Distribution of flies of medical importance in Thailand: a dataset

Non-mosquito Diptera of medical and veterinary importance, including both biting and non-biting species in the order <i>Diptera</i>, play a significant role in the transmission of disease pathogens, either as mechanical or biological vectors. In this review, a total of 3,492 records across seven families were identified, comprising 2,512 biting flies and 980 non-biting flies. Among the biting flies, the most frequently recorded family was <i>Simuliidae</i>, followed by <i>Calliphoridae</i>, <i>Muscidae</i>, <i>Psychodidae</i>, and <i>Tabanidae</i>. The majority of these records originated from northern Thailand and were previously published in various peer-reviewed journals.
