Identification, analysis, and linkage mapping of expressed sequence tags from the Australian sheep blowfly [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2011
Background The Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a destructive pest of the sheep, a model organism for insecticide resistance research, and a valuable tool for medical and forensic professionals.

Population structure, gene flow and genetic diversity of sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina dorsalis) in Australia [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Flystrike (cutaneous myiasis) is caused by blowfly larvae of the genus Lucilia. This disease is a major obstacle to sustainable global sheep and wool production.

Dicyclanil resistance in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, substantially reduces flystrike protection by dicyclanil and cyromazine based products [PDF]

International Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2020
Late in 2017, field samples of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, were submitted by sheep producers from three states of Australia (South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales).

Dosage Compensation of X-Linked Muller Element F Genes but Not X-Linked Transgenes in the Australian Sheep Blowfly. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In most animals that have X and Y sex chromosomes, chromosome-wide mechanisms are used to balance X-linked gene expression in males and females. In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, the dosage compensation mechanism also generally extends to X-linked ...

Resistance to dicyclanil and imidacloprid in the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, in Australia. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci, 2022
This paper describes P450‐mediated resistance to dicyclanil and imidacloprid in the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, with important implications for chemical rotation strategies to delay the spread of resistance in this parasite. Abstract Background The sheep blowfly, Lucila cuprina, is a myiasis‐causing parasite responsible for significant production ...

Mitochondrial genomic investigation reveals a clear association between species and genotypes of Lucilia and geographic origin in Australia [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Lucilia cuprina and L. sericata (family Calliphoridae) are globally significant ectoparasites of sheep. Current literature suggests that only one of these blowfly subspecies, L.

Control of sheep flystrike: what's been tried in the past and where to from here. [PDF]

Aust Vet J, 2022
Flystrike remains a serious financial and animal welfare issue for the sheep industry in Australia despite many years of research into control methods. The present paper provides an extensive review of past research on flystrike, and highlights areas that hold promise for providing long‐term control options.

Stress and asymmetry during arrested development of the Australian sheep blowfly. [PDF]

Proc Biol Sci, 1997
The dieldrin and diazinon resistance systems of the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) have been used previously to relate stress, departures from bilateral symmetry, developmental stability and relative fitness. These systems are now used to consider stress and asymmetry in a developmental context.

A Thermostable Bacterial Metallohydrolase that Degrades Organophosphate Plasticizers. [PDF]

Chembiochem
This bacterial enzyme, cyclase‐phosphotriesterase (C‐PTE) from Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS‐3, shows significant potential for breaking down organophosphate pollutants. Beyond its capability to hydrolyze specific plasticizers such as triphenyl phosphate and tris(2‐chloropropyl) phosphate, C‐PTE's crystal structure reveals a binuclear zinc active site, and it ...

Genetic and behavioral analyses suggest that larval and adult stages of Lucilia cuprina employ different sensory systems to detect rotten beef [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background The blowfly Lucilia cuprina is a destructive parasite of sheep that causes flystrike or myiasis. Larvae consume the animal’s living flesh, producing large wounds that can lead to death. The main aim of this study was to identify genes that may
