Histopathological investigation of wound healing activities of Lucilia sericata Larva and Achillea sintenisii extract combinations in diabetic rat wound model

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 659-671, September 2026.
Lucilia sericata larvae secrete bioactive compounds that promote wound debridement and antimicrobial defence in chronic tissue injuries. Achillea sintenisii extract offers phytotherapeutic support, enhancing healing through anti‐inflammatory and regenerative properties. Diabetic Wistar rats were treated topically with Furacin®, larval secretions, plant

Spectral sensitivity of the compound eyes and behavioral attraction to light stimuli with different intensities and wavelengths in Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826) from Colombia

Revista de la Academia Colombiana de Ciencias Exactas, Físicas y Naturales, 2023
Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a synanthropic fly with a worldwide distribution that pollinates plants and is relevant in medical, veterinary, and forensic sciences. L.

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

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 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 ...

Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 377-396, September 2026.
Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Plant Traits and Reproduction in a Multitrophic System: The Role of Aphids, Parasitoids and Hyperparasitoids

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 822-830, August 2026.
This field mesocosm study examined the top‐down effects of hyperparasitoids, parasitoids and aphids on plant growth and fitness. Parasitoids reduced aphid populations, but this effect was attenuated by hyperparasitoids. However, these multitrophic interactions did not affect plant traits and reproduction, likely due to the plant's fast life cycle and ...

Recovery of male DNA acquired from carrion‐feeding insects in a simulated sexual assault scenario

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 71, Issue 4, Page 1576-1591, July 2026.
Abstract When bodies of sexual assault victims are discovered in advanced stages of decomposition, the recovery of direct DNA evidence is often compromised, posing a challenge in criminal investigations. This study aimed to determine insect colonization and succession patterns on pig carcasses inoculated with semen and to assess the feasibility of ...

Hairy, hairy quite contrary: Pollination and functional floral traits in a hirsute carrion‐scented stapeliad

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Floral mimicry of decaying substrates of animal origin, such as carrion or faeces, is associated with unusual traits such as geoflory, deep maroon or yellow colouration, floral hairs and unpleasant odour, but the functional significance of these traits for attracting and manipulating pollinators has seldom been examined.

DIVERSITY OF NECROPHAGOUS BLOWFLY (DIPTERA: CALLIPHORIDAE) OF MEDICAL AND VETERINARY IMPORTANCE IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS IN CÓRDOBA (ARGENTINA)

Caldasia, 2016
The complex nature of urban environments can have different effects on species diversity and composition. The aim of this work was to characterize the assemblage of Calliphoridae regarding its richness, abundance, and synanthropy in Córdoba City ...

Substrate Preference of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Is Influenced by Rearing History

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 477-494, June 2026.
BSF larvae were reared under six different conditions: low, medium, or high larval density and on low, medium, and high‐water feeds to investigate feed choice behaviour. Larvae reared under all six conditions preferred substrate colonised by conspecifics. Low‐water feed caused slower larval growth and development.
