Abstract

<p>The habitat of the moth fly, Clogmia albipunctata was investigated from January 2016 through March 2017 in nonhuman primate rooms for macaque monkeys in the Center for Experimental Animals in the National Institutes of Natural Sciences. The results have definitely shown that macaque rooms were the most important breeding places for the moth flies because they adhere to monkey hairs on drain pipes and in ditches. Based on our studies, toilet traps, sewage pipes, and ditches of breeding cages were considered to be the sources of the moth fly. We also observed that the number of the moth flies was associated with outside air temperature and the design of sewage pipes. Integrated pest management effectively reduced the number of moth flies in the experimental animal facility.</p>
