Biofilm formation in wounds and on biomaterials is increasingly recognized as a problem. It therefore is important to focus on new strategies for eradicating severe biofilm-associated infections. The beneficial effects of maggots (Lucilia sericata) in wounds have been known for centuries. We hypothesized sterile maggot excretions and secretions (ES) could prevent, inhibit, and break down biofil...

Two insecticide formulations containing the naturalyte insecticide spinosad, GF-120 Fruit Fly Bait and SpinTor 2 SC, were compared for control of apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh), and blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax Curran. In 2002 and 2003, larval infestation in blueberries and apples was significantly lower in plots treated with GF-120 (spinosad bait) or SpinTor than in untreate...

Maggot or Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) is a source of good quality protein. A household business can produce maggots, so developing and increasing production marketing using digital necessary. It believed that improving performance increase the readiness producers to their maggot production, open new opportunities, empower community's economy. This study aims determine effectiveness wi...

Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) is increasingly being used as a fast and effective treatment of non-healing wounds. It has been demonstrated that the application of sterile larvae to an infected non-healing wound results in the removal of necrotic tissue (debridement), disinfection, rapid elimination of infecting microorganisms and enhancement of the healing process. Many studies have provided...

Food security is threatened by the global increase of human population, climate change, inequality wealth distribution, state natural resources, peace and sustainability, among others. Aquaculture has become an important part food supply, hence contributing to security. Sustainable fish production, which represents affordable protein should therefore involve feed formulation production techniqu...
