  • BACKGROUND: Lucilia cuprina and L. sericata (family Calliphoridae) are globally significant ectoparasites of sheep. (bvsalud.org)
  • Unlike the model fly Drosophila melanogaster, where sex is determined by the number of X chromosomes, in the Australian sheep blow fly (Lucilia cuprina) sex is determined by a Y-linked male-determining gene (M). A different regulatory system appears to operate in the hairy maggot blow fly (Chrysomya rufifacies) where the maternal genotype determines sex. (ojp.gov)
  • Calliphoridae provide striking examples in support of the hypothesis that sex determination regulatory gene hierarchies evolve in the reverse order, with the gene at the top being the most recently added. (ojp.gov)

  • Current literature suggests that only one of these blowfly subspecies, L. cuprina dorsalis, is a primary parasite causing myiasis (flystrike) in sheep in Australia. (bvsalud.org)
  • The flies collected from an urban location in QLD were more closely related to L. sericata and represented the subspecies L. c. cuprina, whereas the flies collected from sheep farms in NSW, VIC and WA represented the subspecies L. c. dorsalis. (bvsalud.org)
  • The female flies lay their eggs on the sheep in damp, protected areas soiled with urine and faeces, mainly on the breech. (wikidoc.org)
  • One alternative prevention method is the SIT (Sterile Insect Technique) where a significant number of artificially reared sterilized (usually through irradiation) male flies are introduced. (wikidoc.org)
  • Another prevention method involves removing the environment most favourable to the flies. (wikidoc.org)
