Ocorrência de Trichopria sp. (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) atacando pupas de Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann) Diptera: Calliphoridae) na granja

Abstract

An. Soc. Entomol. Brasil 29(1): 159-167 (2000) Trichopria sp. (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) attacking pupae of Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in a poultry facility ABSTRACT-This work was carried out in a poultry house (Granja Capuavinha), Monte Mor, State of São Paulo, from February 1991 to April 1992 with the purpose of studying the synanthropic flies and their parasitoids. The pupae were extrated from manure using a water-flotation method. Berlese-Tullgren's funnel was used to extract parasitoids and fly larvae. Each pupa was kept in a small transparent glass vial for 35 days until the emergence of the fly or parasitoid. After this period, the pupae that did not yield adult flies or parasitoids were dissected. The following species of fly were collected: Chrysomya putoria (Wiedeman), Muscina stabulans (Fallén), Musca domestica L., Fannia pusio (Stein). In addition several species of Sepsidae were also collected. The following species of parasitoids that emerged from fly pupae were collected: Spalangia gemina (Boucek), S. cameroni (Perkins), Muscidifurax raptoroides Kogan & Legner, Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani), Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) and Trichopria sp. (Diapriidae). Tachinaephagus zealandicus (Ashmead) (Encyrtidae) a larval pupal parasitoid also ocurred. This is the first report of Trichopria sp., a gregarious parasitoid, attacking pupae of C. putoria. About 13% of parasitoids did not eclode successfuly from the parasitoid pupae which may indicate a recent association between Trichopria sp. and C. putoria in Brazil. KEY WORDS: Insecta, parasitoids, blowflies. RESUMO -O levantamento de moscas sinantrópicas e seus parasitóides foi realizado de fevereiro de 1991 a abril de 1992 na granja Capuavinha Monte Mor, SP. A triagem do esterco foi realizada com funil de Berlese-Tullgren, método de flutuação em água e posterior dissecção de pupas que não originaram moscas, nem parasitóides. As espécies de moscas hospedeiras encontradas foram: Chrysomya putoria (Calliphoridae), Muscina stabulans, Musca domestica (Muscidae), Fannia pusio (Fanniidae) e moscas da família Sepsidae. Os parasitóides que atacaram as pupas hospedeiras foram: Spalangia, Muscidifurax, Pachycrepoideus, Nasonia (Pteromalidae) e Tachinaephagus zealandicus Recebido em 14/12/98. Aceito em 27/12/99.

Host Ranges of Six Solitary Filth Fly Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae, Chalcididae) from Florida, Eurasia, Morocco, and Brazil

“…In particular, there have been numerous surveys of native parasitoids outside the United States to identify dominant or promising local parasitoids for ßy biological control. Such surveys of house ßy and stable ßy parasitoids have been conducted recently in Denmark (Skovgard and Jespersen 1999, 2000, Skovgard and Steenberg 2002, Hungary (Hogsette et al 2001), Israel (Havron and Margalit 1991), South Korea (Rueda et al 1997), Malaysia (Sulaiman et al 1990), India (Srinivasan and Balakrishnan 1989), China (Guo et al 1997), Brazil (Ferreira de Almeida and Pires do Prado 1999, Monteiro and Pires do Prado 2000), Canada (Floate et al 1999, McKay andGalloway 1999), and elsewhere. The guild of parasitoids found in different geographic regions is remarkably similar and generally includes Muscidifurax raptor, Spalangia endius, S. nigroaenea, and S. cameroni.…”

Epidemiological determinants of Chrysomya (Diptera: calliphoridae) infestation in layer farms of Minas Gerais, Brazil

“…The regions of Juiz de Fora, Varginha and Viçosa were removed from the model due to nonverification of the presence of these flies in poultry farms of these regions. The regional of Unaí was removed due to occurrence of perfect success of the model, which indicates that in this region every PRADO (2000), also conducted studies in laying farms in the state of São Paulo and verified the presence of C. putoria. BORGES (2006), in a study conducted in a poultry farm located in Minas Gerais, observed that C. putoria was the most common specie of synanthropic fly.…”

“…Flies belonging to the genus Chrysomya (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830) are important diptera for human and other animal health, since they have potential to carrier several pathogens (YANG, et al 2019). The species Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794), known as 'oriental latrine blowfly' and Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830), also known as 'african latrine blowfly', have been reported in environments associated with poultry production in Brazil (MONTEIRO; PRADO, 2000;LOPES et al, 2007).…”

First list of parasitoids in flies of medical, veterinary, and forensic importance in Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil

“…The high abundance and frequency of T. zealandicus, plus its ability to infest important fly species, such as M. domestica (Legner, 1967), Cochliomyia hominivorax Coquerel, 1858 (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Silveira et al, 1989), Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) (Costa, 1989), Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Monteiro and Prado, 2000), Sarconesia chlorogaster Wiedemann, 1830 (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Lecheta and Luz, 2015) and Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Moretti and Ribeiro, 2006), make this species a potential biological control agent of these dipterans in Southern Brazil.…”
