Journal ArticleDOI
Organization and expression of the Australian sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina) hsp23, hsp24, hsp70 and hsp83 genes
Carolina Concha,R M Edman,Esther J. Belikoff,Anja H. Schiemann,Brandi-lee Carey,Maxwell J. Scott +5 more
TL;DR: The isolation and characterization of a heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) gene, the hsp83 gene and two genes that encode small Hsps from the Australian sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina, a major agricultural pest are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic sexing system for genetic control of the Australian sheep blow fly Lucilia cuprina.
TL;DR: Transgenic strains of L. cuprina that carry a dominant tetracycline repressible female lethal genetic system are developed and should be readily transferrable to other major calliphorid livestock pests including the New and Old World screwworm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation and sex-specific splicing of the transformer gene in the calliphorids Cochliomyia hominivorax, Cochliomyia macellaria and Lucilia sericata.
TL;DR: A model for sex specific regulation of tra splicing is proposed that incorporates the conserved features identified in this study and is proposed to facilitate the development of a “male-only” strain for genetic control programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Towards next generation maggot debridement therapy: transgenic Lucilia sericata larvae that produce and secrete a human growth factor.
Rebecca J. Linger,Esther J. Belikoff,Ying Yan,Fang Li,Holly A. Wantuch,Helen L. Fitzsimons,Maxwell J. Scott +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a novel concept in MDT technology that combines the established benefits of MDT with the power of genetic engineering to promote wound healing, which is a cost-effective and successful treatment for diabetic foot ulcers and other medical conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific Gene Disruption in the Major Livestock Pests Cochliomyia hominivorax and Lucilia cuprina Using CRISPR/Cas9.

TL;DR: The CRISPR protocol described here is a significant improvement on the existing toolkit of molecular methods in calliphorids and suggests that Cas9-based systems targeting Chtra and Lctra could be an effective means for controlling natural populations of these important pests.
