Morphological identification of Lucilia sericata, Lucilia cuprina and their hybrids (Diptera, Calliphoridae). [PDF]
Zookeys, 2014 Hybrids of Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina have been shown to exist in previous studies using molecular methods, but no study has shown explicitly that these hybrids can be identified morphologically.

A Field Evaluation of the LuciTrap and the Western Australian Trap with Three Different Baits Types for Monitoring Lucilia cuprina and Lucilia sericata in New Zealand. [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Flytraps can be used on farms to monitor the populations of primary strike flies (Lucilia cuprina and Lucilia sericata) and, hence, offer a view regarding the incidence of flystrike on sheep. This study aimed to contrast the specificity and effectiveness

Effects of Tagetes minuta essencial oil on Lucilia cuprina third instar larvae. [PDF]
Data Brief, 2019 The activity of Tagetes minuta essential oil (TMEO) was tested against third instar larvae (L3) of the Australian blowfly Lucilia cuprina. We have determined the potential of the T. minuta EO as a new biopesticide candidate. To test this, groups of 20 L3

Antiviral and virucidal activities of Lucilia cuprina maggots' excretion/secretion (Diptera: Calliphoridae): first work. [PDF]
Heliyon, 2019 Maggots of Lucilia sericata and L. cuprina are a backbone of the maggot debridement therapy. Further, the excretion/secretion (E/S) of these maggots has antibacterial and antifungal activities, nevertheless the antiviral activity of E/S for these maggots

A Comparative Analysis of the Responses of <i>Lucilia cuprina</i> (Wiedemann) and <i>Chrysomya rufifacies</i> (Macqart) (Calliphoridae) to Different Reflectance Levels of Green and Yellow Light Hues. [PDF]
InsectsProximate visual cues play a crucial role for flies (Order: Diptera) in locating suitable foraging and oviposition sites. This study examined the behavioural responses of two sheep myiasis-causing blowfly species in Australia, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann)

Effect of chilling on pupal developmental arrest and subsequent impact on quality control parameters of adult blowfly, Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae). [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 The chilling process will surely be a very cost-effective measure for repeated mass rearing and be an effective source for the requirements of a huge number of pupae collected and supplied for the sterile insect technique (SIT) program.

Using Moderate Transgene Expression to Improve the Genetic Sexing System of the Australian Sheep Blow Fly Lucilia cuprina. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 The sterile insect technique (SIT) is a promising strategy to control the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina, a major pest of sheep. We have previously developed a transgenic embryonic sexing system (TESS) for this pest to facilitate the potential
