Blowfly-derived mammal DNA as mammal diversity assessment tool: Determination of dispersal activity and flight range of tropical blowflies [PDF]
Mammalian DNA extracted from the invertebrates, especially blowfly-derived DNA, has been suggested as a useful tool to complement traditional field methods for terrestrial mammal monitoring.

Infestation of humans and non-human primates with Cordylobia rodhaini (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in a ‘hotspot’ of furuncular myiasis [PDF]
Lund’s fly, Cordylobia rodhaini (Calliphoridae), is an African blowfly considered to be an uncommon cause of furuncular myiasis. Far less is known about C. rodhaini than about the more frequently reported tumbu fly, Cordylobia anthropophaga. From 2011 to

Spatio-Temporal Influence on the Distribution of Forensically Relevant Blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea [PDF]
The study of blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) biodiversity and distribution is crucial for forensic investigations. Abiotic and biotic factors, such as season and habitat type, have a significant impact on blowfly populations.

Pollination of Enclosed Avocado Trees by Blow Flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and a Hover Fly (Diptera: Syrphidae) [PDF]
Despite flies regularly visiting flowers, limited research has gone into their pollination ability on commercial crops. A national project in Australia aimed to identify fly species as potential managed pollinators for the horticultural industry and, in ...

Study of proteolytic bacteria isolated from the blowfly (Chrysomya megacephala)
Blowfly (Chrysomya megacephala) is an insect that has an important ecological role, one of which is as a decomposer. Blowfly is often found around food and garbage, especially those protein-rich.

Monophyletic blowflies revealed by phylogenomics
Background Blowflies are ubiquitous insects, often shiny and metallic, and the larvae of many species provide important ecosystem services (e.g., recycling carrion) and are used in forensics and debridement therapy.
