Genotype, environment and the asymmetry phenotype. Dieldrin-resistance in Lucilia cuprina (the Australian sheep blowfly) [PDF]
Heredity, 1995 Dieldrin-resistant (Rdl/Rdl and Rdl/+) and susceptible (+/+) phenotypes of Lucilia cuprina were scored for departures from bilateral symmetry for bristle characters after development at different temperatures, larval densities or concentrations of dieldrin.

Dieldrin resistance in Lucilia cuprina (the Australian sheep blowfly): chance, selection and response [PDF]
Heredity, 2000 Discrete-generation population cages of Lucilia cuprina were initiated with dieldrin-resistant allele (Rdl ) frequencies of 1 or 5% and maintained for 17 generations on media with concentrations of dieldrin in the range 0-0.006% (w/v). The probability of the initial establishment of the Rdl allele in a population was consistently greater at the 5 ...

Field Studies on Insecticide Resistance in the Australian Sheep Blowfly, Lucilia Cuprina [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1980 Eggs and larvae of L. cuprina were coIJected from natural fly strikes in a flock of Merino ewes in which sheep had been either treated with the insecticide dieldrin or left as controls. An analysis of gene and genotype frequencies of Rdl locus, which determines resistance to dieldrin, provides support for the existence of strong selection operating ...

Occurrence of a population of the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, with low sensitivity to two major nematicides, fosthiazate and fluopyram, in Japan. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThis study indicated that significantly differences of sensitivity to fosthiazate and fluopyram between two Meloidogyne incognita populations, are due to different histories of nematicide use and a related factor is detoxifying enzymes. Abstract BACKGROUND The root‐knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita, affects food production globally and ...

The use of cell and larval assays to identify target genes for RNA interference‐meditated control of the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) [PDF]
Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 4686-4698, September 2024.Two research models for Lucilia cuprina targets screening were established. The results contribute to the development of sustainable RNAi mediated bio‐control strategies for this agricultural pest. Abstract BACKGROUND Flystrike, primarily caused by Lucilia cuprina, is a major health and welfare issue for sheep wool industries.

Larvicidal Activity of Inhibitors of DOPA Decarboxylase on the Australian Sheep Blowfly, Lucilia Cuprina [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1980 Inhibitors of DOPA decarboxylase, the key enzyme in the formation of the sclerotizing agent (N-acetyl dopamine) of the blowfly cuticle, have been tested for larvicidal activity against L. cuprina. A significant level of DOPA decarboxylase activity has been shown to be present throughout larval life in this species. Four potent in vitro inhibitors of L.

MCE activities and malathion resistances in field populations of the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) [PDF]
Heredity, 2000 Malathion resistance has been shown to be the result of a single point mutation in the LcalphaE7 gene in four independently isolated chromosomes of Lucilia cuprina. The resultant amino acid substitution specifies high malathion carboxylesterase (MCE) activity.

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.
