Abstract

Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) it is a facultative ectoparasite responsible for traumatic myiasis in humans and warmblooded vertebrates in the world. In this work one case of traumatic myasis caused by C. vicina (Diptera Calliphoirdae) is reported for the first time in a vulnerable crested porcupine ( Hystrix cristata Linnaeus, 1758). A total of 30 larvae located in the posterior-dorsal area of the animal were removed from inside the lesion and either preserved in ethanol or reared to the adult stage. This report shows the great ability of C. vicina to use many organic matter for the food source’s offspring, including many live vertebrates.

意大利冠状豪猪刺蝇致创伤性蝇蛆病首例报道

丽蝇（直翅目：丽蝇科）是一种兼性外寄生虫，在世界范围内对人类和温血脊椎动物的创伤性蝇蛆病负责。在这项工作中，首次报道了一例由C.vicina引起的创伤性肌病（直翅目剑尾虫科）发生在一只脆弱的冠豪猪身上（Hystrix crista Linnaeus，1758）。将位于动物背部后部区域的总共30只幼虫从病变内取出，保存在乙醇中或饲养至成年期。这份报告显示了C.vicina为食物来源的后代（包括许多活脊椎动物）利用许多有机物的强大能力。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Entomological and Acarological Research (JEAR), formerly the Bollettino di Zoologia Agraria e di Bachicoltura of the Institute of Entomology of the Università degli Studi, Milano, was founded in 1928 by Remo Grandori. Thereafter, Minos Martelli and Luciano Süss hold the direction of the Journal until December 2011. In January 2012 the Editor decided for the new open-access on-line version of JEAR. The Journal publishes original research papers concerning Arthopods, but reviews, editorials, technical reports, brief notes, conference proceeding, letters to the Editor, book reviews are also welcome. JEAR has four main areas of interest: -Entomology (systematics; morphology; biology; biotechnology; agriculture, ornamental and forest entomology; applied entomology; integrated pest management; biological control; apiculture and apidology; medical, urban and veterinary entomology; etc.) -Stored product pests (biology; integrated pest management; etc.) -Insect Ecology (behaviour; biodiversity; taxonomy; plant insect interaction and ecosystems; biological control; alien species; etc.) -Acarology (systematics; morphology; biology; parasitology; control; etc.) The publication of manuscripts is subject to the approval of the Section Editor who has knowledge of the field discussed in the manuscript in accordance with the principles of Peer Review; referees will be selected from the Editorial Board or among qualified scientists of the international scientific community. Articles must be written in English and must adhere to the guidelines and details contained in the Instructions to Authors.
