“…In the screwworm breeding program, larval feeding is the most represented in operating costs (Mastrangelo, Bezerra, & Fernandes 2014). The inputs used to develop the screwworm larvae diet constitute a cost of USD$0.19-0.22 per 1,000 larvae produced.…”

The myiasis caused by Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) or screwworm is considered one of the most traumatic and relevant to the region due to its economic implications and its importance in public health. The purpose of this study was to compare the reproductive and developmental indexes of screwworm using citrated and freeze-dried bovine blood, spray-dried bovine blood (currently used by Panama-United States Commission for the Eradication and Prevention of Screwworm –acronym in spanish [Copeg]) and bovine citrated liquid blood. The use of freeze-dried arises through the premise that, due to its process of elaboration constitutes an alternative of better quality for the feeding of the screwworm in function of the integrity of sanguine proteins during its processing. For the comparison of the different diets, the following parameters were used: pH, total pupae weight, pupae size, total pupae volume, emergency percentage, oviposition percentage and hatching percentage. In the case of freeze-dried blood, it showed better mean (standard deviation) indexes of emergence, 83.42 (11.45), and 73.11 (15.97) (p = .01); and hatching, 89.70 (8.88), and 84.08 (8.29), (p = .004) compared to the diet based on spray-dried blood. By virtue of the above, freeze-dried blood proved to be a source of protein with potential to develop insect breeding programs.

“…Many authors report the influence of temperature on the development, abundance, richness and seasonality of muscoid dipterans, evidencing their importance of bionomy for forensic studies (Sousa & Linhares 1997;Paes et al 2001;Vianna et al 2004;Batista-da-Silva 2010;Neto et al 2011). In many researches in the area of medical and forensic entomology, freezing techniques were used to evaluate the bionomy of muscoid dipterans (Oliveira et al 2002;Cerigatto 2009;Mastrangelo et al 2014).…”

Abstract. Cooling and freezing experiments were carried out at Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz / RJ). Flies colonies were established from specimens collected at the campus using a baited trap, as described for the species: Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius), Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann), Musca domestica Linnaeus, Peckia ruficornis (Fabricius) and Peckia chrysostoma (Wiedemann). Prolonged exposures at lethal low temperatures can produce deleterious effects (including death) even if the insect does not freeze; during long-term exposure to low temperatures, the organisms may finally die from the exhaustion of energy reserves.Efeitos do resfriamento e congelamento no desenvolvimento de moscas de importância forenseResumo. Experimentos de resfriamento e congelamento foram realizados na Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz / RJ). Colônias de moscas foram estabelecidas a partir de espécimes coletados no campus usando uma armadilha com isca, conforme descrito para as espécies: Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius), Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann), Musca domestica Linnaeus, Peckia ruficornis (Fabricius) e Peckia chrysostoma (Wiedemann). Exposições prolongadas em baixas temperaturas podem produzir efeitos deletérios (incluindo morte) mesmo se o inseto não congelar; durante a exposição prolongada a baixas temperaturas, os organismos podem morrer pelo esgotamento das reservas de energia.
