Disease relevance of Diptera

 

Psychiatry related information on Diptera

 

High impact information on Diptera

  • The number of achaete-scute genes increased during insect evolution, particularly in the Diptera lineage [7].
  • The complexity of the spatial expression of these genes on the notum increased in the lineage leading to the higher Diptera, allowing the development of stereotyped bristle patterns [7].
  • The feeding scars of a wood-mining herbivorous insect (Phytobia betulae Kangas; Diptera: Agromyzidae) of birch trees (Betula pendula and Betula pubescens) provided long time series data (47 and 65 years) of absolute abundance (larvae/tree) in replicated trees within replicated stands [8].
  • Corpora allata from mosquito larvae, however, produce only JH III, indicating that JHB3 production may be restricted to the higher Diptera [9].
  • Chromatin of Chironomus thummi (Diptera) contains seven sequence variants of histone H1 [10].

Associations of Diptera with chemical compounds

  • Canavanine incorporation into the antibacterial proteins of the fly, Phormia terranovae (Diptera), and its effect on biological activity [25].
  • Big flies, small repeats: the "Thr-Gly" region of the period gene in Diptera [26].
  • Molecular characterization of an 18 kb segment of DNA puff C4 of Bradysia hygida (Diptera, sciaridae) [27].
  • Juvenile hormone regulation of the E75 nuclear receptor is conserved in Diptera and Lepidoptera [28].
  • Chromatographic characterisation and biological activity of neuropeptides immunoreactive to antisera against Met5-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 (YGGFMRF) extracted from the blowfly Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera) [29].
 

Gene context of Diptera

  • Nanos plays a conserved role in axial patterning outside of the Diptera [30].
  • SUMF2 evolved from a single exon SUMF1 gene as found in diptera prior to divergent intron acquisition [31].
  • Parallel alterations in the timing of ovarian ecdysone receptor and ultraspiracle expression characterize the independent evolution of larval reproduction in two species of gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) [32].
  • Sex-specific dsx mRNAs have been reported in Diptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera, and dsx homologs in nematodes and mammals are required for aspects of male differentiation [33].
  • However, it is now clear that bcd is a unique feature of higher Diptera [34].
