ABSTRACT
Synanthropic fies, particularly Musca domestica, are critical mechanical vectors for enteric pathogens and key indicators of environmental sanitation. This study evaluated fly density dynamics across domestic, commercial, and agricultural zones in the Kota Tinggi and Segamat districts of Johor Malaysia, to identify public health risk hotspots and guide vector control Fly densities were monitored using standardised fly index traps deployed across domestic, commercial, and agricultural zones, capturing data from multiple poultry farms across the two districts alongside neighbouring commercial and residential areas. Population scores were interpreted against established intervention thresholds: 0-2 (none), 2-5 (discretionary), 6-20 (periodic control, and >20 Gimmediate emergency control). Spatial analysis revealed significant variation in fly abundance, with agricultural zones consistently contributing the highest densities. The monitored poultry farms across both districts repeatedlywiggered emergency intervention thresholds (>20). Furthermore, adjacent commercial premises and residential areas were abo heavily implicated, facing severe fly nuisances driven by localised vector spillover from these agricultural sources into human activity zone. Multiple poultry farms across the two districts act as primary drivers of fly proliferation and represent a significant environmental health threat to surrounding communities. Utilizing standardised density thresholds provides an objective framework for risk prioritisation. Mitigating these public health risks requires strengthening integrated pest management (PM), upgrading farm sanitation, and establishing routine entomological surveillance.
