The New World Screwworm fly, Cochliomyia hominivorax, is a major pest of livestock in South America and Caribbean. However, few genomic resources have been available for this species. A genome of 534 Mb was assembled from long read PacBio DNA sequencing of DNA from a highly inbred strain. Analysis of molecular evolution identified 40 genes that are likely under positive selection. Developmental RNA-seq analysis identified specific genes associated with each stage. We identify and analyze the expression of genes that are likely important for host-seeking behavior (chemosensory), development of larvae in open wounds in warm-blooded animals (heat shock protein, immune response) and for building transgenic strains for genetic control programs including gene drive (sex determination, germline). This study will underpin future experiments aimed at understanding the parasitic lifestyle of the screwworm fly and greatly facilitate future development of strains for efficient systems for genetic control of screwworm.

“…The larvae belong to the species of Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Oestridae families are the most common and important causative myiases agents (1). Oestridae is a diverse family of Diptera comprising about 180 described species worldwide and their larvae have a variety of feeding habits, mostly saprophages, endoparasites, parasitoids, and predators (2). They cause often severe economic losses by reducing production, causing damages to hides and increasing treatment costs.…”

“…Their movement and development in the nasal-sinus cavities can cause pathologic and clinical symptoms including rhinitis, frequent sneezing, nasal discharge, breathing difficulties, and emaciation. The annoyance of the adult flies can also lead to significantly reduced animal production by effecting meat, wool and milk production (2). The gravid females are not strictly host-specific and even only a few reports (4), ophthalmic and naso-pharyngeal myiasis also occurred in humans especially the ones close relationship to livestock in several countries.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, naso-pharyngeal myiasis ile enfekte bir insandan elde edilmiş bot sineği larvalarının identifikasyonu ve moleküler karakterizasyonu amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Adana bölgesinde naso-pharyngeal myiasis enfeksiyonu olan 49 yaşındaki bir kadından elde edilen sekiz adet bot sineği larvası çalışmanın materyalini oluşturmuştur. Larvaların teşhis anahtarlarına göre morfolojik teşhisleri yapılmıştır. Larva örneklerinin genomik DNA ekstraktlarında barkod CO1 geni amplifiye edilmiştir. CO1 sekanslarında haplotip ve genetik farklılık analizleri yapılmış ve ilişkileri göstermek için filogenetik ağaç oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular: Morfolojik özelliklerine göre tüm bot sineği larvaları O. ovis'in ikinci dönem larvası olarak teşhis edilmiştir. İzolatların CO1 sekansları arasında polimorfizm belirlenmemiş olup bu sonuç O. ovis için yeni bir haplotipin varlığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Çalışmada yeni karakterize edilen haplotip Bosna-Hersek, Hırvatistan, Brezilya ve İran'dan rapor edilmiş O. ovis haplotipleriyle ortalama %99,5 identiklik göstererek kümelenme göstermiştir. Oestridae alt aileleri arasındaki interspesifik genetik farklılıklar %19,8-%30,8 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışma Türkiye'de rastlantısal bir insan konakta belirlenen O. ovis larvaları üzerine CO1 barkod sekansları temelinde ilk moleküler karakterizasyon verilerini sağlamıştır.

“…The Oestridae is a large dipteran family in which all species are obligate parasites of wild and domestic animals and of humans. It is divided into four subfamilies: Cuterebrinae (New World skin bot flies), Oestrinae (nose bot flies), Gasterophilinae (stomach bot flies) and Hypodermatinae (Old World skin bot flies) [6, 7]. The cases of myiasis in cats reported as caused by species of the Oestridae are indicated in Table 2, almost all belonging to the Cuterebrinae and Oestrinae.…”

Myiasis in domestic cats: a global review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Myiasis is an infestation caused by larvae of Diptera in humans and other vertebrates. In domestic cats, Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), four dipteran families have been reported as agents of obligatory and facultative myiasis: Oestridae, Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Muscidae. Among agents of obligatory myiasis, the most frequent genus is Cuterebra Clark (Oestridae) and the most frequent species is Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Calliphoridae). Among the agents of facultative myiasis, the most frequent species is Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Calliphoridae). A survey of myiasis in cats reported in literature shows that the cases are distributed worldwide and linked to the geographical range of the dipteran species. Factors favouring the occurrence of myiasis in cats are prowling in infested areas, poor hygiene conditions due to diseases and/or neglect, and wounds inflicted during territorial or reproductive competition. The aim of the review is to provide an extended survey of literature on myiasis in cats, as general information and possible development of guidelines for veterinarians, entomologists and other researchers interested in the field.
