“…at a zoo in Malaysia (Spradbery and Vanniasingham 1980). Lucilia sericata is found in Asia, North America, and Europe (James 1947;Picard and Wells 2010), and it has been reported to feed on wounds of sheep, cats, a dog, and a horse in Israel (Schnur et al 2009). Blowflies, such as Chrysomya megacephala, were the first and most abundant insects arriving at Macaca fascicularis, Oryctolagus cuniculus, and Rattus norvegicus carcasses in a forest in Peninsular Malaysia (Azwandi et al 2013).…”

Mammal diversity assessments based on DNA derived from invertebrates have been suggested as alternatives to assessments based on traditional methods; however, no study has field-tested both approaches simultaneously. In Peninsular Malaysia, we calibrated the performance of mammal DNA derived from blowflies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) against traditional methods used to detect species. We first compared five methods (cage trapping, mist netting, hair trapping, scat collection, and blowfly-derived DNA) in a forest reserve with no recent reports of megafauna. Blowflyderived DNA and mist netting detected the joint highest number of species (n = 6). Only one species was detected by multiple methods. Compared to the other methods, blowfly-derived DNA detected both volant and non-volant species. In another forest reserve, rich in megafauna, we calibrated blowfly-derived DNA against camera traps. Blowfly-derived DNA detected more species (n = 11) than camera traps (n = 9), with only one species detected by both methods. The rarefaction curve indicated that blowfly-derived DNA would continue to detect more species with greater sampling effort. With further calibration, blowfly-derived DNA may join the list of traditional field methods. Areas for further investigation include blowfly feeding and dispersal biology, primer biases, and the assembly of a comprehensive and taxonomically-consistent DNA barcode reference library.

“…O ciclo de vida dessa espécie revela que as moscas adultas colocam de 200 a 300 ovos nas bordas das feridas, e estas, uma vez infectadas, liberam um odor característico que estimulam outras moscas a ovipor (ROSSI et al, 2002;OLEA et al, 2014), aumentando, por sua vez, o número de larvas em cada lesão. Outros trabalhos também relataram um grande número de animais com diagnóstico de miíases (SCHNUR et al, 2009).…”

RESUMOMiíases são enfermidades parasitárias provocadas pela infestação de larvas de moscas que se alimentam de tecido vivo ou morto de humanos e animais. Essas infestações podem ocorrer em diversas áreas do corpo, constituindo-se um sério problema sanitário e econômico. As larvas da mosca Cochliomyia hominivorax são os parasitos mais relacionados com essa doença, podendo ser encontradas com grande frequência no Brasil. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi realizar um levantamento epidemiológico da casuística de cães com miíases atendidos no Hospital Veterinário da Universidade Federal do Piauí (HVU/UFPI), no período de 2015 a 2017. Este levantamento foi obtido por meio das fichas de atendimento clínico arquivadas no HVU/UFPI de 175 cães com diagnóstico da doença. Foram obtidos dados quanto ao sexo, idade, raça e localização das miíases. Os resultados apontaram que cães machos apresentaram uma maior prevalência dessa enfermidade, representando 65.7% dos casos atendidos. A maioria dos animais comprometidos eram adultos (46.9% dos casos), sendo que os cães sem raça definida (SRD) foram os mais acometidos, com 58.9%, seguidos da raça Pastor Alemão (17.2%) e a cavidade auditiva (25.7%) ficou entre as regiões anatômicas mais afetadas pelos parasitos. Conclui-se que a casuística de cães com miíases atendidos no HVU/UFPI foi relativamente alta durante o período do estudo, sendo importante que os tutores de cães sejam orientados quanto às medidas de prevenção e controle dessa parasitose em seus animais.

ÖZETKedilerde myiasis görülmesi nadirdir. Erken aşamada tedavi edilmezse dipteran larvaların yoğun enfestasyonu ölüme yol açabilir. Yeni doğan üç kedi yavrusunda aural, anal ve umbilikal myiasis tespit edildi. Dipteran larvalar toplandı, %70'lik alkolde tespit edildi ve %10'luk KOH'de birkaç gün şeffaflandırıldı. Daha sonra larvalar steromikroskop altında diseke edildi, preparatlar hazırlandı ve daha sonra stigma ve cephaloskeleton yapılarına göre üçüncü dönem black blowfly, Phormia regina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) olarak teşhis edildi. Orijinal ölçüler ve şekiller sunuldu. Tedavi mekanik olarak larvaların uzaklaştırılmasını ve polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine kompleks ile bölgenin temizlenmesini kapsamaktadır. Türkiye'de kedilerde P. regina'nın varlığı ilk kez bildirilmektedir. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2014; 38: 71-5) Anahtar Sözcükler: Phormia regina, aural, anal ve umbilikal myiasis, kedi Geliş Tarihi: 11.07.2013Kabul Tarihi: 12.11.2013 ABSTRACTThe occurrence of feline myiasis is rare. Massive infestations of dipteran larvae can lead to death if not treated at an early stage. Auricular, anal and umbilical myiasis was detected in three neonatal kittens. The dipteran larvae were collected, fixed in 70% alcohol and clarified with 10% KOH for a few days. Later, larvae were dissected under the stereomicroscope, mounted on slides and then identified as the third instar of the black blowfly, Phormia regina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), according to their stigmatic and cephaloskeleton structures. Original measurements and figures are presented. Treatment included mechanical removal of larvae and cleansing of the area by applying polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex. The presence of P. regina in cats has been reported here for the first time in Turkey. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2014; 38: 71-5)
