Cuterebrinae
The Cuterebrinae, the robust bot flies, are a subfamily of Oestridae which includes large, parasitic flies; this group has historically been treated as a family, but all recent classifications place them firmly within the Oestridae. Both genera spend their larval stages in the skin of mammals. The genus ''Cuterebra'', or rodent bots, attack rodents and similar animals. The other genus, ''Dermatobia'', attacks primates, including humans. See also * Cuterebriasis Cuterebriasis is a parasitic disease affecting rodents, lagomorphs (hares, rabbits, pikas), felines, and canines. The etiologic agent is the larval development of botflies within the ''Cuterebra'' or '' Trypoderma'' genera, which occurs obliga ...

Oestridae
Botflies, also known as warble flies, heel flies, and gadflies, are a family of flies known as the Oestridae. Their larvae are internal parasites of mammals, some species growing in the host's flesh and others within the gut. ''Dermatobia hominis'' is the only species of botfly known to parasitize humans routinely, though other species of flies cause myiasis in humans. General A botfly, also written bot fly, bott fly or bot-fly in various combinations, is any fly in the family Oestridae. Their life cycles vary greatly according to species, but the larvae of all species are internal parasites of mammals. Largely according to species, they also are known variously as warble flies, heel flies, and gadflies. The larvae of some species grow in the flesh of their hosts, while others grow within the hosts' alimentary tracts. The word "bot" in this sense means a maggot. A warble is a skin lump or callus such as might be caused by an ill-fitting harness, or by the presence of a warble ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cuterebra
''Cuterebra'', or rodent bots, is a genus of bot flies that attack rodents and similar animals. Etymology The genus name ''Cuterebra'' is a blend of the Latin words ''cutis'' : skin and ''terebra'' : borer with apparent shortening of expected ''Cutiterebra'' to ''Cuterebra''. Species These 78 species belong to the genus ''Cuterebra'': * ''Cuterebra abdominalis'' Swenk, 1905 * '' Cuterebra albata'' Sabrosky, 1986 * ''Cuterebra albipilosa'' Sabrosky, 1986 * ''Cuterebra almeidai'' (Guimaraes & Carrera, 1941) * ''Cuterebra americana'' (Fabricius, 1775) (woodrat bot fly) * ''Cuterebra apicalis'' Guérin-Méneville, 1835 * ''Cuterebra approximata'' Walker, 1866 * ''Cuterebra arizonae'' Sabrosky, 1986 * ''Cuterebra atrox'' Clark * ''Cuterebra austeni'' Sabrosky, 1986 * ''Cuterebra baeri'' Shannon & Greene, 1926 * ''Cuterebra bajensis'' Sabrosky, 1986 * ''Cuterebra buccata'' (Fabricius, 1776) (rabbit bot fly) * ''Cuterebra bureni'' Dalmat, 1942 * ''Cuterebra cayennensis'' Macquart, 1843 ...

Dermatobia
The human botfly, ''Dermatobia hominis'' (Greek δέρμα, skin + βίος, life, and Latin '' hominis'', of a human), is a species of botfly whose larvae parasitise humans (in addition to a wide range of other animals, including other primates). It is also known as the torsalo or American warble fly, though the warble fly is in the genus ''Hypoderma'' and not ''Dermatobia'', and is a parasite on cattle and deer instead of humans. ''Dermatobia'' fly eggs have been shown to be vectored by over 40 species of mosquitoes and muscoid flies, as well as one species of tick; the female captures the mosquito and attaches its eggs to its body, then releases it. Either the eggs hatch while the mosquito is feeding and the larvae use the mosquito bite area as the entry point, or the eggs simply drop off the muscoid fly when it lands on the skin. The larvae develop inside the subcutaneous layers, and after about eight weeks, they drop out to pupate for at least a week, typically in the so ...

Subfamily (biology)
In biological classification, a subfamily (Latin: ', plural ') is an auxiliary (intermediate) taxonomic rank, next below family but more inclusive than genus. Standard nomenclature rules end subfamily botanical names with "-oideae", and zoological names with "-inae". See also * International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants * International Code of Zoological Nomenclature * Rank (botany) * Rank (zoology) In biological classification, taxonomic rank is the relative level of a group of organisms (a taxon) in an ancestral or hereditary hierarchy. A common system consists of species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, kingdom, domain. While olde ... Sources {{biology-stub ...

Parasite
Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as Armillaria mellea, honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the Orobanchaceae, broomrapes. There are six major parasitic Behavioral ecology#Evolutionarily stable strategy, strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism (by contact), wikt:trophic, trophicallytransmitted parasitism (by being eaten), Disease vector, vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropreda ...

Systematic Entomology
''Systematic Entomology'' is a scientific journal covering the field of systematic entomology, published by the Royal Entomological Society of London. Having begun in 1932 as '' Proceedings of the Royal Entomological Society of London, Series B: Taxonomy'', the title was changed to ''Journal of Entomology, Series B: Taxonomy'' in 1971, starting with volume 40. After volume 44 in 1976, the journal became ''Systematic Entomology'', starting again with volume 1. According to the ''Journal Citation Reports'', the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 3.844.

Primate
Primates are a diverse order of mammals. They are divided into the strepsirrhines, which include the lemurs, galagos, and lorisids, and the haplorhines, which include the tarsiers and the simians (monkeys and apes, the latter including humans). Primates arose 85–55 million years ago first from small terrestrial mammals, which adapted to living in the trees of tropical forests: many primate characteristics represent adaptations to life in this challenging environment, including large brains, visual acuity, color vision, a shoulder girdle allowing a large degree of movement in the shoulder joint, and dextrous hands. Primates range in size from Madame Berthe's mouse lemur, which weighs , to the eastern gorilla, weighing over . There are 376–524 species of living primates, depending on which classification is used. New primate species continue to be discovered: over 25 species were described in the 2000s, 36 in the 2010s, and three in the 2020s. Primates have large bra ...

Cuterebriasis
Cuterebriasis is a parasitic disease affecting rodents, lagomorphs (hares, rabbits, pikas), felines, and canines. The etiologic agent is the larval development of botflies within the ''Cuterebra'' or '' Trypoderma'' genera, which occurs obligatorily in rodents and lagomorphs, respectively. Felines and canines serve as accidental hosts, but research suggests only by ''Trypoderma'' spp. Entrance into the body by first-instar larvae occurs via mucous membranes of natural orifices or open wounds as opposed to direct dermic penetration. Clinical signs In rabbits, hares, and lagomorphs, clinical signs usually do not appear. Subcutaneous cysts, warbles, may present upon larval deposition out of the body at maturation. Three forms in which cuterebriasis may present in canines and felines: * Myasis involves subcutaneous cyst formation due to third larval-instar maturation, occurring about 30 days after entry into the body. Cysts are often found on the face, neck, and trunk, but location v ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
