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

Front Microbiol, 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 ...

Immunological evaluation of some antigens of Lucilia sericata larvae. [PDF]

J Parasit Dis, 2017
The present study aimed to select an antigen of Lucilia sericata larvae showing both high antigenicity and cross-reactive binding abilities with other related antigens of L. sericata larvae for obtaining a promising candidate vaccine antigen. The ELISA results primary concluded that among the excretory secretory (ES) and midgut (MG) antigens of the ...

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.

External Ophthalmomyiasis Caused by Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Challiphoride) Larva

Iranian Journal of Parasitology, 2017
Myiasis is an animal or human pathogenic condition initiated by parasitic dipterous fly larvae feeding in the host’s necrotic or living tissue. Here we report a case of external ophthalmomyiasis caused by Lucilia sericata in a 78-yr-old with a vascular ...

Synomones in necrophagous larvae of the blow flies Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vomitoria

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2022
Chemical signals are widespread in insects, but those resulting in interspecific communication (i.e., synomones) remain understudied. Here, we analysed chemicals left on substrates by two species of blow fly larvae, Lucilia sericata (Meigen) and ...

Genome and transcriptome sequencing of the green bottle fly, Lucilia sericata, reveals underlying factors of sheep flystrike and maggot debridement therapy.

Genomics, 2021
The common green bottle blow fly Lucilia sericata (family, Calliphoridae) is widely used for maggot debridement therapy, which involves the application of sterile maggots to wounds.
