Tumbu Fly Larvae.
A 46-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with a 10-day history of pain and swelling in her right arm. She had recently returned to the United Kingdom from the Ivory Coast. Examination revealed distinct areas of ulceration with surrounding erythema distal to her right elbow. Cellulitis due to insect bites was diagnosed, and she was treated with antibiotic agents. The following d...

متن کاملNeuroethology: A Neuronal Self-Defense Mechanism in Fly Larvae
The detection of harmful stimuli - nociception - has been suggested to rely on evolutionarily conserved neuronal mechanisms. A recent study has shown how the activity of nociceptive neurons in Drosophila larvae triggers a defense mechanism against a parasitoid wasp.
متن کاملEscape manoeuvres in damsel-fly larvae: kinematics and dynamics.
The kinematics and hydrodynamics of rapid escape manoeuvres executed by final-stage larvae of Enallagma cyathigerum were investigated using videography combined with a simple wake-visualisation technique. Two kinds of escape manoeuvres were identified: first, a 'rapid flex', comparable with the rapid C-start of fish, and, second, a 'rapid twist' that involves a helical contraction of the body i...
متن کاملDynamics of Social Behavior in Fruit Fly Larvae
We quantified the extent and dynamics of social interactions among fruit fly larvae over time. Both a wild-type laboratory population and a recently-caught strain of larvae spontaneously formed social foraging groups. Levels of aggregation initially increased during larval development and then declined with the wandering stage before pupation. We show that larvae aggregated more on hard than so...
