Abstract
The 26 December 2004 tsunami heavily damaged many areas of Sri Lanka. Many people were forced to live in temporary housing area until February 2006, but unsanitary conditions (scattered garbage, water, etc.) related to the multiplication of Musca domestica nebulo Fabricius, 1784 in the city by seawater incursion of the tsunami had already improved. Investigations of these flies were carried out in both a temporary housing area and an unaffected village after about one year from a tsunami. Results showed that M. domestica nebulo in kitchens of temporary housing areas were more numerous than those in village areas, although no significant difference existed in a vacant lot between the areas. Attraction of M. domestica nebulo to kitchens of temporary housing areas might result from large amounts of food and raw garbage relative to those of villages. Under these circumstances, the risk of outbreak of fly-borne diseases is likely to be aggravated in temporary housing areas. This indirect damage of the tsunami to human health persists in Sri Lanka even though about one year has passed since the tsunami.
