"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Dairy farm flies,particularly Neomyia cornicina,can acquire and spread zoonotic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) from cow manure.They feed and reproduce in manure, ingesting and potentially amplifying these pathogens."

{
"@type": "Question",
"name": "What zoonotic pathogens have been found in dairy farm flies?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Studies have identified several zoonotic pathogens in dairy farm flies, including E. coli, Salmonella enterica, and Coxiella burnetii. These pathogens often carry antibiotic resistance genes, increasing health risks."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "Why is it crucial to study antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) in dairy farm flies?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) found in dairy farm flies can contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance, making infections more difficult to treat in both animals and humans. Understanding the transmission routes of ARGs is crucial for mitigating this risk."

"@type": "Question",
"name": "What control measures can be implemented to reduce the risk of pathogen transmission by dairy farm flies?",
"acceptedAnswer": {
"@type": "Answer",
"text": "Integrated pest management and improved hygiene practices in agricultural environments can definitely help minimize the risk of pathogen transmission by dairy farm flies.This includes proper manure management, fly control measures, and maintaining sanitary conditions."
