Population structure, gene flow and genetic diversity of sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina dorsalis) in Australia [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Flystrike (cutaneous myiasis) is caused by blowfly larvae of the genus Lucilia. This disease is a major obstacle to sustainable global sheep and wool production.

Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis supports the valid separate species status of Lucilia caesar and L. illustris (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Forensic Sciences Research, 2018
Common DNA-based species determination methods fail to distinguish some blow flies in the forensically and medically important genus Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy. This is a practical problem, and it has also been interpreted as casting doubt on the validity

Strangulated <i>Bochdalek</i> Hernia in an Adult Patient. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Strangulated Bochdalek hernia is a rare, life‐threatening condition in adults that requires a high degree of suspicion for diagnosis. Symptoms are often nonspecific, and prompt imaging is crucial. Early surgical intervention is essential to prevent irreversible damage and reduce mortality.

Ignatzschineria larvae Bacteremia Following Lucilia sp. Myiasis in an Irregular Migrant: A Case Report

Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2021
Bacteremia induced by wound myiasis is uncommon and therefore rarely suspected by clinicians when treating patients with neglected wounds. We present a case of Ignatzschineria larvae bacteremia as a complication of Lucilia sp.

New Insights Into Culturable and Unculturable Bacteria Across the Life History of Medicinal Maggots Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Because of the nutritional ecology of dung- and carrion-feeding, bacteria are the integral part of Lucilia sericata life cycle. Nevertheless, the disinfected larvae of the blowfly are applied to treat human chronic wounds in a biosurgery named maggot ...

Building a transgenic sexing strain for genetic control of the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina using two lethal effectors

BMC Genetics, 2020
The sterile insect technique (SIT) has been successfully used in many pest management programs worldwide. Some SIT programs release both sexes due to the lack of genetic sexing strains or efficient sex separation methods but sterile females are ...

Amphibian Strategies Against Attacks by Flies: Host-Specificity and Threats. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Species interactions between Diptera flies and amphibians play a significant role in tropical ecosystems, but their ecology and evolution remain understudied. This review explores the costs flies impose on amphibians, such as pathogen transmission and disruption of communication systems, and highlights the evolutionary strategies employed by both ...
