Aggregation and Territoriality of Cuterebra Lepivora (Diptera: Cuterebridae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1980Two 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, 1989To 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.

The Pattern of Dermatobia (Diptera: Cuterebridae) Myiasis in Cattle in Tropical Mexico
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1988Monthly 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.

Aggregation Behavior of Adult Cuterebra Fontinella (Diptera: Cuterebridae) in Pennsylvania, USA
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1983The first eastern North American aggregation site reported for Cuterebra fontinella was discovered in Bradford Co., Pennsylvania, USA. Male flies established and patrolled territories within 3 different sections of an open Spiraea -grass-sedge meadow at the headwaters of an intermittent stream.

Hilltop territoriality in a Sonoran desert bot fly (Diptera: Cuterebridae)
Animal Behaviour, 1983Males 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

A Technique for the Laboratory Mating of Rodent Bot Flies (Diptera: Cuterebridae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1973Rodent 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 ...

Further studies on the chipmunk warble, Cuterebra emasculator (Diptera: Cuterebridae)
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1972The prevalence of Cuterebra emasculator Fitch in 1328 chipmunks (Tamias striatus) was analyzed as to the sex and age class of the host and to the forest habitats from which the chipmunks were obtained. The prevalence of the parasite was highest in immature animals of both sexes and lowest in adult females. Prevalence of C.

Laboratory Colonization of Rodent Bot Flies (Diptera, Cuterebridae)
Journal of Medical Entomology, 1964Two 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.
