Wolfart's fly

The Wohlfart fly (Wohlfahrtia magnifica Schiner) is one of the most dangerous insects in the world. It is found in tropical and subtropical regions around the world and transmits a variety of diseases, including malaria, yellow fever, filariasis, West Nile fever and others.

Wohlfarth's fly gets its name from the German physician Johann Wolf Hart, who was the first to describe it in 1758. The fly is about 3-4 mm in size and is black with yellow stripes on the abdomen. It has the ability to fly long distances and move quickly in search of food.

One of the main factors contributing to the spread of the Wohlfarth fly is its ability to transmit various diseases of humans and animals. A fly can infect its prey when it bites or drinks blood. Then, when the fly lays its eggs, the larvae develop inside the victim's body and can infect other people or animals.

Various methods are used to control Wohlfarth flies, including the use of insecticides, trapping, and environmental control. However, despite all efforts, the Wohlfarth fly continues to be a serious threat to human and animal health throughout the world.
