| assessment of cypermethrin and doramectin for controlling wohlfahrtiosis in crete. | the fleshfly, wohlfahrtia magnifica, became an animal health problem in crete, greece, during 1999, causing outbreaks of wohlfahrtiosis throughout the main livestock producing regions of the island. the aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of commercially available drugs in order to design control strategies against wohlfahrtiosis. the test substances were cypermethrin and doramectin sc. the test animals were randomly divided between three groups (30 in each): one treated with cyperme ... | 2003 | 14580803 |
| wohlfahrtiosis in sheep and the role of dicyclanil in its prevention. | wohlfahrtia magnifica is the main agent of traumatic myiasis in the southern palaearctic zone. it was recorded in outbreak situations in crete, greece, for the first time in 1999, causing widespread production losses and considerable concern in the livestock sectors. most commonly applied curative insecticides, organophosphates and pyrethroids, can kill larvae of w. magnifica, but they do not provide long-term protection from infestation or re-infestation, which would facilitate wound healing. t ... | 2005 | 15939538 |
| molecular genetic analysis of populations of wohlfahrt's wound myiasis fly, wohlfahrtia magnifica, in outbreak populations from greece and morocco. | wohlfahrt's wound myiasis fly, wohlfahrtia magnifica (schiner) (diptera: sarcophagidae), is the most important cause of traumatic myiasis in the southern palaearctic region. larval stages are obligate parasites and the wounds caused by infestations are very similar to those caused by old and new world screwworm flies. during the last decade, w. magnifica appears to have expanded its range to parts of northern and central morocco, and to crete, greece. specimens of w. magnifica were collected in ... | 2009 | 19335832 |
