Abstract
SUMMARY A simple technique, which allows sheep to be rendered temporarily susceptible to fly attack, is described and used to examine oviposition rates of Lucilia cuprina under field conditions. Oviposition rates are shown to be related to both fly activity and fly density. The question of Hobson's ‘live sheep factor’ in attracting L. cuprina to sheep is re‐considered.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
