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.

The cell cycle time of the haemocytes in the insect Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1979
The cell cycle time of Calliphora vicina prohaemocytes was examined using the labelled mitoses method after the administration of a pulse of H3-thymidine. The total cycle time occupied 9.1 hr, while G1 + 12M, S and G2 + 12M occupied 1.6 hr, 2.7 hr and 4.8 hr respectively.

Barbiturates and Analgesics in Calliphora vicina Larvae

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1997
Abstract Calliphora vicina larvae were reared on artificial foodstuffs spiked with a range of concentrations of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), sodium salicylate, paracetamol, sodium aminohippurate, amphetamine sulfate, and the barbiturates thiopentone, phenobarbitone, amylobarbitone, barbitone, and brallobarbitone. Larvae were harvested

[Functional morphology of blowfly Calliphora vicina hemocytes].

Tsitologiia, 2013
In the hemolymph of Calliphora seven types of hemocytes were revealed. These are prohemocytes, which are the stem cells, stable and unstable hyaline cells, thrombocytoids, spindle cells, juvenile plasmatocytes and plasmatocytes I-IV, which represent sequential stages of one cell line differentiation were registered.

Purification of Prophenoloxidase in the Haemolymph ofCalliphora vicina(R. & D.)

Archives Internationales de Physiologie et de Biochimie, 1979
An improved method for the purification of prophenoloxidase is described. The proenzyme was purified 400 fold in homogenous form. The purity was tested by disc-electrophoresis and the molecular weight was found to be 87 000 in comparison to the mobility of marker enzymes, which were run simultaneously in SDS-gel electrophoresis.
