A metagenomic assessment of the bacteria associated with Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2014
Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a blow fly genus of forensic, medical, veterinary, and agricultural importance. This genus is also famous because of its beneficial uses in maggot debridement therapy (MDT).

Lucilia cuprina genome unlocks parasitic fly biology to underpin future interventions. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 2015
AbstractLucilia cuprina is a parasitic fly of major economic importance worldwide. Larvae of this fly invade their animal host, feed on tissues and excretions and progressively cause severe skin disease (myiasis). Here we report the sequence and annotation of the 458-megabase draft genome of Lucilia cuprina.

Genetic and behavioral analyses suggest that larval and adult stages of Lucilia cuprina employ different sensory systems to detect rotten beef. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors
Background The blowfly Lucilia cuprina is a destructive parasite of sheep that causes flystrike or myiasis. Larvae consume the animal’s living flesh, producing large wounds that can lead to death. The main aim of this study was to identify genes that may

Major SCP/TAPS protein expansion in Lucilia cuprina is associated with novel tandem array organisation and domain architecture. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2020
Background Larvae of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, parasitise sheep by feeding on skin excretions, dermal tissue and blood, causing severe damage known as flystrike or myiasis. Recent advances in -omic technologies and bioinformatic data

Insecticidal activities of histone deacetylase inhibitors against a dipteran parasite of sheep, Lucilia cuprina. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Drugs Drug Resist, 2017
Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) are being investigated for the control of various human parasites. Here we investigate their potential as insecticides for the control of a major ecto-parasite of sheep, the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina.

Histone deacetylase enzymes as drug targets for the control of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. [PDF]

Int J Parasitol Drugs Drug Resist, 2015
The Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, is an ecto-parasite that causes significant economic losses in the sheep industry. Emerging resistance to insecticides used to protect sheep from this parasite is driving the search for new drugs that act ...

Distribution of Ammonia in Larvæ of Lucilia cuprina [PDF]

Nature, 1940
IT has been established that sterile larvae of Lucilia sericata excrete the bulk of their nitrogen in the form of ammonia1,2. Similar studies with larvae of the Australian sheep blowfly, L. cuprina, support these findings. When reared on a medium composed of yeast, egg white and sodium chloride3 the ammonia excretion per 100 larvae increased after ...

Composition of Necrophagous Insect Assemblages in Altitudinal Gradient of Central Chile. [PDF]

Insects
This study evaluated whether necrophagous arthropod assemblages, with emphasis on Calliphoridae (Diptera), differ among three sites in central Chile: Coastal (50 masl), Pre-mountain range (1000 masl), and High Andean (1800 masl).

Mitochondrial genomic investigation reveals a clear association between species and genotypes of Lucilia and geographic origin in Australia

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background Lucilia cuprina and L. sericata (family Calliphoridae) are globally significant ectoparasites of sheep. Current literature suggests that only one of these blowfly subspecies, L.

Dosage Compensation of X-Linked Muller Element F Genes but Not X-Linked Transgenes in the Australian Sheep Blowfly. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In most animals that have X and Y sex chromosomes, chromosome-wide mechanisms are used to balance X-linked gene expression in males and females. In the fly Drosophila melanogaster, the dosage compensation mechanism also generally extends to X-linked ...
