Blowfly strike in sheep

Veterinary Record, 2019
> Flock owners should be made aware that sheep blowfly strike can still occur despite the absence of rainfall Flock owners should be made aware that sheep blowfly strike (ovine cutaneous myiasis) can still occur despite the absence of rainfall. Blowfly eggs are deposited on the sheep’s fleece and optimal fleece temperatures and humidity are vital for

Acetylcholine in Blowflies

Nature, 1953
A STUDY of two species of blowfly, Calliphora erythrocephala and Lucilia sericata, has shown that a rapid synthesis of an acetylcholine-like substance can take place in extracts prepared from these insects. This synthesis, which occurs in the absence of additional substrate, may account for some of the high concentrations of acetylcholine which have ...

Hunger in the Blowfly*

Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie, 2010
Zusammenfassung Wenn Futter die Geschmacksorgane an den Tastern einer Fliege beruhrt, streckt sie ihren Russel aus; dadurch kommen die geschmacksempfindlichen Haare des Russels in Kontakt mit der Nahrung. Auf diesen Reiz hin offnen sich die Labellen und geben die Chemoreceptoren der Mundoffnung frei.

Hyperphagia in the Blowfly*

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1967
ABSTRACT The current view of the control feeding in the blowfly Phormia regina Meigen holds that ingestion is initiated by stimulation of oral taste receptors and ultimately terminated by signals from the foregut (Dethier & Bodenstein, 1958).

Sclerotization in the Blowfly Imago

Science, 1964
N -acetyldopamine has been identified as a dihydroxyphenylalanine metabolite in the blowfly imago during eclosion. The activity of the dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase, the main enzyme responsible for its formation, which is minimal during the pupal stage, increases 1 day before eclosion.

The composition of the empty puparia of a blowfly

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1970
Abstract The exuviae after emergence of adult Lucilia cuprina were analysed chemically. The rigid, sclerotized puparia were separated from the thin inner membranes made up of pupal and other cuticular structures. Both systems contained lipids, chitin, protein, and metallic and other elements.

Spectral sensitivity of the landing blowfly

Journal of Comparative Physiology ? A, 1983
Whether or not colour discrimination is involved in the process of eliciting the landing response of the fly was investigated with rotating linear spiral patterns of different spectral composition. With monochromatic patterns execution of the response depends on the contrast in the pattern: no response occurs within a restricted range of intensity ...

Nicholson's blowflies revisited

Nature, 1980
A simple time-delay model of laboratory insect populations which postulates a ‘humped’ relationship between future adult recruitment and current adult population gives good quantitative agreement with Nicholson's classic blowfly data and explains the appearance of narrow ‘discrete’ generations in cycling populations.

Chemoreceptors of blowflies

Journal of Morphology, 1934
AbstractThis paper deals with the morphology of all the so‐called gustatory and olfactory organs of blowflies, and describes tests conducted to determine whether these insects taste with their tarsi and smell with their antennae and palpi. Antennae bear two types of so‐called olfactory hairs, while palpi bear only one.

Contact Chemoreceptors of Blowfly Tarsi

Nature, 1954
THE contact chemoreceptors of blowfly tarsi have been the subject of much experimental work since the existence of a tarsal taste sense in the Calliphoridae was discovered by Minnich1; the literature has been reviewed elsewhere2,3. The receptors concerned have not been positively identified and no details of the structure of the receptor surface have ...
