Objectives of this research were to evaluate the effect of larval experience on feeding preference of larvae and the effect of larval and pupal experience on oviposition preference of females in Musca domestica L. and Chrysomya megacephala F. Dietary experience from hatch to test significantly influenced feeding preference of the second-instar larvae in M. domestica (P < 0.01), but did not in C. megacephala. The larval dietary and pupal experience did not change the oviposition preference of C. megacephala, and experienced gravid females laid all of their eggs on pork muscle. Larval feeding regimen had no effect on oviposition preference of subsequent females in M. domestica. However, the pupal experience in M. domestica significantly influenced the oviposition preference of subsequent females, and M. domestica females from pupae matured on wheat bran laid significantly more eggs on wheat bran than those that matured on pork muscle, or filter paper whether pupae were washed or not (P < 0.01). These results demonstrated that host-selection behavior in M. domestica was shaped by preimaginal experience according to the chemical legacy hypothesis.

Gravid females of Metapenaeopsis barbata spawned in the laboratory by natural means and the larvae were reared from hatching to postlarval stage at 27·0–29·8˚C and 33·5–34·5 g kg -1 salinity. The larvae metamorphosed into first postlarvae, with a survival rate of up to 98·4%, after about 10 days following hatching and subsistence on only an algal diet of Tetraselmis tetrathele and Chaetoceros gracilis. Six naupliar stages, three protozoeal stages, three mysis stages and the first postlarval stage are described and illustrated. On the basis of morphological characteristics, larval stages of M. barbata can be distinguished from similar stages of closely related species in the family Penaeidae. As inferred from the morphology of the larval feeding apparatus, M. barbata is still a filter-feeder even at the first postlarval stage.

Enterobactérias foram identificadas em adultos de Musca domestica (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) e Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1754) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Ambas as espécies foram capturadas no Jardim Zoológico da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e tiveram a superfície externa do corpo lavada e o sistema digestivo dissecado, para análise bacteriológica. Identificaram-se Escherichia coli, Citrobacter sp., Proteus mirabilis, Morganella sp., Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas sp., Enterobacter sp. e Salmonella Agona. P. mirabilis foi o isolado bacteriano mais freqüente. Em duas amostragens (8%) de C. megacephala, isolou-se Salmonella Agona. As amostras de E. coli não foram enteropatogênicas. M. domestica e C. megacephala são potenciais veiculadoras de bactérias causadoras de enterites em humanos e animais.

Lalat merupakan jenis serangga yang hidup dekat dengan lingkungan manusia. Jenis lalat yang berada di sekitar permukiman sangat banyak dan membawa berbagai jenis penyakit yang dapat membahayakan kesehatan masyarakat. Penelitian bertujuan untuk menentukan kelimpahan nisbi, frekuensi, dan dominansi jenis lalat di beberapa pasar tradisional di Kecamatan Martapura. Penelitian dilakukan di lima pasar tradisional yaitu Pasar Sejumput, Pasar  Batuah, Pasar Sekumpul, Pasar Permata, dan Pasar Kuliner pada bulan April sampai Mei 2020. Koleksi lalat menggunakan sweep net dengan cara mengayunkannya di sekitar tempat sampah. Lalat yang telah dikoleksi kemudian diidentifikasi dengan menggunakan kunci identifikasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat empat spesies lalat dalam lokasi penelitian yaitu Musca domestica, M. conducens, Chrysomya megacephala dan C. rufifacies. Kelimpahan nisbi, frekuensi spesies dan dominansi spesies menunjukan bahwa tertangkapnya lalat M. domestica lebih tinggi dibandingkan spesies lainnya. Selanjutnya, Pasar Batuah merupakan lokasi penelitian dengan jumlah kelimpahan nisbi, frekuensi spesies, dan dominansi spesies lalat terbanyak jika dibandingkan lokasi Pasar Tradisional lainnya. Penelitian ini bermanfaat sebagai informasi awal dalam menentukan potensi lalat sebagai vektor penularan penyakit disuatu lingkungan.   Kata kunci: kelimpahan nisbi, frekuensi, dominansi, jenis lalat, pasar tradisional

