House Fly (Musca domestica L.) (Diptera Muscidae) Development in Different Types of Manure

Animal production units with different management systems can be found along the Huasco Valley, Region of Atacama, Chile. These constitute sources of house flies (Musca domestica L.) and other vector fly species that cause damage to animals and nuisance problems in urban areas. In order to asses the...
