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.

Cuticular lipids of adults and puparia of the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Wied.)

Journal of Lipid Research, 1970
The presence of a strong contact component in the sex and ovipositing behavior of the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina Wied. prompted an investigation into the chemical composition of the cuticular wax of the adult male and female flies as well as that of ...

Diazinon resistance, fluctuating asymmetry and fitness in the Australian sheep blowfly, lucilia cuprina. [PDF]

Genetics, 1988
Abstract Genetic evidence suggests that the evolution of resistance to the insecticide diazinon in Lucilia cuprina initially produced an increase in asymmetry. At that time resistant flies were presumed to be at a selective disadvantage in the absence of diazinon.

Squamate scavenging services: Heath goannas (Varanus rosenbergi) support carcass removal and may suppress agriculturally damaging blowflies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Vertebrate scavenging in Australia significantly contributes to carcass removal and suppresses the breeding of agriculturally harmful blowflies. Levels of carcass removal are higher in areas associated with higher densities of native reptiles and lower densities of invasive mammals. Therefore, augmentation of reptile populations and control of invasive

Male crossing over and genetic sexing systems in the Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina [PDF]

Heredity, 1991
Field-female killing (FK) systems based on deleterious mutations and Y-autosome translocations are being evaluated for genetic control of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. Experience during field trials has shown that mass-reared colonies of FK strains are subject to genetic deterioration, caused mainly by genetic recombination in males. A

The interaction between the Dbf4 ortholog Chiffon and Gcn5 is conserved in Dipteran insect species. [PDF]

Insect Mol Biol, 2022
The Dbf4 ortholog Chiffon has an extended C‐terminal domain in all insects, but its sequence has diverged in different orders. The C‐terminal domain of Chiffon (Chiffon‐B) interacts with Gcn5 by yeast two‐hybrid in Drosophila and other Diptera, but this interaction was not detected in other insects.

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.

DIFFERENCE EQUATION FOR AUSTRALIAN SHEEP BLOWFLIES GROWTH

BAREKENG: Jurnal Ilmu Matematika dan Terapan
The population of Australian sheep blowflies, Lucilia cuprina, in Australia is of concern to many researchers because it causes several problems. These problems occur in the sheep industry where there is a term "flystrike" in the industry. Flystrike is a fly attack on sheep that causes myiasis on the sheep's skin, affecting the quality and quantity of ...

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

Population structure and interspecific hybridisation of two invasive blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) following replicated incursions into New Zealand. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Rates of biological invasion are increasing globally, with associated negative effects on native biodiversity and ecosystem services. Yet the role of hybridisation (and resulting gene flow) in biological invasion in invertebrate species is under‐studied. We analysed genome‐wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data for two blowfly species collected
