Resistance to Dieldrin in Lucilia cuprina Wied., the Australian Sheep Blowfly

Nature, 1958
WHILE the modified Mules operation1 greatly assists in reducing the incidence of fly strike of sheep in Australia, chemicals also have an important role in sheep blowfly prevention and control. In agreement with other sheep-raising countries, dieldrin and aldrin have been widely used here for the past three years for the prevention of attack by sheep ...

In vitro larvicidal efficacy of flystrike dressings against the Australian sheep blowfly

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1999
The abilities of 14 registered flystrike products to prevent development of Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) larvae were measured by laboratory bioassay. Larvae were exposed to the products for periods ranging from 5 to 180 s. Most products were quite effective against susceptible-strain larvae but less effective in field strains due to ...

Nutrition and reproduction in the Australian Sheep Blowfly Lucilia cuprina.

Australian Journal of Zoology, 1958
Carbohydrate, protein, and salts are essential for the development of eggs by Lucilia cuprina (Wied.). In the presence of sucrose, each of the following is adequate for egg development: casein, milk, yeast, egg albumen, and gelatin plus L-tryptophan. However, egg development on these foods is slower than on liver.

Aminopeptidases as potential targets for the control of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

International Journal for Parasitology, 1999
A series of experiments were carried out to investigate the role of proteinase enzymes in the growth of larvae of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. First, instar larvae were incubated on an artificial growth media in the presence of various concentrations of inhibitors of all the major proteinase classes.

Effect of ivermectin residues in sheep dung on mating of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina

Veterinary Parasitology, 1993
Male and female Lucilia cuprina adults were separated after emergence and then fed either dung excreted from sheep after an oral treatment with ivermectin (Ivomec) or non-treated sheep dung. Fresh dung (non-treated or ivermectin-treated) was collected daily and fed to adults for 6 days after drenching.

Modification of developmental instability and fitness: malathionresistance in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

Genetica, 1993
The evolution of resistance to malathion byLucilia cuprina initially results in an increase in fluctuating asymmetry. Resistant flies are at a selective disadvantage, relative to susceptibles, in the absence of the insecticide. A fitness/asymmetry modifier of diazinon-resistant phenotypes ameliorates these effects resulting in malathion-resistant ...

Monitoring and selection of resistance to pyrethroids in the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 1989
ABSTRACT. Field and laboratory populations of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Calliphoridae), were surveyed by bioassay for possible resistance to the synthetic pyrethroids, a group of insecticides under development for blowfly control.

Suppression of populations of Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), with a novel blowfly trap

Australian Journal of Entomology, 2009
AbstractThe Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, initiates more than 85% of fly strikes on sheep in Australia with an estimated average annual cost of A$280 million to the Australian sheep industry. LuciTrap® is a commercially available, selective trap for L.

Xanthommatin biosynthesis in wild-type and mutant strains of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina

Biochemical Genetics, 1978
The synthesis of eye pigments has been studied in the seven eye color mutants of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. Six appears to be affected primarily in the synthesis of xanthommatin. In wild type, the onset of xanthommatin biosynthesis occurs midway through metamorphosis.
