TL;DR: The major obstacles associated with the production of fly larvae from organic waste on an industrial scale seem to be technological aspects of scaling-up the production capacity, insufficient knowledge of fly biology necessary to produce large amounts of eggs, and current legislation.

TL;DR: The technology for biodegrading pig manure by using houseflies in a pilot plant capable of processing 500–700 kg of pig manure per week is described and recommendations for the operation of industrial-scale biodegradation facilities are presented.

TL;DR: The first evidence of vasodilators in horse fly Hybomitra bimaculata salivary gland extract and clone and express one of the active peptides (termed vasotab) is described.

TL;DR: The fecundity of flies decreased with increase in the number of flies per cage, but the highest total number of eggs per cage was obtained when the flies were most crowded, and the size of the pupae did not significantly affect egg production.

TL;DR: Anticoagulant activities against the extrinsic and intrinsic coagulation pathways were identified in salivary gland extracts (SGE) prepared from four tabanids and species-specific differences in the elution profiles and range of fractions with anticoagulate activities were revealed.
