Drug accumulation and elimination in Calliphora vicina larvae

Forensic Science International, 1995
Calliphora vicina larvae were fed on drug-laden muscle from three suicides involving amitriptyline, temazepam and a combination of trazodone and trimipramine; triplicate daily harvestings were analysed. The limit of detection for all four drugs was 0.01 micrograms drug/g larvae.

The photoperiodic clock in the blowfly Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1990
Abstract The blowfly, Calliphora vicina Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae), displays a maternally induced larval diapause. The critical nightlength for adult flies at 23.5°C and larvae derived from eggs deposited on days 10–14 and maintained in darkness at 11°C, is about 10 h 45 min and thus about 1 h longer than at 20°C. Bistability and Nanda-Hamner

The effect of postmortem penetrative trauma on oviposition behavior of Calliphora vicina

Forensic Science International, 2023
Flies in the family Calliphoridae are purported to demonstrate a strong attraction to and preferential colonization of wounds when present on human corpses or carrion. This well-circulated concept in Forensic Entomology is based on surprisingly few empirical studies that have examined the oviposition behavior of necrophagous Diptera toward wounds of ...

Facultative myiasis of domestic cats by Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in northern Italy

Parasitology Research, 2017
We describe five cases of myiasis of domestic cats, Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), reported in 2016 in northern Italy and caused by three Diptera species: Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy) (Sarcophagidae), Calliphora vicina ...

Maternal induction of larval diapause in the blowefly, Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1972
Abstract Diapause induction in the larvae of Calliphora vicina is under maternal control and is determined by a maternally operated photoperiod. This blowfly is a long-day insect and its critical daylength lies between 15 and 16 hr of light per day.

Influence of food substrates on the development of the blowflies Calliphora vicina and Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera, Calliphoridae)

Parasitology Research, 2013
The blowflies Calliphora vicina and Calliphora vomitoria are among the first colonizers of human remains in Europe. Laboratory development studies with immature stages of these blowflies for postmortem interval (PMI) calculations are generally performed on different media such as processed food substrates or liver of various animals.

Phenoloxidases in larval cuticle of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina

Insect Biochemistry, 1981
Three different phenoloxidases have been purified from the cuticle of mature larvae of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina. Enzyme A is a typical tyrosinase (EC 1.10.3.1., o-diphenol: O2 oxidoreductase). It oxidizes both monophenols and o-diphenols, is inactive towards p-diphenols, and is readily inhibited by thiourea and phenylthiourea. Enzymes B and C are

Life Tables for Musca vicina and Calliphora erythrocephala.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1946
SUMMARY.Life tables for the imago of Musca vicina and Calliphora erythrocephala were compiled from flies kept under controlled conditions. Musca were fed on diluted milk and Calliphora on 10% sugar solution and chicken liver.In Musca females are slightly longer lived than males and the contrary is true for Calliphora.The survivorship curves, and more ...

The pattern of reactivation of diapausing larvae in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1974
Abstract In Calliphora vicina from Belomorsk (North Karelia) the pattern of reactivation of diapausing larvae at different temperatures (4, 12·5, 15·5, 20, and 25°C) was studied experimentally. Most favourable in this respect are the first and last temperatures. Photoperiodic reactivation was established.

On the Mechanism of Proboscis Extension in the Blowfly Calliphora Vicina

Netherlands Journal of Zoology, 1976
Proboscis extension, resulting from adequate taste stimulation of tarsal chemoreceptors was studied in the blowfly. It was found, by means of electromyography of the musculus retractor fulcri, that contraction of this muscle causes the rostrum to be rotated out of the head-capsule. The muscle is a protractor muscle.
