Assessing bacteriological quality of fresh black soldier fly larvae.
Black Soldier fly larvae (BSFL) is an insect larva that is used as a source of proteins for animals, including pigs, poultry, and fish. It is also used to decompose organic matter. This study aimed to assess the bacteriological quality of fresh BSFL and investigate the occurrence of antimicrobial …

Downstream processing of Black soldier fly larvae protein for human consumption
… proteins, particularly from Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL). Despite their favourable essential amino acid profile and low environmental footprint, producing BSFL protein powders for human consumption remains technologically constrained. The current methods employed to produce animal feed …

ENHANCING SUSTAINABLE FEED PRODUCTION: UTILIZING AGRICULTURAL WASTES AS SUBSTRATES FOR BLACK SOLDIER FLY LARVAE CULTIVATION
Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens, BSFL) have garnered significant attention as a sustainable feed option due to their ability to grow on a wide variety of organic substrates, including agricultural byproducts, and convert them into nutrient-rich insect biomass. This research thesis …

Evaluating the feasibility of using screw conveyors as a means to continuously grow black soldier fly larvae
… as a means of continuously rearing black soldier fly larvae. Farming of the black soldier fly (BSF) has gained popularity in recent years as means to supply protein for animal feed and recycle food waste. However current methods for BSF farming are labor intensive and costly. This is due partly …

Influence of diet on black soldier fly (hermetia illucens linnaeus) (diptera: stratiomyidae) life history traits
The Black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) is a large 2cm long fly that is native to North America. Larvae are naturally found consuming a wide range of decomposing organic material and therefore has a potential to be used as an agent for waste management. Larvae …

Regulation of pyruvate kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the freeze tolerant goldenrod gall fly: role in polyol cryoprotectant production
Larvae of the goldenrod gall fly, Eurosta solidaginis, can survive winter temperatures as cold as –55oC by using the freeze tolerance strategy of cold hardiness. This study examines pyruvate kinase (PK) and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) that were purified from gall fly larvae …

Biological and ecological studies of Hydrotaea aenescens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Muscidae), and other arthropods of high-rise cage layer poultry houses
… both manure moisture and with densities of house fly larvae. This information emphasized that although predators such as C. pumilio may exhibit high predation rates on house fly eggs and first instars, their effectiveness 1s reduced by their spatial separation from their supposed prey. This …

Laboratory rearing, toxicity of cyromazine and the effect of temperature and manure moisture on Ophyra aenescens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Muscidae)
… Muscidae ), a facultative predator of the house fly, Musca domestica L., was examined. A larval diet of coarse wheat bran, vermiculite and dried meat powder was found adequate for rearing O. aenescens larvae. Protein content was important for maximum larval emergence and for F1 adult longevity …

Prevalence and impacts of ants colonizing active bird nests in Illinois
… that include both harmful (e.g. ectoparasitic fly larvae) and possibly beneficial species. I quantified the arthropod communities of nests of ten species of birds in Illinois along a land-use gradient. I found workers of eight species of ants in nests, and for three of these species (Tapinoma …

Entomological examination of the relationship between ante-mortem and post-mortem amitriptyline concentrations in insects
… and to investigate the potential in using blow fly larvae of the Western Cape, South Africa in forensic entomotoxicological analyses and future implementation. To achieve this blow fly species C. chloropyga and L. sericata were reared on homogenised pig liver containing 1000 mg/kg Amitriptyline …

Identification of genes from the poxvirus of a parasitoid wasp
… The wasp apparently injects DlEPV into host fly larvae along with the egg during oviposition. Although the effect of the presence of DlEPV on wasp larvae survival within the host is unknown, the virus does appear to disrupt haemocyte encapsulation response. The DlEPV genome has not yet been …

DISTURBANCE ECOLOGY OF THE SONADORA RIVER ROCK POOL INSECT ASSEMBLAGE AT LUQUILLO EXPERIMENTAL FOREST, PUERTO RICO
… contained primarily three taxa of Dipteran (true-fly) larvae, in order of decreasing abundance, 1) a newly discovered species of ceratopogonid (biting midges, <em>Dasyhelea</em> <em>grisea</em> species group), 2) chironomids (non-biting midges, tribe Chironomini), and 3) mosquitoes (Culicidae, …

Effect of predators on population dynamics of green peach aphid on flue-cured tobacco in Virginia
… with clover increased the number of syrphid fly larvae on tobacco. Likewise, tobacco interplanted with sunflowers had increased big-eyed bug, populations, and tobacco-alfalfa and tobacco-tobacco plots had higher stilt bug populations on tobacco.

Effects of acetyl salicyclic acid on Drosophila models of cancer-inflammation
… the fat body. The fat body is a large organ in fly larvae and akin to the mammalian liver. In wild type larvae, hematopoietic cells exhibit limited rounds of division, and circulating cells in the hemolymph do not stick to fat body. Our hypothesis was that if the biochemistry and genetic …

"Molecular Analysis of Virulence Factors Unique to Leptopilina heterotoma-a Parasitic Wasp of Drosophila spp."
… overcome the immune defense mechanisms of their fly hosts. Leptopilina heterotoma (Lh) is a generalist wasp species, successful on many Drosophila spp. world-wide. During oviposition, the female wasp introduces venom proteins and virus-like particles (VLPs) into developing fly larvae. VLPs are …

Isolating and characterizing antimicrobial peptides derived from larvae of the blowfly Sarconesiopsis magellanica (diptera: Calliphoridae)
… (LT) is an alternative treatment which uses fly larvae to heal chronic wounds; its action is based on debridement, bacterial removal and stimulating granulation tissue. The most important mechanism for fighting infection with LT depends on larval excretions and secretions (ES). The larvae are …
