attention. Rural or underresourced settings (ie, those with limited basic needs/healthcare …

Maggot debridement therapy (MDT) has a long and well-documented history. Once a
popular wound care treatment, especially prior to the discovery of antibiotics, modern …

Hybrids of Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina have been shown to exist in previous studies
using molecular methods, but no study has shown explicitly that these hybrids can be …

Complementary nuclear (28S rRNA) and mitochondrial (COI) genes were sequenced from
blowflies that phenotypically resembled Lucilia cuprina (W.), Lucilia sericata (Meigen) or …

The calliphorid fly, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann), is known to cause serious malign myiasis
in animals, whereas its sibling species Lucilia sericata (Meigen) is commonly a carrion …

The subfamily Luciliinae is diverse and geographically widespread. Its four currently
recognised genera (Dyscritomyia Grimshaw, 1901, Hemipyrellia Townsend, 1918 …

There are important but inconsistent differences in breeding site preference between the
blow flies Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826) and L. cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830)(Diptera …

Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826) and Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann, 1830)(Diptera:
Calliphoridae: Luciliinae) have medical, veterinary and forensic importance. Knowing their …

This chapter provides guidance on the collection and selection of species suitable for
maggot therapy. All life stages are suitable for collection, except pupae that are generally …
