the specificity of yolk protein uptake in cyclorrhaphan diptera is conserved through evolution.yolk proteins are transported from the hemolymph into the oocytes of insects during vitellogenesis by receptor-mediated endocytosis. since other hemolymph proteins, both native and foreign, are not accumulated in the oocyte, the process of uptake is selective for yolk proteins. peptide domains within the yolk proteins must therefore be involved in receptor recognition. with the long-term aim of identifying these domains and to open the possibility of understanding the molecular basis of receptor ...19921487828
many circadian oscillators regulate developmental and behavioural events in the flesh-fly, sarcophaga argyrostoma.in the flesh-fly, sarcophaga argyrostoma, the initiation of larval wandering, pupal eclosion, and the induction of pupal diapause by seasonal changes in night length, are all regulated by circadian oscillators. they differ, however, in several respects. the rhythm of larval wandering shows a free-running period (tau) of about 20 hr and a steady-state phase-relationship to the light cycle (psi) in which maximum activity occurs at dusk or in the night; that for pupal eclosion shows tau close to 24 ...19863677196
circadian control of larval growth rate in sarcophaga argyrostoma.larvae of the flesh fly, sarcophaga argyrostoma, were reared in a range of environmental light cycles with periods from 21 to 72 hr, and containing either 12, 14, or 16 hr of white light. the mean length of larval development varied cyclically with the period of the driving light cycle. protracted development occurred when the larvae were "driven" by light cycles containing a "short day" (12 hr of light) at periods close to their natural circadian frequency (about 24 hr) or multiples thereof. mo ...19724506794

overt and covert effects of endogenous and exogenous ecdysone in puparium formation of flies.mature larvae of sarcophaga argyrostoma fail to form puparia when kept in contact with water, but pupariate after having been subsequently exposed to dryness for 30 hr. they become increasingly more sensitive to injected ecdysone the longer the exposure to dry conditions. a second wet treatment halts the production of hormone that had occurred during the dry period, and reduces a sensitization to injected ecdysone during the intervening dry treatment. apparently, injected ecdysone had cumulative ...197016591860
preliminary studies of the influence of fluctuating temperatures on the development of various forensically relevant flies.development of larvae of different forensically important flies under constant low, medium and high temperatures as well as under daily fluctuating temperatures in a climatic chamber was investigated and compared. results suggest faster development under fluctuating temperatures for sarcophaga argyrostoma and lucilia illustris but slower development for calliphora vicina and calliphora vomitoria. fluctuating temperatures had a higher impact on larvae in feeding stages than in post-feeding stages ...201020382488
a modified trap for adult sampling of medically important flies (insecta: diptera).bait-trapping appears to be a generally useful method of studying fly populations. the aim of this study was to construct a new adult flytrap by some modifications in former versions and to evaluate its applicability in a subtropical zone in southern iran.201223378969
applicability of partial characterization of cytochrome oxidase i in identification of forensically important flies (diptera) from china and egypt.precise species identification of every insect sample collected from criminal scenes play an essential role in the accurate estimation of postmortem interval. the morphological similarity poses a great challenge for forensic entomologists. dna-based method can be used as a supplemental means of morphological method. in the present study, we demonstrate the applicability of the 304-bp cytochrome oxidase i gene fragment in molecular identification of forensically important diptera. we analyzed 75 ...201323661266
myiasis of the tracheostomy wound caused by sarcophaga (liopygia) argyrostoma (diptera: sarcophagidae): molecular identification based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase i gene.wound myiasis is the infestation of open wounds of mammalian hosts caused by larvae of various species of flies. this kind of myiasis can be a serious problem for immobilized patients with open wounds. here, we identify a dipteran larva found in the tracheostomy wound of a child affected by a severe spinal muscular atrophy. the collected larva was dissected and microscopically analyzed. dna was extracted from part of the larva and used for the molecular identification. a 487 bp fragment, includi ...201526336248
