Muscina is a genus of flies that belongs to the family Muscidae, currently consisting of 27 species.[3] They are worldwide in distribution and are frequently found in livestock facilities and outside restrooms. The most common species are M. stabulans (the most widely studied species), M. levida, and M. prolapsa. Muscina flies commonly breed in manure and defecate on food, which has been linked to the spread of some disease and illnesses.[4][5] The occurrence of Muscina larvae on dead bodies has led to their regular use in forensic investigations, as they may be used to estimate the time of death.[6] Research have shown the prevalence of certain species of Muscina flies as vectors of diseases such as poliomyelitis.[7]
