Scanning electron microscopy of male genitalia of Dermatobia hominis (Diptera: cuterebridae).

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1990
The male genitalia of Dermatobia hominis L. is described morphologically by the use of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and compared, under light microscopy, with other Cuterebridae D. hominis differes from Metacuterebra apicalis (Guérin-Méneville) because it has longer gonopods, shorter parameter, a small crest and spines on the distiphallus a ...

Attempts to Culture the Parasitic Stage of Dermatobia hominis (L. Jr.) In vitro (Diptera: Cuterebridae)

Journal of Parasitology, 1987
Dermatobia hominis larvae were cultured in a semidefined liquid medium. First-instar larvae (L1) grew well up to 44 days; 29.1% molted in a mean period of 8.62 days. Two larvae reached the third instar but lived only 1 and 18 days, respectively, after the second molt. The increase in size, measured in 4 larvae, was about 10-fold.

Aggregation and Territoriality of Cuterebra Lepivora (Diptera: Cuterebridae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1980
Two aggregations of male Cuterebra lepivora were discovered in an open area of brush and dry grasses in Poso Creek basin, Kern Co., California, USA. Males established and defended territories against conspecific males and responded to females that entered their territories.

Topically Applied Ivermectin: Efficacy Against Torsalo (Diptera: Cuterebridae)

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1989
To determine the systemic efficacy and persistence of a 0.5% ivermectin topical formulation against natural infestation of torsalo, Dermatobia hominis (L., Jr.), larvae in cattle, two trials in Colombia and two trials in Brazil were done. Of 56 infested cattle used in these trials, 28 were treated and 28 served as untreated controls.

Hilltop territoriality in a Sonoran desert bot fly (Diptera: Cuterebridae)

Animal Behaviour, 1983
Males of an undescribed species of Cuterebra bot fly defend territories along ridge tops in the Sonoran desert of central Arizona. The most consistently occupied site, an 18 m2 territory at the peak of a ridge, was usually defended by a single male for the entire (2–2.5 h) flight period of the morning. An average of five other males visited the peaktop

The Pattern of Dermatobia (Diptera: Cuterebridae) Myiasis in Cattle in Tropical Mexico

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988
Monthly inspections of cattle in southern Quintana Roo, Mexico, revealed a mean monthly infestation rate of 23% of animals with Dermatobia myiasis. Multiple infestations were common, and over the course of the wet season (June–December), 71% of cattle became infested.

A Technique for the Laboratory Mating of Rodent Bot Flies (Diptera: Cuterebridae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1973
Rodent bot flies of the genus Culerebra were first mated in the laboratory by Catts (1964, J. Med. Ent. 1 : 195–96) using procedures described by Weintraub (1961, Can. Ent. 93 : 149–56). The most successful of these techniques, the “tethered flight” method, consists of affixing a thread to the thorax of each fly and manipulating the sexes together in ...

Laboratory Colonization of Rodent Bot Flies (Diptera, Cuterebridae)

Journal of Medical Entomology, 1964
Two species of rodent bot flies, Cuterebra approximata Walker and C. latifrons Coq. were colonized through three generations in the laboratory. Rearing material was obtained from trapped wild hosts and captured gravid female flies. In the laboratory, native hosts (Peromyscus maniculatus ssp.
