Environmental Control of Larval Diapause in the Blow Fly, Lucilia sericata
Lucilia sericata shows a facultative diapause in the third, and final larval, instar after the cessation of feeding. The effects of photoperiod and temperature on the induction and duration of diapause were examined in parental (G0) and current (G1) generations. Insects of the G0 generation were reared under four combinations of conditions, involving two photoperiods, LD 16:8 and LD 12:12, and ...
متن کاملOn an enzyme from blow-fly larvae [Lucilia sericata] which digests collagen in alkaline solution.
IT is well known that sclero-proteins are not readily digested by the enzymes of vertebrates; both pepsin and trypsin act upon elastin, collagen is very resistant to trypsin but is digested by pepsin, and keratin is not attacked by either enzyme. However, Stankovic, Arnovlzevic and Matavulj [1929] have described a keratinase from the crops of certain birds of prey and Ssadikov [1927] has claime...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides expressed in medicinal maggots of the blow fly Lucilia sericata show combinatorial activity against bacteria.
The larvae of the common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) produce antibacterial secretions that have a therapeutic effect on chronic and nonhealing wounds. Recent developments in insect biotechnology have made it possible to use these larvae as a source of novel anti-infectives. Here, we report the application of next-generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) to characterize the transcriptomes of ...
متن کامل[Wound myiasis caused by Lucilia sericata].
Report of a case of miyasis in Lucilia sericata infected wounds recently observed in Paris in a 67-year-old vagrant. The authors describe the role played by Lucilia sericata in therapy before the appearance of sulfanilamides and antibiotics.
متن کاملThe human aural myiasis caused by Lucilia sericata.
Myiasis is a rare, worldwide, human disease with seasonal variation, caused by developing larvae of a variety of fly species. It can be dangerous when infestations penetrate into the brain. In the available literature, we have found only a few papers concerning ear myiasis caused by Lucilia sericata. Here, we report 2 cases of aural myiasis. Early intervention (surgical removal, occlusion) in t...
