“…Both compounds were revealed in several plant species known by their insecticidal/acaricidal activity. 2‐[4‐Cyclohexylbutanoylamino]‐3‐chloro‐1,4‐naphthoquinone was detected in extracted essential oil with ethanol from Calotropis procera (Alhazmi et al, 2018), Azadirachta indica (Babatunde et al, 2019), and Hypericum perforatum leaves (Ebadollahi et al, 2019) that showed potency against Wohlfahrtia magnifica larvae (Carnevali et al, 2019). The main constituent in the essential oils of Hertia cheirifolia leaves, with a potent acaricidal activity against Tetranychus urticae (Rincón et al, 2019), was found to be DMEHE (33.71%) (Segueni et al, 2017).…”

To select potential plant‐based insecticides, Tecoma stans (Bignoniaceae) leaf extract was screened for its larvicidal and delayed effects against a medically important mosquito species Culex pipiens L. (Diptera: Culicidae). First, gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was conducted on T. stans extract, collected in ethanol for its chemical characterization and detection of active constituents. Second, insecticidal bioassays were made with several concentrations on earlier fourth instar larvae (L4) of Cx. pipiens for 24 h as recommended by WHO, in order to determine the lethality parameters of the tested extract. For that, two concentrations (LC30 and LC50) were applied on L4 for 24 h, and emerged adults were observed for their reproductive performance success like fecundity, percentage of hatching (fertility), body and gonads' volume. The biochemical composition of whole bodies of adults was investigated. Also, the specific activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and glutathion S‐transferase (GST), biomarkers of neurotoxicity and detoxification, respectively, were also determined in L4 at different time intervals. Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical analysis (GC–MS) of the extract unveiled nine phytoconstituents with 2‐[4‐cyclohexylbutanoylamino]‐3‐chloro‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (36.24%) and 1,2‐Benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono(2‐ethylhexyl) ester (22.65%) as major components. The early L4 of Cx. pipiens were exposed to LC30 and LC50, and after 24 h, surviving individuals have been further reared until adult emergence. All over, T. stans leaves ethanolic extract impairs adults reproductive traits; it adversely affected gonad's size, fecundity and fertility, which negatively affected the survival of their offspring. Lipids contents were found to increase in both male and female adults. T. stans ethanolic extract increased GST activity and slightly inhibited AChE activity in L4. In conclusion, the ethanolic extract of T. stans could be a potential candidate used as a sustainable botanical insecticide for controlling mosquito.

“…A case of infestation in the preputial region of a dog without any apparent previous lesion was reported in Sicily (Gaglio et al 2011). For W. magnifica, the preputial region as a site of infestation has been frequently reported in sheep (Farkas et al 1997;Hall and Farkas 2000;Giangaspero et al 2011Giangaspero et al , 2014Bonacci et al 2017;Carnevali et al 2019). In dogs, myiasis caused by W. magnifica has been reported not only in Italy but also in other countries such as Greece (Orfanou et al 2011), Hungary (Farkas et al 2009), Turkey (Şaki 2004;Ütük 2006;Dik et al 2012;Kilinç et al 2013;Gökpinar and Karsli 2018), Iran (Rafinejad et al 2014;Jamshidi 2016;Moshaverinia and Kazemi Mehrjerdi 2016), Morocco (Farkas et al 2009), Israel (Schnur et al 2009), and Russia (Portchinsky 1916).…”

“…In Italy the species has been reported in dogs as an agent of auricular, cutaneous and urogenital myiasis (Table 1). The predisposing conditions for cutaneous myiasis in dogs caused by W. magnifica include trauma caused by barbed wire (Bonacci et al 2017), bites (Carnevali et al 2019), or lesions caused by surgery (Fois et al 2012), and skin disease (Bonacci et al 2013). A case of infestation in the preputial region of a dog without any apparent previous lesion was reported in Sicily (Gaglio et al 2011).…”

The report describes a case of urogenital myiasis in a puppy, Canis lupus familiaris (Carnivora: Canidae) caused by Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) in Calabria, southern Italy. This species is an obligatory agent of myiasis in human and other warm-blooded vertebrates. The puppy was healthy and was not living near farm animals, usual hosts of this flesh fly. An overview of cases of human and animal myiasis caused by W. magnifica in Italy and of data and specimens documented in entomology museum collections is also reported.
