“…The blowfly Sarconesiopsis magellanica (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is of medical interest as it is a potential mechanical vector of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and helminths [ 1 – 3 ]. Its larvae could produce facultative myiasis without affecting live tissue due to its feeding habits as a necrophagous species, thereby making them useful in larval therapy (LT).…”

We evaluated extracts taken from S. magellanica third instar larvae fat body and haemolymph using a diabetic rabbit model and compared this to the effect obtained with the same substances taken from Lucilia sericata larvae. Alloxan (a toxic glucose analogue) was used to induce experimental diabetes in twelve rabbits. Dorsal wounds were made in each animal and they were infected with Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They were then treated with haemolymph and lyophilized extracts taken from the selected blowflies' larvae fat bodies. Each wound was then evaluated by using rating scales and histological analysis. More favourable scores were recorded on the PUSH and WBS scales for the wounds treated with fat body derived from the larvae of both species compared to that obtained with haemolymph; however, wounds treated with the substances taken from S. magellanica had better evolution. Histological analysis revealed that treatment led to tissue proliferation and more effective neovascularisation in less time with both species' fat body extracts compared to treatment with just haemolymph. The results suggest the effectiveness of the substances evaluated and validate them in the animal model being used here as topical agents in treating chronic wounds.

“… Baumgartner & Greenberg (1985) stated that C. macellaria was presumably the most common blowfly in the neotropical region before the arrival of exotic Chrysomya spp. They referred to this species as premontane under 2,450 m in the central Andes of Peru, similar to Colombia, where it is spread across its five natural regions in forested, rural and urban areas ( Amat, 2009 ). Velásquez et al.…”

“…In Venezuela, it was reported in the Tepuis, Mérida cordillera, and the coastal range at an elevation of 1,900–2,700 m ( Velásquez et al, 2017 ). It was recorded in Colombia in the central and the eastern ridge at an elevation of 1,900 to 2,592 m ( Amat, 2009 ; Wolff & Kosmann, 2016 ). Asynanthropic in the surrounding montane areas of Bogotá, Colombia ( Pinilla-Beltran, Segura & Bello, 2012 ).…”

Background Blow flies are a family of dipterans of medical, veterinary and sanitary importance. We aim to predict the current geographical distribution of six neotropical blowfly species with different altitudinal ranges of distribution (high, medium, and lowlands) and degree of synanthropy (eusynanthropic, hemisynanthropic and asynanthropic) based on their existing fundamental niche (EA) in Northwestern South America. Methods Geographical records were compiled based on data from museum specimens and literature. The accessible area hypothesis (M) was calculated based on three criteria: (1) Altitudinal range, (2) Synanthropy values deducted based on the Human Influence Index (HII) raster dataset, and (3). The mean dispersal capability of flies. The modeling was performed using the Maxent entropy modeling software. The selection of parameters was made with the R Program ENMeval package. Results The models were assessed using the area under the operator-partial receiver curve (ROCp). The high statistical performance was evidenced in every modeling prediction. The modeling allowed identifying possible taxonomic inaccuracies and the lack of exhaustive collection in the field, especially for lowlands species. Geographical distribution predicted by the modeling and empirical data was remarkably coherent in montane species. Discussion The data obtained evidence that montane elevational ranges affect the performance of the distribution models. These models will allow a more precise predicting of medium and high elevation blow flies than lowlands species. Montane species modeling will accurately predict the fly occurrence to use such biological information for medical, legal, veterinary, and conservation purposes.

“…Guimarães et al [32] documented that approximately three decades ago this species was introduced to America through Brazil and Costa Rica and then it established its territory throughout the base of eastern Andes in Venezuela, along Brazil, Colombia, Uruguay and mid Bolivia and Peru, eastern Paraguay, northern Argentina and Ecuador [12,33,36]. It is distributed generally between 340 and 2,800 meters of elevation, between plains and the Andean region [37]. In Ecuador, it has been reported in Galapagos, Loja, Orellana, and Pichincha [23].…”
