Demographics
Today Lucilia cuprina can be found throughout the world in various warm locations. Australia is one of the many places L. cuprina are found, and the place where it has been known to cause the most havoc. Their wide distribution is due to movement patterns and the traveling of humans and livestock within the last century. Although they can now be found worldwide, the flies’ origins are linked to afrotropical and oriental regions of the world.
L. cuprina cuprina is distributed in Neotropical, Oriental and Southern Neartic Regions, while L. cuprina dorsalis is found in Australasian, East and Sub-Saharan Afro tropical Regions.