Lalat merupakan salah satu serangga yang termasuk ke dalam Ordo Diptera yang kehadirannya dapat mengganggu ketentraman manusia dan sebagai vector mekanik penularan penyakit. Kebiasaan lalat yang menyukai tempat-tempat kotor seperti pasar yang menyebabkan semua bagian tubuh lalat dapat dengan mudah membawa parasit jenis protozoa usus pada tubuhnya seperti Entamoebahistolytica, Entamoeba coli, Giardia lamblia, dan Balatidium coli. Beberapa spesies Lalat mendapat perhatian cukup tinggi di bidang kesehatan. Penyakit-penyakit yang biasanya ditularkan lalat antara lain kolera, diare, disentri, tifus, dan penyakit pencernaan. Penelitian dilakukan di Laboratorium Parasitologi Fakultas Ilmu Kesehatan Universitas Setia Budi, Surakarta. Sampel yang digunakan sebanyak 40 sampel yang terdiri dari 20 sampel Musca domestica dan 20 sampel Chrysomya megachepala. Identifikasi Entamoeba hystolitica dan Balantidium coli  pada lalat dilakukan dengan  metode sedimentasi yang menggunakan lauratan NaCl 0,9% dan kemudian dilakukan pengamatan secara mikroskopis. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi Entamoeba hystolitica dan Balantidium coli    pada tubuh lalat Muscadomestica danChrysomyamegacephala yang diperoleh di Pasar Legi, Surakarta ditemukan 1 kista Entamoeba histolytica pada Musca domestica dengan prosentase 5% dan 2 Trofozoit Balantidium coli pada Chrysomya megacephala dengan prosentase 10%.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo listar quais são os dípteros necrófagos na região noroeste do Paraná. As informações fazem parte de um projeto, aprovado no comitê de ética em pesquisa de animais, em desenvolvimento no IFPR Campus Umuarama. Durante o estudo, um cadáver de suíno com o peso aproximado de 10 kg foi utilizado como substrato, o qual foi colocado em uma gaiola com uma tela, para impedir a entrada de vertebrados necrófagos. A coleta dos insetos foi realizada por meio de uma armadilha modificada. A gaiola de metal que continha o substrato estava fixada no terreno do IFPR Campus Umuarama. Em relação aos insetos foram coletadas cinco espécies de Muscidae (Sarcopromusca pruna; Musca domestica; Hydrotaea aenescens; Sythesiomyia nudiseta e Stomoxys calcitrans) e seis espécies de Calliphoridae (Cochliomyia macellaria; Chrysomya albiceps; Chrysomya megacephala; Lucilia eximia; Lucilia cuprina e Hemilucilia segmentaria). Os espécimes de Stomoxys calcitrans podem ter sido coletados devido à presença de gado de corte próximo ao local. O processo de decomposição se completou em seis dias, o que pode ser devido aos altos índices de temperatura e baixos índices de umidade observados no local. Nesse período foram observados quatro estágios: fresco; enfisematoso; coliquativo e esqueletização. Estes dados são importantes para a construção de um banco de dados de espécies de importância forense.

This study aims to identify the diversity of flies that were caught and interacted with carcasses at the day and night. Each of the three rat carcasses (Rattus norvegicus) was placed outdoor and indoor within the campus of IPB Dramaga. The carcasses were put into a screen cage. Observation of flies was begun at 06:00 am and so on every four hours until the skeletal stage of the carcasses reached. The flies that come to the carcasses and into the screen cage were collected and identified. The decomposition of the indoor carcasses is slower than at outdoor, with the longer fresh stage. Meanwhile, post-decay stage and skeletal stage were achieved at the same time at each location. Nine spesies captured flies which are forensic indicator were Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius), Chrysomya bezziana Villeneuve, Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart), Chrysomya saffranea, Chrysomya spp, Lucilia spp, Sarcophaga spp, Calliphora spp and Musca domestica. C. bezziana Villeneuve and C. megacephala (Fabricius) were the dominant flies at outdoor carcasses. Meanwhile, the indoor carcasses was dominated by Lucilia spp.
