Lucilia sericata flies were maintained under insectary conditions, and the eggs were sterilized using three treatments: hydrogen peroxide solutions, used as a hand disinfectant (Treatment 1\u2014T1), hydrogen peroxide, surface disinfectant (Treatment 2\u2014T2), and SaniHigene (Treatment 3\u2014T3) and the control (without treatment). All three treatment caused the complete sterilization of eggs, and no bacterial colonies were found on the blood agar culture. The egg hatching rate after 72 h was much higher than after 24 h. Egg mortality in hydrogen peroxide solutions, T1 and T2, was 3\u20134% and less than in solution T3 (13%). Owing to less mortality and more sterility of the eggs, the aforementioned solutions are suggested to be appropriate for sterility in maggot therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjac020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]],"date-time":"2022-02-21T06:23:43Z","timestamp":1645424623000},"page":"1076-1080","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Sterilization of <i>Lucilia sericata<\/i> (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Eggs for Maggot Debridement Therapy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Mulood Mohammadi","family":"Bavani","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Clinical Research Institute, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health, Urmia University of Medical Sciences , Urmia, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seyyed Jaavad","family":"Seyyedzadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Clinical Research Institute, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health, Urmia University of Medical Sciences , Urmia, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ehsan","family":"Radi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Azam","family":"Malekian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mahdiyeh","family":"Hoseinpour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory Sciences Department, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3255-8098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saber","family":"Gholizadeh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Determinants of Health Research Center, Clinical Research Institute, Urmia University of Medical Sciences, Urmia, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Public Health, Urmia University of Medical Sciences , Urmia, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022051714003937100_CIT0001","first-page":"438","article-title":"The treatment of chronic osteomyelitis with the maggot (larva of the blow fly)","volume":"13","author":"Baer","year":"1931","journal-title":"Clin.
