myiasis in a turkey.	a case of cutaneous myiasis was reported in a 3.5-month-old turkey. the bird was invaded by a very large number of maggots on its posterior half. the maggots killed the bird and consumed all the flesh within 48 hours. microscopic examination of the maggots revealed that they belonged to lucilia sericata (a dipterous fly). the incidence of myiasis in birds was also discussed.	1985	3833223
ultrastructural changes in the cuticle of the sheep blowfly, lucilia, induced by certain insecticides and biological inhibitors.	the ultrastructural effects on larval cuticle of lucilia cuprina of two inhibitors of chitin synthesis, diflubenzuron and polyoxin d and an inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase, aminopterin, are compared with those of the insecticide, cyromazine. diflubenzuron and polyoxin d both prevent the formation of a normal lamellate appearance in procuticle and interfere with deposition of epicuticle. aminopterin and cyromazine cause necrotic lesions in the cuticle which, in the case of cyromazine, are co ...	1985	3923653
ecological analysis of field trials conducted to assess the potential of sex-linked translocation strains for genetic control of the australian sheep blowfly, lucilia cuprina (wiedemann).	field trials were conducted with translocation/eye colour (te) strains of l. cuprina to measure the mating ability of the males under field conditions and assess their potential for suppressing sheep blowfly populations. rates of increase in l. cuprina were highest in spring (3.9-9.1 per generation), consistently low during summer (0.1-0.6 per generation) and somewhat higher during autumn (1.1-3.4 per generation). the te strains released had the potential to prevent population increases of this ...	1985	4091754
genetic analysis of field trials of sex-linked translocation strains for genetic control of the australian sheep blowfly lucilia cuprina (wiedemann).	the results of progeny tests of males and females captured during two field trials of sex-linked translocation strains for genetic control of l. cuprina are presented. males released as mature larvae survived to adulthood and mated with field females. however, the levels of genetic death introduced into the population were insufficient to suppress the native population. this was due partly to seasonal ineffectiveness of the release method, and partly to poor performance of the released males. on ...	1985	4091755
field trial of a compound chromosome strain for genetic control of the sheep blowfly lucilia cuprina.	in 1979-80 a field trial of a compound chromosome (cc) strain of the australian sheep blowfly lucilia cuprina was conducted in the isolated brindabella valley, n.s.w. new genetic material was introduced into the strain before release by inducing 104 new cc elements by irradiation of recently captured field strains, and combining the resulting strains. weekly releases, averaging 1.1 million larvae per week, were begun in november 1979 and continued to may 1980. field-inseminated females were trap ...	1985	24254109
