Primeros registros de cuatro especies de Calliphoridae (Diptera: Oestroidea) de Yucatán, México

Revista Chilena de Entomología, 2021
La familia Calliphoridae es un componente integral de la estimación del intervalo post mortem (IPM) debido a su desarrollada capacidad para detectar la descomposición de cadáveres a grandes distancias y la habilidad para colonizarlos a diferentes ...

Divergent Genetic Pathways Underlying Convergent Parasitic Behaviours in Blowflies. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Blowfly (Diptera: Calliphoridae) exhibit diverse feeding strategies, with most species developing on decomposing organic matter. However, parasitism has evolved within the family, and some species convergently gained the ability to explore the tissues of living vertebrate hosts, which imposes critical veterinary, medical, and agricultural ...

Network analysis with either Illumina or MinION reveals that detecting vertebrate species requires metabarcoding of iDNA from a diverse fly community

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6418-6435, December 2023., 2023
Abstract DNA obtained from invertebrates (iDNA) can be metabarcoded in order to survey vertebrate communities. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction between the invertebrate and vertebrate species. Here, we tested for specialization by sampling the dung and carrion fly community of a swamp forest remnant along a disturbance ...

Control of sheep flystrike: what's been tried in the past and where to from here

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 100, Issue 1-2, Page 1-19, January/February 2022., 2022
Flystrike remains a serious financial and animal welfare issue for the sheep industry in Australia despite many years of research into control methods. The present paper provides an extensive review of past research on flystrike, and highlights areas that hold promise for providing long‐term control options.

Origins and Diversification of Myiasis Across Blowflies. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the evolutionary path to parasitism in blowflies, modeling traits such as trophic specialization, larval food substrate, and developmental temperature. Our results support that blowfly parasitism evolved from saprophagy or facultative parasitism, emphasizing the crucial role of facultative parasitism as a transitional stage ...

Not all maggots are created equal; not all maggots are therapeutic. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
Key Clinical Message Maggots in a wound (“myiasis”) cannot be considered maggot therapy (therapeutic myiasis) unless, at a minimum, the species is known to be safe and effective, and the maggots have been properly disinfected. Documenting treatment details is critical and allows us to determine the cause of problems, if they arise.

Effect of Type of Tissue on the Development of Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in Sri Lanka

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
Abstract Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart), the hairy maggot blow fly, is of great importance for the field of forensic entomology due to its habit as an early colonizer of decomposing vertebrate remains and myiasis producer. Development studies on this species have been conducted in scattered regions of the world, using types of tissue ...
