Abstract
Sarcophaga ruficornis is well-known myiasis causing fly and also act as a vector to transmit disease-causing pathogens. This study evaluates the histological effects of the lethal concentration of the cypermethrin insecticide on the midgut of flesh fly Sarcophaga ruficornis. Cypermethrin showed toxic effects at 0.001% after 24 and 48 hours of treatment which causes histological changes. The midgut epithelial cells were disrupted with prominent enlargement in size at 24 hours of treatment, which shows more damage after 48 hours of treatment. More disruption in the basement membrane and outer muscular layer was observed at 48 hours compared to the 24 hours post-treatment. The degenerated peritrophic membrane and cytoplasmic vacuolization also increased with the increase in the exposure time. The obtained results suggest that cypermethrin insecticide can be used to manage the population of this fly.
