Abstract
Survival, size and development time were measured for larvae of Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) reared in artificially induced strikes on sheep. Between 477 and 18 000 eggs or larvae were implanted in the fleece of 42 sheep. Survival was found not to depend significantly on implant numbers. Size and development time were significantly but only weakly dependent on implant numbers. These results contrast markedly with L. cuprina's performance on carrion.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
