... Dispersal of C. albipunctata likely happens mostly through trade and other long-range transport, particularly of garbage and smaller water-filled containers such as tires. Oboňa and Ježek (2012b) collected large numbers of the species from a bus terminal building and suggested that transport was a major factor in C. albipunctata's spread in Europe, citing as evidence that a single fertilized female can lay from 200 to 300 eggs. This, combined with the species' robust and sturdy habits in the larval stage and the short life cycle of about a month (Vaillant 1971), suggests that even chance transport events can lead to C. albipunctata's rapid colonization of new habitat. ...

The paper provides brief information about the ability of the Asian bush mosquito (Aedes japonicus (Theobald, 1901), Diptera: Culicidae) and the drain fly (Clogmia albipunctata (Williston, 1893), Diptera: Psychodidae) larval stages to survive under laboratory conditions at a temperature of 4°C. According to our observations, Asian bush mosquito larvae were able to survive these conditions for up to 5 months. The observed results confirm that this invasive species is able to overwinter in the natural environment even via the larval stages; however, overwintering mostly in the eggs stage has been predominantly observed. Drain fly larvae were able to survive in these conditions for only 48 hours. Therefore, we believe that this invasive species is not able to overwinter in the natural environment and prefers protected synanthropic habitats.

Among invertebrates, Diptera, an aquatic insect, has the largest group of species. Aquatic Diptera larvae live in a highly distinctive environment in contact with vertebrates, humans, contaminated water, and depositing eggs in the host organism due to their life cycle. This study aims to describe various aspects of Clogmia albipunctata one of myiasis insects causing a disease that affects both living and dead vertebrates as well as humans and whose symptoms are often overlooked. Furthermore, the study is remarkable since it is the first report of C. albipunctata (Psychodidae) in an indoor drainage system, except for humans, vertebrates, and natural ecosystems. SEM images gave a detailed description of the larvae and confirmed the species identification. When their life cycles were investigated, it was determined that in addition to myiasis, C. albipunctata larvae (drain fly or moth fly) played a vital role in the movement of bacteria from drains to indoor places, such as toilets, bathrooms, showers, and kitchens. Multi-drug resistant bacteria populate C. albipunctata, which possesses synanthropic behavior, and may play a major role in its transmission. This study focused on accidental myiasis.

A klímaváltozás a környezetben okozott jelentős változásokon keresztül az emberi egészségre is hatást gyakorol. Ezek a hatások lehetnek közvetlenek, mint például a rendkívüli időjárási események, vagy közvetettek, mint az ökológiai és biofizikai környezetben bekövetkezett változások, amelyek befolyásolják a terméshozamokat, így az élelmiszertermelést, az élelmiszerek és a vektorok által közvetített betegségek átviteli esélyének növekedését, az áradások gyakoriságát és ehhez kapcsolódóan a vízminőség (bakteriális fertőzések, kémiai szennyezések) változását. Ezeket a kockázatokat csak az „Egy Egészség” megközelítés alkalmazásával, a különböző szektorok, érintettek és szakterületek szoros együttműködése keretében lehet eredményesen kezelni.

The occurence of Clogmia albipunctata (Diptera: Psychodidae: Psychodinae) has been confirmed in the territory of the Czech Republic since 2011. Although it is a non-hematophagous species of tropical origin, it presents a human health risk associated mainly with the mechanical transmission of various pathogens. In addition, C. albipunctata is one of the insects that cause accidental myiasis. The aim of this summary is to provide a comprehensive view of Clogmia albipunctata and accidental myiasis related health issues. Two case reports are presented: one of drain fly larvae as a putative parasite and the other of the first passive transfer of drain fly larvae to the human body in the Czech Republic.
... Zajímavostí je potvrzený výskyt koutule C. albipunctata v jediné známé přírodní lokalitě (neantropogenní prostředí) mírného podnebného pásma Evropy z okolí Prievidze na západním Slovensku, kde se koutule C. albipunctata objevila v dutině stromu naplněné vodou. Koutule zde zimu sice nepřečkaly, ale dutinu stromu v několika po sobě následujících letech opětovně kolonizovaly z nedalekého města (6). Výskyt C. albipunctata na území České republiky byl poprvé potvrzen v Brně a v Praze roku 2011. ...
... It is an expanding, originally tropical and subtropical species. In Europe, it represents a new synanthropic species, known only for a few years in Slovakia (Ježek et al. 2012;Oboňa & Ježek 2012a;Oboňa et al. 2016). It appears, that C. albipunctata are gradually trying to colonize also non-anthropogenic habitats (Oboňa & Ježek 2012b;Kvifte et al. 2013). ...
This paper has the ambition to bring information about importance and significance of specific small water bodies – called anthrotelmata in Slovakia. These artificial habitats often arise from illegally disposed waste. These overlooked small, but important ecosystems, are occupied by remarkable and often epidemiologically significant insect species in favourable conditions. In the present study, three fly taxa - mosquito (Culex pipiens), midge (Chironomus sp.) and non-biting moth flies (Clogmia albipunctata) were found. The importance of selected taxa found in illegally dumped fridge as well as
the need for research of anthrotelmata are highlighted.
... Correct species identification of the moth fly is highly important for pest control practices (13). According to external morphological characters, traditional morphological identification of the Psychodinae species is difficult (14). ...
... The mean genetic distances between the group A and group B were designated as 5.6±1.0%. (14). Similarly, in this study, adult moth flies were collected from the walls of toilets, bathrooms, and basements of buildings in Kayseri, Turkey. ...
... The traditional morphological identification of fly species used the morphological features between species. Most authors suggested that the morphological characters of drain flies are most closely related to other insect species (6,14). However, the identification of adult psychodid species by using morphological characters is difficult and can be misidentified (33). ...
Objective:
The aim of this study is to examine the molecular characterization of moth flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) based on their mitochondrial DNA sequences and determine the vectorial potential and damage caused by moth flies in future researches.
Methods:
A total of 240 adult moth flies were collected from toilet, bathroom, and basement walls of houses from different locations of the Kayseri region between May 2016 and April 2017. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses were performed using primer pairs, specificaly targeting the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase c subunit I (mt-COI) gene of adult flies.
Results:
In total, five isolates were gel purified and sequenced for molecular characterization and phylogenetic analyses. Two species, namely Telmatoscopus albipunctatus (ERU-Telmatos3 and ERU-Telmatos6) and Psychodidae sp. (ERU-Psycho1,4,5), were successfully identified with the sequence alignment of isolates. According to the phylogenetic analysis, it was determined that the ERU-Telmatos3 and ERU-Telmatos6 isolates are clustered in the haplogroup A, while the ERU-Psycho1,4,5 isolate was clustered within the haplogroup B. The ERU-Psycho1 isolate was characterized as a new haplotype within the haplogroup B.
Conclusion:
This study represents the first molecular characterization and phylogenetic status of moth flies in Turkey. The obtained findings should be the first step in the future investigation based on detecting the transmission of bacterial pathogens by moth flies.
