the larvae causing myiasis can lead extensive tissue destruction, invasion into deep tissues and secondary infec­tions. poor hygiene, low socioeconomic condition and presence of open wounds are the most important predisposing factors. this case report describes destructive wound myiasis in a 58-year-old male patient diagnosed with maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma who lives in a rural are...

Lucilia amazonia, sp. nov. from the Amazon region of Colombia and Brazil is described based on morphology. This species appears to be limited quite distinctive unlike other in region. A key provided following Whitworth (2014). Based distribution observed, its likely predicted.

we report a case of human nasal nosocomial myiasis in a 69-year-old rural man with numerous live maggots in nostrils. the patient was admitted in emergency ward due to dyspnea. after 72 hours the companion of patient discovered larva. the presence of the third instar larva indicated that the infestation was not more than three days. the collected instars were cleared, fixed and morphological st...

The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of evaluating entomological evidence in forensic investigations on a regional scale. To evaluate climatic, geographical and environmental influences on the selection of carrion-breeding fauna in Northern Italy and consequently on inferred forensic data (post-mortem intervals and post-mortem transfer), we present details of six indoor-outdoor...

Electrical responses were recorded intracellularly from the compound eyes of a fly (Lucilia) and of several dragonflies (Copera, Agriocnemis, and Lestes). An ommatidium of the dragonflies is made up of four retinula cells and a rhabdom composed of three rhabdomeres while the Lucilia has an ommatidium of seven independent retinula cells and rhabdomeres. The intracellular responses presumably rec...

The Bicoid morphogen evolved approximately 150 MYA from a Hox3 duplication and is only found in higher dipterans. A major difference between dipteran species, however, is the size of the embryo, which varies up to 5-fold. Although the expression of developmental factors scale with egg length, it remains unknown how this scaling is achieved. To test whether scaling is accounted for by the proper...

We introduce the Illustris Project, a series of large-scale hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation. The highest resolution simulation, Illustris-1, covers a volume of (106.5Mpc), has a dark mass resolution of 6.26× 10 M , and an initial baryonic matter mass resolution of 1.26× 10 M . At z = 0 gravitational forces are softened on scales of 710 pc, and the smallest hydrodynamical gas cell...
