1. MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF SIX SPECIES OF CALLIPHORIDAE (DIPTERA) WITH FORENSIC INTEREST IN BOGOTÁ, COLOMBIA
ABSTRACT Taxonomic identification of the species involved in the processes of cadaveric decomposition is a fundamental procedure in forensic entomological analysis. Among the species involved in the processes of decay, those of the Calliphoridae family are particularly important because they come to the body in the early stages of decomposition. The aim of t

2. Descripción y clave de los estadios inmaduros de las principales especies de Calliphoridae (Diptera) de importancia forense en Colombia
Larvae of 13 blowfly species from Colombia are described and an illustrated key for all them is presented. All larval instars of Calliphora nigribasis Macquart, Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius), Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann), Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius), Hemilucilia segmentaria (Fabricius), Hemilucilia semidiaphana (Rondani), Lucilia eximia (Weidema

3. Diptera of sanitary importance associated with composting of biosolids in Argentina
OBJECTIVE: Odorous compounds produced at the biosolids composting plant in Bariloche (NW Patagonia) attract a variety of insects, mainly belonging to the order Diptera. In order to characterize these flies, collected specimens were taxonomically identified, their community characteristics were described and their sanitary and synanthropic importance and auto

4. Sinantropia de los Calliphoridae (Diptera) de Valdívia, Chile
O objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar o índice de sinantropia de adultos de Calliphoridae (Diptera) coletados na cidade de Valdívia, Chile (39º48' S; 73°15' W). As moscas foram coletadas mensalmente entre setembro de 1996 e agosto de 1997 em três localidades diferentes, representando os ambientes urbano, rural e natural. Carcaças de ratos albi

5. Identification and molecular analysis of a multigene family encoding calliphorin, the major larval serum protein of Calliphora vicina
A library of Calliphora vicina genomic DNA was constructed in the λEMBL3 vector and screened for recombinant phages containing chromosomal segments encoding calliphorin, the major larval serum protein (LSP) of Calliphora. A large series of recombinants hybridizing with in vitro labelled poly(A)+ RNA from Calliphora larval fat bodies and with specific probes

6. Effects of 5,7-dihydroxytriptamine (5,7-DHT) on circadian locomotor activity of the blow fly, Calliphora vicina
The biogenic amine serotonin (5-HT) is a neuromodulator in both vertebrates and invertebrates. It has been shown that serotonin, apart from its distinct effects on behavior, also plays a morphoregulatory role during the ontogeny of the insect's nervous system. The role of serotonin in modulating circadian locomotor activity of the blow fly, Calliphora vicina

7. Salmonella Suppression by Known Populations of Bacteria in Flies
Survivorship of Salmonella typhimurium, Streptococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied in dibiotic and tribiotic interactions in vitro and in various regions of the digestive tract of the blow fly, Calliphora vicina. In dibiotic interactions, Salmonella typhimurium dominated Streptococcus faecalis and was dominated by P. mi

8. Evidence against the exon theory of genes derived from the triose-phosphate isomerase gene.
The exon theory of genes proposes that the introns of protein-encoding nuclear genes are remnants of the DNA spacers between ancient minigenes. The discovery of an intron at a predicted position in the triose-phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.1) gene of Culex mosquitoes has been hailed as an evidential pillar of the theory. We have found that that intron is also

9. Antiviral and antitumor peptides from insects
Insects can rapidly clear microbial infections by producing a variety of immune-induced molecules including antibacterial and/or antifungal peptides/polypeptides. In this report, we present the isolation, structural characterization, and biological properties of two variants of a group of bioactive, slightly cationic peptides, referred to as alloferons. Two

10. Primary characterization and basal promoter activity of two hexamerin genes of Musca domestica
Hexamerins are high molecular-weight proteins found in the hemolymph of insects and have been proposed to function as storage proteins. In previous studies, two Musca domestica hexamerins, designated Hex-L and Hex-F were characterized. Hex-L is synthesized exclusively by the larval fat bodies, is secreted into the hemolymph and likely provides a source of am

11. Voltage-activated potassium channels in blowfly photoreceptors and their role in light adaptation.
1. The membrane properties of the photoreceptors of the blowfly (Calliphora vicina) were investigated in situ by making intracellular recordings in the intact retina, using discontinuous single-electrode current and voltage clamp techniques. Single channels were investigated using inside-out patches from dissociated photoreceptors. 2. Photoreceptors have a r
