The use of mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene (COI) to differentiate two UK blowfly species – Calliphora vicina and Calliphora vomitoria

open access: yesForensic Science International, 2006
Traditionally identification of forensically important insects has been carried out based upon morphological differences between species. However insect evidence found at a crime scene may on occasion be difficult to distinguish by morphological techniques and under these circumstances another method of accurate identification is required.

The distribution of pancreatic polypeptide in the nervous system and gut of the blowfly, Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera)

Cell and Tissue Research, 1982
The distribution of a neuropeptide, previously shown to have the same or a very similar amino acid composition as vertebrae pancreatic polypeptide (PP), has been studied in the nervous system gut of the blowfly, Calliphora vomitoria. Neurones immunoreactive to a bovine PP antiserum occur in the thoracic and abdominal ganglionic components of the ...

Induction of ACTH- and TNF-α-like molecules in the hemocytes of Calliphora vomitoria (Insecta, Diptera)

open access: yesTissue and Cell, 1996
Three basic cell types are described in the hemolymph of newly enclosed adult Calliphora vomitoria: prohemocytes, plasmatocytes, and granular cells. In addition, anucleate cellular fragments with some inclusions are observed. Cell division is found only in the prohemocytes. Plasmatocytes and granular cells are capable of in vitro bacterial phagocytosis

Biological characteristics of the Calliphora vomitoria agglutinin

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 1992
The galactose specific agglutinin from Calliphora vomitoria was found to be expressed in the haemolymph of all the larval instars, but could not be detected at any other time during the life cycle. The haemagglutinating activity was insensitive to wounding of the tegument or injection of saline; however, a significant increase in haemagglutinating ...

Intestinal Proteinases in an Insect, Calliphora vomitoria L.

Nature, 1961
THE properties of the proteolytic enzymes occurring in extracts of insect guts are generally thought to resemble those of vertebrate trypsin1,2. Only proteinases of alkaline type, with maximum activity about pH 8, have been recorded in Calliphora adults3, Lucilia larvae4, Musca larvae5, Stomoxys adults6, and Calliphora larvae7.

Localisation of sulfakinin neuronal pathways in the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria

Cell and Tissue Research, 1994
The distribution of neurones immunoreactive to antisera raised against the undecapeptide C-terminal fragment of drosulfakinin II (DrmSKII), Asp-Gln-Phe-Asp-Asp-Tyr(SO3H)-Gly-His-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2, has been studied in the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria. Antisera were preabsorbed with combinations of the parent antigen, the tetrapeptide Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 ...

Rhodanese in the blow-fly, Calliphora vomitoria L.

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1962
Abstract Two stocks of Calliphora vomitoria L. were tested for the presence of rhodanese. Activity to the order of 5 rhodanese units per gramme of tissue (fresh weight) was found in larvae, pupae, and adults.

Cell death in the salivary glands of metamorphosing calliphora vomitoria

Cell Biology International, 1993
AbstractThe salivary gland cells of Calliphora vomitoria larvae initiate and complete their own destruction in a programmed manner at the onset of metamorphosis.On entering the post‐feeding period the larvae come to rest and the polytene salivary gland cells show a significant increase in DNA synthesis followed closely by a surge of mRNA synthesis ...

Cuticular hydrocarbons of Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera): Relation to age and sex

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 1992
Changes in epicuticular hydrocarbon content and composition were examined from 3 to 120 hr postemergence in both sexes of Calliphora vomitoria. n-Alkanes and mono- and dimethylalkanes with 20 to 31 carbon atoms were the major hydrocarbons detected. Alkenes were only detected in the females.

Flight activity of the blowflies, Calliphora vomitoria and Lucilia sericata, in the dark

Forensic Science International, 2007
Many species of insects are able to fly at night or in very low light intensities. The question of whether calliphorid blowflies are also able to do this to locate a corpse and oviposit nocturnally is of considerable forensic importance. However, to date studies of this behaviour have been contradictory.
