Description
This third volume of The Awesome World of Blow Flies presents various additional observations and hypotheses on blow flies and how they provide benefits to the environment and other living creatures. The mouth hooks of blow fly larvae and other facultative myiasis fly larvae cause the entrance of wound exudate, ammonia, and other larvae secretions into the tissues beneath the wound and also to the bloodstream. The adult female facultative myiasis flies are attracted to wounded creatures. In addition to feasting on the wound exudate, they lay their eggs at the wound site and transfer various microbes to the wound area. The hatched larvae and their activity further transfer microbes to other creatures and their respective bloodstream. Not only there is no sepsis, but also the host has become immunized to various microbes in the process.The aim of this and other volumes of The Awesome World of Blow Flies is to promote and encourage further observations and research on blow flies, Maggot Debridement Therapy (MDT), and the broader fields of microbiology, biochemistry, immunology, and other related sciences.
