ABSTRACT
The present work is an attempt to study the presence of various dermatophyte species on different species of flies which was collected from urban and suburban areas of Alexandria. Different species of flies such as M. domestica, Fannia canicularis Calliphora and Lucilia species were identified from the different samples examined. Mycological examination of flies revealed various species of dermatophytes such as T.mentagrophyts, T.verrucosum, M.canis and T. rubrum in addition to C. albicans detected from one sample of flies. The high number of dermatophyte species isolated is considered another reason for effectively combating flies, and introducing advanced garbage removal systems and correlation between different services to prevent transmission of serious diseases to man
