		Effects of morphine in decomposing bodies on the development of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae).
		Abstract: This study concerns the effects of morphine in tissues on the rate of development of Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) using those tissues as a food source.
		Lucilia sericata is a species of fly commonly found on human corpses in Europe during the early stages of decomposition and thus of forensic interest.

		Lucilia sericata blow flies are usually the first flies to start laying eggs on the body; larvae pupate and develop on the body where they are laid (Erzinclioglu, 1989).
		Lucilia sericata larvae took an average of 1 minute 51 seconds to reach the center of the well, at an average rate of.021639 cm/sec.
		Lucilia sericata larvae in Chart II have a P value of 0.0202 and a median difference of 32 seconds; the data is still significant, although less so than biotic residue versus food.

	NZPPS Blowfly and Flystrike Resistance Strategy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Individuals of the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina that entered New Zealand supposedly in the late 1970s, carried alleles that conferred resistance against diazinon, an organophosphate insecticide (Arnold and Whitten 1976; Wilson and Heath 1994), the basis of resistance being a microsomal esterase E3 (Hughes and Raftos 1985).
		sericata are responsible for initiating the majority of flystrikes, but the primary lesion is often colonised a little later by either Calliphora stygia, the brown blowfly, or Chrysomya rufifacies, the hairy maggot fly.

		The present study aims to examine the survival of pupae and larvae of the blow fly, Lucilia sericata, at overwintering temperatures.
		sericata does not appear to be an adaptation to enhance cold tolerance or resistance to cold shock.
		sericata is likely to be relatively less affected by low temperatures than it is by, for example, biotic factors, particularly given the buffered soil environment and short time-scales over which periods of cold act.

	Introduction to Myiasis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The most widely used species is the `greenbottle' blowfly, Lucilia (= Phaenicia of some authors) sericata although the use of some other facultative calliphorids, which all share several advantageous biological properties has also been described in the literature.
		Interestingly, Lucilia sericata, the species used most commonly in maggot therapy today, is a serious pest to the sheep industry of the UK, Europe and New Zealand.
		In the Western world, naturally occurring cases of myiasis in humans with facultative parasites are most commonly seen in young children, in the elderly, in the physically or mentally infirm, in cases of personal neglect or in the setting of high fly density.

		Chrysomya albiceps: summer and fall; taking into account that Lucilia sericata has initially produced, at least a generation.
		Lucilia sericata is the dominant specie during the spring.

	Research
		The blow fly Lucilia sericata has a long standing history in medicine due to the fact that blow fly maggots can be used in wound healing.
		To date, the embryology of the blow fly Lucilia sericata has not been described in detail and hardly any molecular and functional characterization of genes has been reported so far.
		The embryology of the blow fly is remarkably similar to that of Drosophila, for this reason we have adapted embryonic stages according to the definition of stages in Drosophila (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1985).

		First, the effect of population size on speciation is studied using several meta-analyses of published laboratory experiments.
		Second, the effect of population size on behaviour is studied using a laboratory population of the blowfly Lucilia sericata.
		Female mate choice and a positive effect of number of eggs on larval survival are suggested to be the underlying factors.

		The use of maggots has long been an established and succesful method for teating chronic wounds in man and recently undergoing in renaissance suggesting that this wound treatment modality might be suitable for use in animals.
		We investigated the use of sterile maggots (Lucilia sericata, Biomondeâ) in one bovine and two equine patients with wound healing problems.
		Our initial observation on the use of maggots in the treatment of problematic wounds suggest these modality could provide an effective supplement to current wound techniques and should be investigated further in more controlled studies utilizing larger patient numbers.

		L cuprina is the most important primary fly in Australia and South Africa; L sericata in Great Britain; and L cuprina, L sericata, and Calliphora stygia in New Zealand.

		For L. cuprina (where the model's structure is appropriate) a good fit can be obtained, while for L. sericata (where the model is inappropriate), the fitted model does not reproduce some major features of the observed cycles.

		Third, the effect of population size on morphological and genetic variation is studied using wings and microsatellites from wild populations of L.
		No historic bottlenecks could be detected in the fly populations, but strong genetic indications suggest a fine grained genetic population structure of wild Lucilia flies.
		Bottlenecks had unpredictable effects on wing morphology as well as on genetic variation and fitness in a laboratory stock of L.

		This is a species of Lucilia and there is little chance that we can ever say which one, unless I am very much mistaken.
		It is not that easy to get a correct value of the length vs width of the first flagellomere, but it seems to be somewhere between 3.5 and 4.2 longer than wide.
		Well, both Lucilia caesar and Lucilia illustris can be found in urban enviroment, but they are not as strongly synanthropic as Lucilia sericata, except in the northern parts of their range, where they are wholly dependent on man.

		There was no difference between paddocks in either numbers of lambs struck or in strike rate (strikes/lamb/day), indicating that the presence of the bin traps had no effect on the incidence of flystrike.
		A possible explanation for this is that 90% of the flies caught in the bin traps were Lucilia sericata while the dominant fly striking sheep was Licilia cuprina (i.e., 68% of strikes comprised L.cuprina alone whilst 30% comprised a mixture of L.cuprina and L.sericata).
