HOST-ODOR ATTRACTANTS OF PHILORNIS DOWNSI [DIPTERA: MUSCIDAE], AN INVASIVE BIRD PARASITE IN THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS [PDF]

, 2019
Since its discovery in 1997, Philornis downsi has been shown to reduce fledgling success and fitness in many bird species within the Galapagos, including the endemic and critically endangered Darwin’s finches.

The life-cycle of Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) parasitizing Darwin's finches and its impacts on nestling survival

Parasitology, 2006
The fly, Philornis downsi Dodge & Aitken, was first collected in 1964 on the Galápagos Islands and is now widespread across the archipelago. Virtually nothing is known about the behaviour and ecology of the fly as well as for the genus in general. Here, we describe all larval instars for the first time, and discuss infection intensity and impacts of ...

Nest climate and blood quality of two host species of the ectoparasitic Philornis downsi in the Galapagos Islands as factors of larval development

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The avian vampire fly is an invasive species on the Galapagos Islands, where its hematophagous larvae utilize nestling birds as hosts. It poses a serious threat to populations and species of Darwin finches and other avian species.

Semiochemical Attractants of the Parasitic Fly Philornis Downsi in the Galapagos Islands [PDF]

, 2018
Larvae of the parasitic fly Philornis downsi (Diptera: Muscidae) feed on the blood and tissues of passerine chicks. Parasitism by P. downsi contributes to increasing mortality and population declines in several bird species in the Galapagos Islands. This
