Abstract
Two species of Lucilia are stated to be associated in the sheep blowfly complex in South Africa. Of these, Lucilia cuprina Wied. is regarded as the main primary fly which produces strike in living sheep. L. sericata Mg., on the other hand, is not considered as important in this respect, although known to be the chief cause of strikes in Europe.
