The cytochrome b haplotypes are useful markers for identifying the geographical origins of any emerging infestations of the species: the absence of Indonesian and African haplotypes in the Middle East demonstrates that the large‐scale transport of livestock is not spreading Old World screwworm.

The parasitization percent was increased from 10 % during April to 35 % at the end of the pomegranate fruiting season at October, and female parasite preferred to infest the host larvae at the age of, 2–3 days than 7 day old.

The range of constant temperature did not greatly alter the progeny sex ratio when female parent had been mated, but male activity was adversely affected when both sexes were exposed to it without previous mating, resulting in a higher number of male progeny.
