The etiological agents can multiply in the insect guts and be transmitted to poultry (in the same or different flocks); when chicken are slaughtered, contaminated meat reaches the consumer. Moreover, direct contact with larvae and adults can be detrimental, especially for people directly related to poultry farming. Schroeckenstein et al. (1988) demonstrated that A. diaperinus can cause severe allergic reactions, rhinitis and asthma in humans.
