AB  - A study was carried out to identify the intestinal nematode transmitted by <I>Cyclorrhaphan</I> files in a market environment. Three <I>cyclorrhaphan</I> species were identifies namely,<I> Musca domestica, Musca sorbens, Chrysomya megacephala</I>. Like wise, three nematode species eggs (<I>Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura</I> and <I>Ancyclostoma duodenale)</I> were isolated from the gut and surface of flies. <I>Ascaris lumbricoides</I> occurred more in and on all the flies <I>Chrysomya</I> <I>megacephala</I> recorded the highest prevalence of all the helminth eggs present. On gut content, <I>Chrysomya megacephala</I> recorded the highest number of the different helminth eggs isolated. Interestingly there was no correlation between the occurrence of the helminth eggs species and the three <I>cyclorrhaphan</I> flies identified.
