Chrysomya bezziana Villeneuve is the major human myiasis producer in tropical countries, including Sri Lanka. Although of great medical and veterinary importance, only a single study has been published on the development of C. bezziana. This limitation is due in part to the difficulty of maintaining this species in a colony outside of using a living host. In this study, a novel technique that overcomes this limitation is presented along with development data for C. bezziana fed on three different meat types: swine muscle, swine liver, and bovine muscle at two temperature regimes: 35 and 37°C. The optimum development of C. bezziana was recorded at 35°C in bovine muscle (262.20 h) followed by swine muscle (286.00 h) and swine liver (307.00 h). Data from the current study indicate tissue type significantly impacts change in length and width of larvae over time, whereas the two temperatures examined had no significant effect.
金蝇属贝氏亚种是热带国家（包括斯里兰卡）主要的人体蝇蛆病病原体。尽管其具有重要的医学和兽医学意义，但仅有一项关于金蝇属贝氏亚种发育的研究发表。这种局限性部分归因于难以在没有活体宿主的情况下在殖民地中维持该物种。在这项研究中，提出了一种克服这一限制的新技术，并提供了在 35 和 37°C 两种温度条件下，以三种不同肉类（猪肌肉、猪肝脏和牛肌肉）喂养金蝇属贝氏亚种的发育数据。在牛肌肉（262.20 h）中记录到金蝇属贝氏亚种的最佳发育，其次是猪肌肉（286.00 h）和猪肝脏（307.00 h）。本研究的数据表明，组织类型会显著影响幼虫在不同时间的长度和宽度的变化，而所检查的两个温度则没有显著影响。
