Human myiasis is infestation of human living tissue with dipterous larvae. Urinary quite rare, because the fly has to bypass clothing/reach inaccesable site (genitals) lay egg, larva hatch and migrate urinary bladder. It may occur in immunocompromised individuals people who maintain poor personal hygiene. Authors hereby, present a case 10-year-old female child complaints passing small worm like...

Abstract The objectives were to determine the digestible energy (DE) and metabolizable (ME) concentrations in black solider fly (BSF; Hermetia illucens) larvae fed pigs develop prediction equations for BSF larvae. On a dry matter (DM) basis, 4 sources of defatted larva meal contained 4,402 5,173 kcal/kg gross (GE), 46.5 62.0% crude protein (CP), 9.0 14.3% ether extract (EE), 13.7 25.3% ash sour...

The study aimed to evaluate fish meal substitution with black soldier fly larvae supplemented 2% Trichoderma culture on female grower performance and carcass traits quail. materials used were 200 two-week-old quails an average body weight of 51.5 ± 7.3 grams. a completely randomized design five treatments four replications. were: BSF0 (100% meal), BSF25 (75% + 25% BSF BSF50 (50% 50% BSF75 (25% ...

Black soldier fly has been proposed as an alternative protein source sustainable for both food and feed due to its nutritional composition. The functional properties of this can be improved by inducing the Maillard reaction (MR) in protein-sugar mixtures. This study focused on conjugation characterisation black larvae (BSFL) proteins conjugates. defatted BSFL were subjected extraction at alkali...

Insects must undergo ecdysis for successful development and growth, and the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), released by the Inka cells, is a master hormone in this process. In this study, we determined the sequence of the ETH precursor and receptors in an agriculturally important pest insect, the oriental fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel). We identified two functionally distinct splice r...

Circadian rhythms can be entrained by light to follow the daily solar cycle. In Drosophila melanogaster a pair of extraretinal eyelets expressing immunoreactivity to Rhodopsin 6 each contains four photoreceptors located beneath the posterior margin of the compound eye. Their axons project to the region of the pacemaker center in the brain with a trajectory resembling that of Bolwig's organ, the...

Obscurin (also known as Unc-89 in Drosophila) is a large modular protein in the M-line of Drosophila muscles. Drosophila obscurin is similar to the nematode protein UNC-89. Four isoforms are found in the muscles of adult flies: two in the indirect flight muscle (IFM) and two in other muscles. A fifth isoform is found in the larva. The larger IFM isoform has all the domains that were predicted f...

Two new species of black flies, Simulium (Gomphostilbia) peteri sp. nov. and S. (G.) takaokai sp. nov., are described on the basis of reared adult, pupal and larval specimens collected from Peninsular India. These two new species are placed in the batoense species group within the subgenus Gomphostilbia. S. (G.) peteri sp. nov. is distinguished in the female by having a medium-sized round openi...
