Multiple actions of Lucilia sericata larvae in hardtoheal wounds
In Europe 15,000 patients receive larval therapy for wound treatment annually. Over the past few years, clinical studies have demonstrated the success of larvae of Lucilia sericata as debridement agents. This is based on a combination of physical andbiochemical actions. Laboratory investigations have advanced our understanding of the biochemical mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of l...
متن کاملRearing larvae of Lucilia sericata for chronic ulcer treatment--an improved method.
Larval therapy is a biological 'dressing' for chronic ulcers which is used for debridement, to initiate healing and to reduce bacteria and unpleasant odour. One condition for being able to employ larval therapy is access to disinfected larvae of good quality. We therefore started rearing Lucilia sericata larvae in 1998. Rearing necrophagous larvae in a hospital setting makes it essential to con...
متن کاملEnvironmental Factors Influencing the Growth of Lucilia sericata Larvae Used for Maggot Therapy under Laboratory Condition
Background: The larvae of Lucilia sericata are efficiently and widely used in maggot therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate some environmental factors that influence the mass rearing of Lucilia sericata as the most suitable candidates for maggot therapy in Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in fli...
متن کاملDevelopment modeling of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
The relationship between insect development and temperature has been well established and has a wide range of uses, including the use of blow flies for postmortem (PMI) interval estimations in death investigations. To use insects in estimating PMI, we must be able to determine the insect age at the time of discovery and backtrack to time of oviposition. Unfortunately, existing development model...
متن کاملSelective Antibiofilm Effects of Lucilia sericata Larvae Secretions/Excretions against Wound Pathogens
Background. Maggot debridement therapy (MDT), using Lucilia sericata larvae, represents efficient, simple, and low-cost therapy for the treatment of chronic wounds. Aim. The aim was to investigate the antibiofilm activity of maggot excretions/secretions (ES) against biofilm of wound isolates Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae), and Proteus mirabilis (P. mirabili...
