Development of larvae of the Australian blowfly, Calliphora augur (Diptera: Calliphoridae), at constant temperatures

Unsaponifiable constituents of blowfly larvae (Calliphora erythrocephala).

The identity of Calliphora bezzii Zumpt, 1956 (Diptera, Calliphoridae).

The holotype male of a nominal species described from Italy, Calliphora bezzii Zumpt, 1956, including a microscope slide of its terminalia, was examined. The holotype is shown to belong to the Nearctic taxon Calliphora latifrons Hough, 1899. Thus, Calliphora bezzii is a junior synonym of C. latifrons, syn. nov.

The immune response of larvae and pupae of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae), upon administered insult with Escherichia coli.

Adult blowflies, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, are exposed to bacteria-laden decay as adults and larvae. They are protected from infections in such habitats by a family of lytic proteins called Cecropins. In this study, we explore the relationshipbetween the developmental stages of the blowfly and the strength of the immune response when insulted by an endogenous pathogen, Echerichia col...

the impact of morphological awareness on the vocabulary development of the iranian efl students

this study investigated the impact of explicit instruction of morphemic analysis and synthesis on the vocabulary development of the students. the participants were 90 junior high school students divided into two experimental groups and one control group. morphological awareness techniques (analysis/synthesis) and conventional techniques were used to teach vocabulary in the experimental groups a...

Larval growth rates of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina, over a range of temperatures.

Blowfly larvae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) fulfil an important ecological function in the decomposition of animal remains. They are also used extensively in forensic entomology, predominantly to establish a minimum time since death, or a minimum post-mortem interval, using the larval length as a 'biological clock'. This study examined the larval growth rate of a forensically important fly species,...
