“…The Gambian improved household latrines were a source of C. albiceps , particularly in the rainy season, when production peaked at an average of around 500 flies per latrine in 24 h in September 2003. Chrysomya albiceps is a large green hemisynathropic fly, with an almost cosmopolitan distribution (Verves 2004). In The Gambia adult C. albiceps are associated with latrines, uncooked meat and sweet fruits and can be seen in enormous numbers in markets around meat stalls and where they can access the skins, stones or flesh of ripe fruit.…”

Summaryobjectives To assess whether the trachoma vector Musca sorbens was breeding in household latrines in a trachoma-endemic part of The Gambia.methods Longitudinal study of flies emerging from 16 sentinel household latrines selected at random from a list of all latrines present in four Gambian villages. Latrines were surveyed and fly traps were set over the drop hole for 24 h once per month for a year.results All the sentinel latrines were of the 'Gambian improved household latrine' design, which has a cement slab but is not ventilated or fly-proofed. The latrines were all in regular use by a family, mean number of users per latrine 14. conclusions Gambian improved household pit latrines cannot be considered a source of the trachoma vector M. sorbens, and the promotion of pit latrines as a method to reduce M. sorbens is warranted. A large number of C. albiceps were caught emerging from the latrines, but this species is not considered to be of medical importance.

“…In the European and Mediterranean fauna, necrophagous Chrysomyinae are represented by seven species. Chrysomya albiceps is a very common species in the Mediterranean basin and has recently shown expansion towards central Europe (Povolný, 2002; Verves, 2004; Szpila et al , 2008). The forensic importance of this fly is well documented in numerous monographs and publications (e.g., Smith, 1986; Kurahashi & Kirk‐Spriggs, 2006; Byrd & Castner, 2010).…”

Light microscopy photographs, line illustrations and scanning electron micrographs are provided for first instars of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) and Protophormia terraenovae (Robineau-Desvoidy) (all: Diptera: Calliphoridae). The following morphological structures are documented: pseudocephalon; antennal complex; maxillary palpus; facial mask; thoracic and abdominal spinulation; spiracular field; posterior spiracles, and cephaloskeleton. New diagnostic features of the cephaloskeleton and the spinulation of abdominal segments are described. Verification of earlier descriptions revealed major discrepancies among published data. The present results allow for the clarification, correction and, especially, complementation of existing information provided by numerous authors. Finally, an identification key for first-instar larvae of European and Mediterranean Chrysomyinae of forensic importance is presented.

“…In Europe it is very abundant in the Iberian Peninsula (Martínez-Sánchez et al 2002, Prado e Castro et al 2012) and is expanding towards central Europe, having reached France, Switzerland and Austria (Grassberger et al 2003), the Ukraine (Verves 2004) and Poland, from where its current northernmost records are known (Szpila et al 2008, Michalski and Szpila in press). Our record from Ilhéu do Farol is the first for Porto Santo.…”

Knowledge on the taxonomic diversity and distribution of blowflies from the Madeira Archipelago is updated. New and interesting findings are reported for poorly studied islands and islets of this archipelago, together with a brief analysis of the diversity of Macaronesian Calliphoridae s. l. Seven blowfly species were collected during this study, including the first records of Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819), Lucilia sericata (Meigen, 1826), Pollenia rudis (Fabricius, 1794) and Stomorhina lunata (Fabricius, 1805) from Porto Santo, and of Calliphora vicina, Lucilia sericata and Stomorhina lunata from Desertas Islands. The presence of Calliphora loewi Enderlein, 1903 in Madeira Laurisilva forest is discussed and its first instar larva is redescribed, revealing important differences in relation to its original description. An identification key to the adult Madeiran blowflies is provided for the first time.