facultative myiasis of domestic cats by sarcophaga argyrostoma (diptera: sarcophagidae), calliphora vicina and lucilia sericata (diptera: calliphoridae) in northern italy.we describe five cases of myiasis of domestic cats, felis silvestris catus l. (carnivora: felidae), reported in 2016 in northern italy and caused by three diptera species: sarcophaga argyrostoma (robineau-desvoidy) (sarcophagidae), calliphora vicina robineau-desvoidy and lucilia sericata (meigen) (calliphoridae). three were cases of traumatic myiasis, one by s. argyrostoma and two by l. sericata, one was a case of auricular myiasis by c. vicina and one was a case of ophthalmomyiasis caused by an ...201728803354

external ophthalmomyiasis caused by a rare infesting larva, sarcophaga argyrostoma.purpose. external ophthalmomyiasis (eo) is caused by infesting larvae belonging to various species of flies. most documented cases result from sheep (oestrus ovis) and russian (rhinoestrus purpureus) botfly larvae, but we recently discovered a rare case of eo caused by flesh fly (sarcophaga argyrostoma) larvae. here, we report the case of a patient with eo who had been hospitalized and sedated for 1 week because of unrelated pneumonia. methods. case report. results. a total of 32 larvae were rem ...201324455366
muscle attachment site (mas) patterns for species determination in five species of sarcophaga (diptera: sarcophagidae).to further establish species determination using the muscle attachment site (mas) pattern method, third instar larvae of five forensically important species of sarcophaga meigen were investigated: sarcophaga argyrostoma (robineau-desvoidy), sarcophaga caerulescens zetterstedt, sarcophaga melanura meigen, sarcophaga albiceps meigen and sarcophaga similis meade. as in the previously investigated calliphoridae, patterns were found to be species specific. the main feature of the sarcophaga patterns ...201626391172
identification of forensically important sarcophagidae (diptera) based on partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase i and ii genes.entomological evidence is of great importance in forensic cases for postmortem interval calculation. the use of sarcophagidae (diptera) for postmortem interval estimation is limited because morphological determination is often hampered because of similar characteristics in the larval, pupal, and even adult stage. to make the species identification more accurate and reliable, dna-based identification is considered. in this study, we assessed the use of partial mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase i a ...201323629402
wound myiasis caused by sarcophaga (liopygia) argyrostoma (robineau-desvoidy) (diptera: sarcophagidae): additional evidences of the morphological identification dilemma and molecular investigation.in mediterranean countries, sarcophaga (liopygia) crassipalpis, sarcophaga (l.) argyrostoma, and sarcophaga (l.) cultellata share the same ecological niche and can be responsible of myiasis. in this study, the main morphological characters of a larva found in a hospitalized woman were described and illustrated by light and sem microscopy and the features discussed. then, a fragment within the mitochondrial encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit i (coxi) gene of ~735 bp was amplified and sequenced. ...201728251174
flesh flies (diptera: sarcophagidae) colonising large carcasses in central europe.sarcophagidae are an important element of carrion insect community. unfortunately, results on larval and adult sarcophagidae from forensic carrion studies are virtually absent mostly due to the taxonomic problems with species identification of females and larvae. the impact of this taxon on decomposition of large carrion has not been reliably evaluated. during several pig carcass studies in poland, large body of data on adult and larval sarcophagidae was collected. we determined (1) assemblages ...201525876045
micromorphology of immature stages of sarcophaga (liopygia) cultellata pandellé, 1896 (diptera: sarcophagidae), a forensically important fly.the sarcophagidae are one of the most numerous groups of diptera in the world, consisting of many species of forensic interest, whose immature stages are useful in the estimation of postmortem interval. the immature stages of some species of forensic importance still remain unknown or undescribed, like in the case of sarcophaga (liopygia) cultellata pandellé, 1986, a species restricted to the iberian peninsula, south of france and north of italy, which shares a ecological niche with species of t ...201525429757
