摘要
Helicobacter pylori is the world's commonest infection, but the modes of transmission are largely unknown. Under laboratory conditions, houseflies can carry viable H. pylori on their external surfaces and in their alimentary tracts. More recently, H. pylori DNA has been demonstrated in wild flies in the USA and in Poland, by polymerase chain reaction. Flies can acquire H. pylori from the environment and could therefore function as a significant reservoir and vector in the transmission of H. pylori.
