Infancy Urogenital Myiasis: A Case Report [PDF]

Iranian Journal of Medical Sciences
Myiasis is a parasitic infestation of fly larvae caused by dipterous larvae that live in the host’s dead or living tissues. This study reported the first case of urogenital myiasis in infants from Iran caused by Lucilia sericata. The 10-month-old boy was

Comparative efficacy and studies of mode of action of minerals from diatoms against three species of filth flies

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Mortality for diatomaceous earth was observed as early as 2 h after exposure with 50% and 90% mortality at 3.5 and 4.6 h (LT50 and LT90, respectively) for Musca domestica. The LT50 and LT90 increased when the size of the fly species increased (M. domestica to Cochliomyia macellaria to Sarcophaga bullata) and increased for all three from 50 to 70 ...

Studies of forensically important flies of Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae in Malaysia : Morphological taxonomy, geographical and ecological distribution, species succession on carcasses, and DNA-based identification / Tan Siew Hwa [PDF]

, 2012
In forensic entomology, knowledge of insect taxonomy, development, behaviour and ecology is required to allow accurate data interpretation from entomological evidence in investigations.

Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...

Parasitoidism by Brachymeria pandora (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) in Pupae of Danaus erippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in an Urban Savanna Area

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Chalcididae comprises parasitoid wasps that attack various invertebrate groups. Within the family, some Brachymeria species specialises in infecting pupae of Lepidoptera. Here, we quantitatively describe the relationship between Brachymeria pandora and the Southern Monarch butterfly, Danaus erippus, in urban areas of Cuiabá, Mato Grosso ...

Is the composition of the dipteran (Insecta) assemblage altered in mangrove environments by the presence of anthropogenic disturbances? A preliminary study on the coast of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Revista Chilena de Entomología
Sarcosaprophagous dipterans are well known due to their forensic and medical-sanitary importance, as they are possible vectors of pathogens and cause myiasis.

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 601-624, July 2026.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Beyond birds: rethinking bird‐centered pathogen models in light of insect migration

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.
Migration redistributes biomass, nutrients, and pathogens across ecosystems. For decades, migratory birds have been treated as the default long‐distance pathogen vectors, shaping both conceptual frameworks and empirical models of disease ecology.
