“…Probably, this phenomenon will be common in myiasis-producing flies: similar results have been obtained on Australian sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (Emmens & Murray 1982), in new world screwworm Cochliomyia hominivorax (De Vaney et al 1973) and in palearctic screwworm fly Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Ruíz-Martínez & VillaReal 1995).…”

The microflora associated to furuncular lesions, larvae and pupae of Dermatobia hominis, as well as the relationships between parasite, host and microflora associated, as a comprehensive microsystem, has been studied. One hundred and two furuncular myiasis due to D. hominis larvae in several breeds of cattle were studied and the following bacterial species were significant: Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, S. warneri, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. Closely related, the microflora associated to 141 samples from first, second, third instar larva and both external surface and larval cavities has been studied. The representative associated microflora to the larvae were: S. aureus, B. subtilis, S. hycus and Moraxella phenylpiruvica, Moerella wisconsiensis, Proteus mirabilis and P. vulgaris, M. phenylpiruvica, M. wisconsiensis, P. mirabilis and P. rettgeri were the representative microflora associated to 64 pupae of D. hominis.

“…and S. liquefaciens. Other workers have reported the attractive quality of only P. rettgeri (DeVaney et al 1973, Eddy et al 1975, Hammack et al 1987. These authors found Providencia rettgeri (reported as Proteus rettgeri) cultures to be attractive in olfactometer tests (Providencia rettgeri and Proteus rettgeri are considered homotypic synonyms and share the same type strain; Skerman et al 1980).…”

“…We reported results from eight species of bacteria isolated only from the infested animal wounds including new results from three species (E. cloacae, E. sakazakii, and K. oxytoca), which was not reported by earlier authors. Sometimes, some of the previous workers tested bacteria from combined sources making it difÞcult to interpret some of the results (DeVaney et al 1973). Eddy et al (1975) also tested Proteus morganii and 12 Bacillus spp., which showed varying degrees of attractiveness and oviposition.…”

“…from secondary screwworm, Cochliomyia macellaria (F.), and showed that the development of larvae does not depend on bacteria and that some bacterial isolates negatively impact larval development. The study of the bacterial association with screwworm dates back to early seventies when DeVaney et al (1973) reported olfactometer tests with bacteria-inoculated bovine blood showing attractancy of this material to screwworm adults. Later, Eddy et al (1975) showed that blood inoculated and incubated with bacterium Proteus rettgeri attracted more adult screwworms than did three other Proteus species.…”

“…Infested wounds appear to release attractive odors that act as host-Þnding cues. Also, the woundÕs chemicals appear to play a role in stimulating oviposition (DeVaney et al 1970(DeVaney et al , 1973Eddy et al 1975;Bromel et al 1983;Hammack and Holt 1983;Hammack et al 1987;Hammack 1991). Gravid females are also attracted by odors from decomposing meat and liver (Bishopp 1937) and spent artiÞcial diet from larval rearing (Adams et al1979).…”

Responses of Fertile and Sterile Screwworm (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Flies to Bovine Blood Inoculated with Bacteria Originating from Screwworm-Infested Animal Wounds

A simple bioassay system was developed to study locomotory and ovipositional responses of screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), flies to bovine blood inoculated with eight species of coliform bacteria that were isolated from screwworm-infested animal wounds. When exposed to odors from bacteria-inoculated blood which was incubated for 72 h at 37 degrees C, approximately 50% of 7- and 10-d-old gravid females landed on the blood by the end of 15 min test exposure. Only 17% of 7-d-old reproductively sterile females (from irradiated pupae) with previtellogenic ovaries and 2% of 4-d-old vitellogenic females responded to the same treatment. Females generally reacted in greatest numbers to bacteria-inoculated blood incubated for 72 h, followed by 48 h, then 24 and 96 h. Males of all ages tested were unresponsive. Although oviposition occurred in tests with gravid females lasting for 1 h, with both inoculated blood and an uninoculated control, the inoculated sample was significantly better than the control at 48, 72, and 96 h incubation duration. Our results are consistent with the conclusion that the inoculated blood, when incubated for 48-72 h, gives off volatile chemicals which attract gravid females and contains an oviposition stimulant that acts following contact and feeding. The volatiles, once isolated and identified, may be useful for sampling gravid females in the field as well as improving the oviposition system in the mass-production facility of the screwworm eradication program.
