| hospital infestation by the cluster fly, pollenia rudis sensu stricto fabricius 1794 (diptera: calliphoridae), and its possible role in transmission of bacterial pathogens in germany. | the potential of the cluster fly, pollenia rudis sensu stricto, to transmit bacterial pathogens was investigated during a mass infestation that took place in a german hospital. cluster flies were individually examined for mesophilic bacteria carried on the exoskeleton. bacterial growth could only be detected by using the enrichment culture technique to increase sensitivity, but not by direct intoculation of fly samples to agar plates. all 50 cluster fly samples that were tested carried opportuni ... | 2001 | 11279815 |
| a comparison of blow fly (diptera: calliphoridae) and beetle (coleoptera) activity on refrigerated only versus frozen-thawed pig carcasses in indiana. | to have large numbers of replicates in forensic entomology research, it is often necessary to freeze carcasses and thaw them before use in experiments. research on the effects of freezing on decomposition is minimal in the literature and the effect that it has on insect (e.g., blow fly, beetle) activity is virtually unknown. the objective of this study was to compare the differences in insect activity occurring on refrigerated only versus frozen-thawed pig carcasses, and to characterize the asso ... | 2011 | 22238884 |
| the blowflies of the madeira archipelago: species diversity, distribution and identification (diptera, calliphoridaes. l.). | knowledge on the taxonomic diversity and distribution of blowflies from the madeira archipelago is updated. new and interesting findings are reported for poorly studied islands and islets of this archipelago, together with a brief analysis of the diversity of macaronesian calliphoridae s. l. seven blowfly species were collected during this study, including the first records of calliphora vicina robineau-desvoidy, 1830, chrysomya albiceps (wiedemann, 1819), lucilia sericata (meigen, 1826), pollen ... | 2016 | 27917052 |
| a new species of pollenia robineau-desvoidy, 1830 from jordan (diptera: calliphoridae: polleniinae). | a new species, pollenia bartaki sp. nov., assigned to the pollenia rudis species-group in pollenia robineau-desvoidy, 1830, is described on the basis of a single male specimen captured in jordan. its strongly curved surstylus is unique in the genus. the nominal species pollenia aurata séguy, 1934 and p. bazini séguy, 1934 are formally transferred to the genus xanthotryxus aldrich, 1930, comb. nov. | 2016 | 27395896 |
| evaluation of bait traps as a means to predict initial blow fly (diptera: calliphoridae) communities associated with decomposing swine remains in new jersey, usa. | information about blow fly (diptera: calliphoridae) species distributions can be valuable for criminal investigations, with regards to determining movement of remains from one location to another and time of colonization estimates, making these data extremely useful. past work has been conducted on initial species community structure across new jersey, usa using traps baited with beef liver; however, if these same species frequent vertebrate carrion remains unclear. in order to evaluate these da ... | 2017 | 28710939 |
| attractant for vinegar fly, drosophila busckii, and cluster fly, pollenia rudis (diptera: drosophilidae et calliphoridae). | a field test carried out in an industrial greenhouse in lithuania revealed the attractiveness of synthetic methyl salicylate (mesa) to two dipteran species: the vinegar fly, drosophila busckii (drosophilidae), and the cluster fly, pollenia rudis (calliphoridae). the attractant for the former fly species was especially effective, as sticky traps containing 0.25 ml of mesa captured (814 +/- 55) d. busckii flies/trap on average compared to (12 +/- 4) flies/trap in control traps. the mean capture of ... | 2016 | 19526723 |
| new record of cluster fly pollenia rudis (fabricius) with distribution of all known blow flies (diptera: calliphoridae) of saudi arabia. | during a survey of dipterous flies from riyadh province, a newly recorded of the cluster fly pollenia rudis (fabricius) (diptera: calliphoridae) were collected from saudi arabia for the first time. a total of 2 males and 3 females were collected from wadi haniffa, riyadh city during the period from february to march 1999 using an aerial net. data on the morphology, veterinary importance, biology and geographical distribution are presented. blow-flies lift up to 17 taxa known from the country. a ... | 2003 | 12739796 |
