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

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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

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

Human land‐use changes the diets of sympatric native and invasive mammal species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023 We simultaneously study the diet of nine native and two invasive mammal species inhabiting three different anthropogenic land‐uses across six bioclimatic regions using environmental DNA and stable isotope analysis. We show that land‐use influences the trophic relationships in invaded communities.

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 101, Issue 9, Page 321-333, September 2023., 2023 The Australian ruminant livestock industries are faced with the need to control parasitic infectious diseases that can seriously impact the health of animals. However, increasing levels of resistance to insecticides, anthelmintics and acaricides are substantially reducing the ability to control some of these parasites.
