Genetic control of Lucilia cuprina
The Lucilia cuprina genetic control program conducted by members of CSIRO Entomology is reviewed. A strategy for reviving interest in area-wide control of this pest is suggested through the development of mass-rearing abilities, leading to the application of SIRM to eradicate the pest from Tasmania. Genetic control methods could be integrated in the SIRM program if appropriate strains could be ...
متن کاملPreparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles.
Chitosan nanoparticles, such as those prepared in this study, may exhibit potential antibacterial activity as their unique character. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles and copper-loaded nanoparticles against various microorganisms. Chitosan nanoparticles were prepared based on the ionic gelation of chitosan with tripolyphosph...
متن کاملAntibacterial Effects of Chitosan/Cationic Peptide Nanoparticles
This study attempted to develop chitosan-based nanoparticles with increased stability and antibacterial activity. The chitosan/protamine hybrid nanoparticles were formed based on an ionic gelation method by mixing chitosan with protamine and subsequently cross-linking the mixtures with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP). The effects of protamine on the chemical structures, physical properties, and a...
متن کاملHistone deacetylase enzymes as drug targets for the control of the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina
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 via different mechanisms. Inhibitors of histone deacetylases (HDACs), enzymes essential for regulating eukaryotic gene transcription, are prospec...
متن کاملViability of Lucilia sericata maggots after exposure to wound antiseptics.
After debridement and before dressing a wound with maggots of calliphorid flies, one frequently performed step is the application of antiseptics to the prepared wound bed. However, the concomitant application of antiseptic agents during maggot therapy is regarded controversial as antiseptics may interfere with maggots' viability. In this experimental in vitro study, the viability of fly maggots...
