Presentation Transcript

  1. complete metamorphosis via pupa stage MOSQUITO larvae live in water, feed on microorganisms MOSQUITO adults fly to hosts and feed on blood FLY PARASITESFLY LIFE CYCLES - BASIC PATTERNS (1) LARVA FREE LIVING, ADULT PARASITIC

  2. adult without larva larva in mother eg: TSETSE, SHEEP KEDS, LOUSE FLIES FLY PARASITESFLY LIFE CYCLES - BASIC PATTERNS (2) LARVA DEVELOPS IN MOTHER ADULT PARASITIC

  3. BOT FLY adult does not feed, only disperses and reproduces BOT FLY larva burrows in live tissue of host FLY PARASITESFLY LIFE CYCLES - BASIC PATTERNS (3) LARVA PARASITIC ADULT FREE LIVING

  4. MOSQUITOES - ~ 4 batches of 200 eggs, 2 week larval development FEW OFFSPRING - HIGH SURVIVAL WARBLE FLIES ~ 2 batches of 50 eggs, 1 year larval development FLY PARASITESFLY REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGIES MANY OFFSPRING - LOW SURVIVAL

  5. adult 3 larval stages on dead or live host pupa in soil eggs or FLY PARASITESLIFE CYCLE OF LUCILIA BLOWFLY (This is facultative myiasis, larvae can survive on carrion)

  6. female seeks cattle for egg laying larva burrows in flesh of cattle eggs laid on leg mature larva pupates in soil FLY PARASITES LIFE CYCLE OF HYPODERMA WARBLE FLY (An obligate myiasis, specialised for live cattle)
