Unlike other insects such as mosquitoes, house flies are not biting insects and are indirect rather than direct vectors of diseases. It has also been proven that house flies can transmit food-borne pathogens and their associated toxin and resistance.

Yes, domestic flies also act as a disease carrier.
Explanation:
Researchers suspect that house flies can harbor at least 65 illnesses that infect people. Some of the most common house fly diseases transmitted in the U.S. include food poisoning, dysentery, and diarrhea. These pests may also transmit the eggs of parasitic worms, which cause their own issues.
