An assessment of the antibacterial activity in larval excretion/secretion of four species of insects recorded in association with corpses, using Lucilia sericata Meigen as the marker species [PDF]
, 2010 The relative antibacterial activities of excretion/secretion (ES) from two carrion-feeding insects, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy and Dermestes maculatus DeGeer, and a detritivore, Tenebrio molitor Linnaeus, were compared to that of Lucilia ...

Spring Season Survey of the Urban Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) of Chicago, Illinois [PDF]
, 2017 During May 1980, 1165 blowflies of 12 species were trapped on chemically enhanced rat carrion baits in a dense urban setting in Chicago. In descending order, Cynomyopsis cadaverina, Lucilia sericata, and Phormia regina were the most abundant species ...

Long‐term variation in environmental conditions influences host–parasite fitness
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Long‐term data on host and parasite fitness are important for predicting how host–parasite interactions will be altered in an era of global change. Here, we use data collected from 1997 to 2013 to explore effects of changing environmental conditions on ...

The Role of Olfaction in Orientation of Blowflies to Hosts or Odorous Baited Traps
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Traumatic myiasis is a serious threat for worldwide sheep flocks. It is known that the blowflies’ abundance and occurrence of strikes could be diminished by traps use. The aim of this study was to ascertain the role of olfaction in blowflies’ orientation

New findings on exponential convergence of a Nicholson’s blowflies model with proportional delay
Advances in Difference Equations, 2019 We deal with Nicholson’s blowflies model with proportional delays. Employing the differential inequality theory, we give a new sufficient condition that guarantees the exponential convergence of all solutions of Nicholson’s blowflies model with ...

Time Spent by Calliphora Spp. Blowflies on Standard Traps Baited with Liver and Ammonia
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The larvae of blowflies from the Calliphoridae family cause fly strikes in sheep and other species of economic importance. Impaired wool, decrease of ewe fertility, and even death can occur in heavy infestations.
