The use of irradiated embryos of Chrysomya bezziana for the detection of the Old World screw-worm fly [in cattle]
1990
Clarke, D.M. (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Boroko (Papua New Guinea). Screw Worm Fly Unit)
Cattle with wounds infested with 1st instar larvae derived from irradiated embryos had 3rd instar larvae present after 3d, but they failed to pupate. Thus it would be feasible to use such infestations for the enhanced detection of the pest in areas where the release of fertile flies is undesirable.
