Integrated genome-wide investigations of the housefly, a global vector of diseases reveal unique dispersal patterns and bacterial communities across farms

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) live in intimate association with numerous microorganisms and is a vector of human pathogens. In temperate areas, houseflies will overwinter in environments constructed by humans and recolonize surrounding areas

Extreme Silk Toughness in Caerostris Spiders Is Limited to Adult Females

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We ask whether species with exceptionally tough silk, like Caerostris bark spiders, show different developmental patterns in silk toughness between ontogenetic stages and sexes. We found that only large females produce exceptionally tough silk with higher initial stiffness, while juvenile females as well as adult and juvenile males produce inferior ...

Anatomy and Histology of the Midgut of Atopozelus opsimus (Heteroptera: Reduviidae)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atopozelus opsimus Elkins, 1954 (Heteroptera: Reduviidae) preys on forest and agricultural pests but also feeds on extrafloral nectar; however, its alimentary canal is poorly understood. The aim was to describe the anatomy and histology of the A. opsimus midgut. The alimentary canal of female and male A.

Characterization of Resistance Patterns and Detection of Apramycin Resistance Genes in Escherichia coli Isolated from Chicken Feces and Houseflies after Apramycin Administration

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of apramycin administration on the development of antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains isolated from chicken feces and houseflies under field conditions. Chickens in the medicated

Alternative Protein Sources in Poultry and Pig Nutrition—A Review

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are an essential nutrient for the viability of all animals, enabling organisms to grow, regenerate and defend themselves against pathogenic organisms. Soybean and soybean‐based materials are commonly used to supplement protein in animal nutrition.

Bacterial Communities Associated with Houseflies (Musca domestica L.) Sampled within and between Farms. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The housefly feeds and reproduces in animal manure and decaying organic substances and thus lives in intimate association with various microorganisms including human pathogens. In order to understand the variation and association between bacteria and the

Full‐length coding sequence analysis of the voltage‐gated sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes reveals target‐site mutations and acetylcholinesterase gene duplication in housefly (Musca domestica) populations in Japanese livestock barns

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
We simultaneously analysed insecticide resistance mutations in VGSC and AChE using NGS and hybridization probe capture in houseflies collected from livestock facilities for the first time. Resistance mutations in both VGSC and AChE were detected in most wild populations, suggesting widespread distribution of resistance genes.
