti-tumor, biochemical, proteomic, and lipidomic study seasonally. This book provides various types of biological data which may be useful for all trainers, academicians, researchers who are working in medicinal veterinary practice. This book aims high incontributing more in near future to the field of bacterial isolation, proteomics and lipidomics and its technology which will be useful to the society.
