Evaluation of larval density Cochliomyia macellaria F. (Diptera: Calliphoridae) for therapeutic use in the recovery of tegumentar injuries

“…Since 1990, there has been new interest on this biotherapy, mainly due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The success of clinical trials in wounds unhealed by conventional treatments, achieved by Sherman and Pechter (1988), Sherman et al (1995), Sherman (2003), and Turkmen et al (2010), attracted international attention and acceptance of LT in several countries (Marcondes 2006).…”

Evaluation of the influence of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin in the development of an Old World screwworm fly, Chrysomya putoria

“…Many wounds, such as those mentioned above, can be treated alternatively with the use of maggot therapy, also known as maggot debridement therapy, biotherapy, or biosurgery, which consists of applying live fly maggots (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to wounds that do not heal with the objective of removing the necrotic material and promot-ing new tissue growth. Its use and populari-zation have increased in many countries due to the great efficacy of the maggot in removing necrotic material and its safe and easy application ( Sherman et al 2000 ; Martini and Sherman 2003 ; Marcondes 2006 ; Dal-lavechia et al 2010, 2011). Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is easily obtained throughout the Brazilian territory, it is easy and cheap to rear, its maggots develop quickly, and its behavior and biology are compatible with use in maggot therapy ( Marcondes 2006 ; Oliveira-Costa 2011).…”

In maggot therapy, it is important to know how antibiotics used in conjunction with maggots act on the maggots because the antibiotics can influence the natural activities and survival of the maggots.…”

Evaluation of the Influence of the Antibiotic Ciprofloxacin in the Development of an Old World Screwworm Fly,Chrysomya putoria

“…Ciprofloxacin is a wide-spectrum therapeutic chemical used to treat pathologies caused by gram-positive and gram-negative sensitive microorganisms (DEF 2001;Korolkovas 2002;Martindale 2002) and is appropriate for the treatment of infections caused by pathogens sensitive to the drug, such as infections of the upper respiratory tract, ear, nose, throat, maxillofacial area, urinary and kidney tracts, gastrointestinal tract (including typhoid fever), bile duct, soft tissues and infected wounds, bones and joints, gynecological and obstetric infections, septicemia, meningitis, and peritonitis, and can be used to treat imminent risk of infection (prophylaxis) in patients with immune suppression (Quinoflox 2011) Many wounds, such as those mentioned above, can be treated alternatively with the use of maggot therapy, also known as maggot debridement therapy, biotherapy, or biosurgery, which consists of applying live fly maggots (Diptera: Calliphoridae) to wounds that do not heal with the objective of removing the necrotic material and promot-ing new tissue growth. Its use and popularization have increased in many countries due to the great efficacy of the maggot in removing necrotic material and its safe and easy application (Sherman et al 2000;Martini and Sherman 2003;Marcondes 2006;Dallavechia et al 2010Dallavechia et al , 2011.
