Mitochondrial genomic investigation reveals a clear association between species and genotypes of Lucilia and geographic origin in Australia

Abstract Background Lucilia cuprina and L. sericata (family Calliphoridae) are globally significant ectoparasites of sheep. Current literature suggests that only one of these blowfly subspecies, L. cuprina dorsalis, is a primary parasite causing myiasis (flystrike) in sheep in Australia. These speci...
