[Diptera in the mammalian section of the zoological gardens with reference to the medical aspects of infection].
Research in buildings and enclosures of zoological gardens where mammals are accomodated have yielded 159 species of Diptera belonging to 18 families. Among the Diptera species found were all those represented in farming stable buildings as well as species that may be vectors of zoo animal diseases. The Diptera are of potential hygienic significance, which is dealt with in detail. The number of species represented in an area and the density of species depend on the conditions of their development within the zoological gardens and on the quantity of Diptera coming from the surrounding area. The biotopes in which indigenous zoo Diptera develop are described in detail. The occurrence of the species and their density in the stable buildings of the mammals depend on the position and arrangement of the stables and enclosures, on the hygienic conditions and also on the food. The density of Diptera and the possible health risks for the zoo animals can be reduced by creating hygienic conditions and by observing the control measures mentioned in the paper.
