| laboratory rearing of wohlfahrtia nuba wiedemann (diptera-sarcophagidae) in egypt. | a colony of wohlfahrtia nuba wiedemann was set up in the laboratory starting from flies collected from dier el anba shounouda from sohag city. procedures for successful establishment of a colony and laboratory maintenance of this fly are described. duration of the whole larval and pupal stage under insectary and controlled conditions was studied. effect of controlled temperatures 17, 27 and 32 degrees c on the duration of the three larval instars, the moulting process and mortality rate were als ... | 1992 | 1578176 |
| 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 ... | 2013 | 23629402 |
| myiasis in sheep farms in riyadh region, saudi arabia. | during a survey for myiasis in riyadh region, 3712 sheep were examined. 73 animals (2%) were infested with different dipterous larvae. out of the 115 larvae recovered, 100 larvae (87%) were chrysomya bezziana, 10 (8.7%) were c. albiceps, and 5 (4.3%) were wohlfahrtia nuba. the prevalence rate of larval myiasis among young sheep was 60%, and 40% among adults. the myiasis incidences were highest during mar-may (60%) and sept-nov (31.5%) where temperature and r.h. are optimum. in the dry hot season ... | 2004 | 15125523 |
| effect of temperature on the developmental stages of wohlfahrtia nuba (diptera:sarcophagidae). | total developmental time of flesh flies wohlfahrtia nuba (wiedemann) from first larval stage to adult emergence was 34.7, 23.5, 18.7, 13.4 and 13.6 days when reared at 21, 25, 29, 33 and 37 degrees c, respectively. there were no significant differences between both sexes (p > 0.05). the overall mean of the larval duration periods was shorter (p < 0.05) than pupal duration periods. estimates of the lower developmental threshold temperatures (tl) were 12.8, 14.0 and 13.6 degrees c and the thermal ... | 1993 | 8308345 |
| [coii "long fragment" reliability in characterisation and classification of forensically important flies]. | molecular identification of collected flies is important in forensic entomological analysis guided with accurate evaluation of the chosen genetic marker. the selected mitochondrial dna segments can be used to properly identify species. the aim of the present study was to determine the reliability of the 635-bp-long cytochrome oxidase ii gene (coii) in identification of forensically important flies. | 2017 | 28144930 |
