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.

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

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 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.

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).

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.

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 ...

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.

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

Development and evaluation of male-only strains of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. [PDF]

BMC Genet, 2014
AbstractThe Australian sheep blowflyLucilia cuprina(Wiedemann) is a major pest of sheep in Australia and New Zealand. From the 1960s to the 1980s there was a major effort to develop "field female killing" or FFK strains ofL. cuprinathat could be used for a cost-effective genetic control program.

Antennal transcriptome analysis reveals sensory receptors potentially associated with host detection in the livestock pest Lucilia cuprina [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is the main causative agent of flystrike of sheep in Australia and New Zealand.

Major SCP/TAPS protein expansion in Lucilia cuprina is associated with novel tandem array organisation and domain architecture [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Larvae of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, parasitise sheep by feeding on skin excretions, dermal tissue and blood, causing severe damage known as flystrike or myiasis. Recent advances in -omic technologies and bioinformatic data
