1. Infectivity of housefly, Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) to different entomopathogenic fungi
Abstract The housefly Musca domestica is a worldwide insect pest that acts as a vector for many pathogenic diseases in both people and animals. The present study was conducted to evaluate the virulence of different local isolates of Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Isaria fumosorosea on M. domestica using two bioassay techniques: (1) adult imme

2. Histological Observation and Expression Patterns of antimicrobial peptides during Fungal Infection in Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae) Larvae
ABSTRACT Housefly, Musca domestica, has a complicated immune system. However, its underlying operating mechanism remains elusive. Candida albicans is a major pathogen affecting humans by causing deep infection fungous disease, but it is non-symbiotic in houseflies. To investigate the C. albicans infection process in housefly, the changes in morphological and

3. Cloning, purification and comparative characterization of two digestive lysozymes from Musca domestica larvae
cDNA coding for two digestive lysozymes (MdL1 and MdL2) of the Musca domestica housefly was cloned and sequenced. MdL2 is a novel minor lysozyme, whereas MdL1 is the major lysozyme thus far purified from M. domestica midgut. MdL1 and MdL2 were expressed as recombinant proteins in Pichia pastoris, purified and characterized. The lytic activities of MdL1 and M

4. Biodiversity of Calliphoridae and Muscidae from urban garbage dumps of Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brasil / Biodiversidade de moscas Calliphoridae e Muscidae no depósito de lixo urbano de Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brasil
Estudou-se a biodiversidade de califorídeos e muscídeos no lixão de Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brasil, no período de março de 2006 a março de 2007. Para esse propósito, seis armadilhas com garrafas tipo pet de 2 litros, contendo como atrativo fígado bovino, foram alocadas ao redor do lixão. Foram capturadas 44.688 califorídeos, com maior freq

5. Bases moleculares do efeito do pH na atividas catalítica de duas lisozimas digestivas de Musca domestica (Diptera) / Molecular basis of the pH effect on the catalytic activity of two digestive lysozymes from Musca domestica (Diptera)
Lysozymes are enzymes that are part of the defence mechanism against bacteria, however lysozymes with digestive function are also found in the digestive tract of vertebrates and in the insect midgut. The digestive lysozymes from insects are c type, so they share similar structural and mechanistic characteristics with hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL). However, t

6. Developmental and hyperthermia-induced expression of the heat shock proteins HSP60 and HSP70 in tissues of the housefly Musca domestica: an in vitro study
The expression pattern of two major chaperones, the heat shock proteins (HSPs) HSP60 and HSP70 was studied in vitro in tissues of the housefly Musca domestica during larval and adult stages of development to identify their immunological relatives and understand their functional significance in normal cellular activities and during thermal stress.

8. A Rare-Male Advantage in the Housefly Induced by Wing Clipping and Some General Considerations for Drosophila
Multiple-choice crosses among five geographic strains of the housefly, Musca domestica L., were carried out in equal (10:10) and low-frequency (4:16) ratios. Initially, a low-frequency-male mating advantage was apparent, but further analyses related this minority advantage to a reduction of male mating success during marking by wing clipping. When there are

9. DNA oxidative damage and life expectancy in houseflies.
The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between oxidative molecular damage and the aging process by determining whether such damage is associated with the rate of aging, using the adult housefly as the experimental organism. Because the somatic tissues in the housefly consist of long-lived postmitotic cells, it provides an excellent model

10. Morphometric Differentiation among Experimental Lines of the Housefly in Relation to a Bottleneck
Differentiation in morphometric traits among experimental populations of the housefly subjected to an experimental bottleneck was examined for replicate lines founded with one, four or 16 pairs of flies. Differentiation among lines within a bottleneck size was significantly greater than predicted by drift in relation to the additive genetic variation for the

11. Unusual mechanism of hydrocarbon formation in the housefly: cytochrome P450 converts aldehyde to the sex pheromone component (Z)-9-tricosene and CO2.
An unusual mechanism for hydrocarbon biosynthesis is proposed from work examining the formation of (Z)-9-tricosene (Z9-23:Hy), the major sex pheromone component of the female housefly, Musca domestica. Incubation of (Z)-15-[1-14C]- and (Z)-15-[15,16-3H2]tetracosenoic acid (24:1 fatty acid) with microsomes from houseflies gave equal amounts of [3H]Z9-23:Hy an

12. Transmission of chlamydiae by the housefly.
The ability of the housefly to carry viable Chlamydia trachomatis and to transmit a chlamydial ocular infection was studied under laboratory conditions. After feeding flies (Musca domestica) on suspensions of egg yolk sac infected with C. trachomatis serotypes A or B (responsible for hyperendemic trachoma) the agents were reisolated from flies' intestines fo
