“…Various feeding methods were used in these experiments, including mouse carcasses, fish (Da Silva et al . 2008), mammalian muscle, minced meat (Giao & Godoy 2007), or artificial feeding methods including components such as dried yeast powder, whole milk powder and wheat germ (Al‐Hasnawi 2020; Calabrese & Stoffolano 1974). Despite the variety of the approaches used to diversify the methods of feeding these insects, such as using cattle liver (Cardoso et al .…”

Chrysomya saffranea is an insect that is important in criminal forensics as it plays a large role in decomposition on human cadavers. In this paper, the different developmental stages of C. saffranea flies were studied in the laboratory on different food, such as meat, liver, fat tissue and mixed food, to test whether these media affect the development of their larvae and have an impact on the calculation of the post‐mortem interval. Our results indicated a significant growth enhancement among flies that fed on the mixed food (pure fat, meat and liver minced in equal proportions) compared with those that fed on minced (pure fat tissues, pure meat of and minced liver) of buffalo. The present results also confirmed the impact of food on the growth of C. saffranea, as well as the post‐mortem interval PMI.

“…C. putoria and L. sericata are flies with larvae that develop very quickly. At temperatures from 27 to 30°C and 70 to 80% RH, reared on protein diets (natural and artificial), they take on average 1 d from egg laying to larval hatching, a mean of 5 ( C. putoria ) and 5.5 d ( L. sericata ) to develop to the third-stage larvae, and about 8 ( C. putoria ) and 7.5 d ( L. sericata ) to reach the adult phase ( Silva et al 2008 , Ferraz et al 2012 ). Because they have biological and behavioral similarity with L. sericata and because they are abundant in the urban centers in some countries, especially in Brazil, C. putoria can be considered as a promising species for use in biotherapy.…”

Large-scale, quality-controlled laboratory production of fly larvae is needed for biotherapy. The objective of this study was to assess the action of glutaraldehyde on the sterilization of Chrysomya putoria eggs by applying pharmaceutical sterility tests. Egg masses with 0.600 g were divided into three parts of 0.200 g, the eggs were separated using sterile distilled water, and the suspensions obtained were mixed with activated 2% glutaraldehyde solution. After 15-min contact, the suspensions were filtered through Whatman filter paper, and the glutaraldehyde residue obtained in the filtrate was neutralized by rinsing with Tryptone Soy Broth. The treated eggs were placed aseptically on Petri dishes containing gauze moistened with sterile saline solution. About 10% of the sterilized mass was transferred to test tubes containing Tryptone Soy Broth and Fluid Thioglycollate Broth. The tubes were incubated, respectively, at 22.5 and 35.0°C for 14 d to verify egg mass sterility. The plates containing the rest of the eggs (90%) were sealed with plastic film and kept in a climatized chamber at 30°C/d, 28°C per night, 60 ± 10% relative humidity, and under a 12-h light period to assess insect viability and survival. Each experiment was carried out in triplicate using a biological class II safety cabinet. No change in color or turgidity was observed with the agent tested, proving the sterility of the product and that there was no trace of contamination. Forty larvae (in three replications) in the periods of 12, 24, and 48 h after sterilization, when transferred to diet, produced larvae, pupae, and total viability similar to the control (larvae without sterilization). However, for the 72- h treatment, larvae and total viability were significantly lower than for the other treatments. There was no significant difference for the pupal stage. The product tested was shown to be efficacious for use as a sterilizer of C. putoria eggs for all the parameters assessed.

“…However, this diet not only increases breeding costs but is also time-consuming for researchers, since it involves cutting the beef into cubes prior to its use. Other substrates for breeding C. megacephala have been tested, such as horse meat, fish (sardine), bovine liver, chicken liver, chicken meat, wet dog food, among others (Queiroz & milward-de-azevedo 1991;riBeiro & milward-de-azevedo 1997;BarBosa et al 2004;silva et al 2008;sousa et al 2010sousa et al , Ferraz et al 2011.…”

Chicken gizzard was tested as an alternative to beef diet for creating Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) to reduce costs and optimize the time of diet preparation and maintenance of the colony diet. Forty newly hatched larvae were placed in 100 grams of diet: gizzard and meat (control). The experiment was performed in triplicate. The mass of mature larvae was recorded in semi-analytical balance and separate batch of five. After emergence, three replicates of 10 pairs of adults were formed. The post-embryonic development was evaluated by Tukey’s test at a 5% level of significance and longevity was adjusted Weibull regression. The mass of mature larvae showed no significant difference. The larval stage of flies reared in meat was longer. Pupae and newly emerged adults showed no significant differences as a function of diet. The increased mortality rate after after 22 days in both experimental diets. Greater longevity was achieved with diet gizzard, which was more efficient than the meat on the biological parameters studied. Estudo Comparativo entre a Moela de Frango e Carne Bovina como Dietas e suas Influências sobre o Desenvolvimento Pós-Embrionário e Longevidade de Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Resumo. Moela de Frango foi testada como dieta alternativa à carne para criação de Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) visando reduzir custos e otimizar o tempo de preparação da dieta e manutenção da colônia. Quarenta larvas recém eclodidas foram colocadas em 100 gramas de dieta: moela e carne (controle). O experimento foi realizado em triplicata. A massa das lavas maduras foi registrada em balança semi-analítica e separada em lotes de cinco. Após a emergência, foram formadas três repetições de 10 pares de insetos adultos. O Desenvolvimento pós-embrionário foi avaliado pelo teste Tukey com nível a 5% de significância e a longevidade foi ajustada por regressão Weibull. A massa das lavas maduras não apresentou diferença significativa. A fase larval de moscas criadas em carne foi mais longa. Pupa e adultos recém-emergidos não apresentaram diferenças significativas em função da dieta. A mortalidade aumentou após 22 dias de experimento em ambas as dietas. Uma maior longevidade foi conseguida com a dieta moela, que se mostrou mais eficiente do que a carne sobre os parâmetros biológicos estudados.
