Studies on Tyrosinase in Housefly [PDF]

open access: yesAgricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1962
Occurrence of protyrosinase in the prepupae of housefly, Musca vicina Maquart, and its activation were described. The prepupae possessing no appreciable tyrosinase activity could be separated from the other aged pupae by putting them into water. Homogenate prepared from the prepupae contains protyrosinase and has no activation system for the proenzyme.

The microbiomes of blowflies and houseflies as bacterial transmission reservoirs

open access: yes, 2021
Blowflies and houseflies are mechanical vectors inhabiting synanthropic environments around the world. They feed and breed in fecal and decaying organic matter, but the microbiome they harbour and transport is largely uncharacterized.
