Large carrion is inhabited by highly variable and interactive communities of insects.Positive interactions in carrion insect communities have been recently the focus in carrion ecology.In contrast,competition between ...
Introduction:Calliphoridae plays a key role in forensic entomology research,which is one of the first insects to decompose animal carcasses.The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and the ribosomal internal t...
Myiasis is considered a serious medical condition in animals and humans that occurs predominantly in tropical countries.Cochliomyia hominivorax is one of the main fly species that causes myiasis and the actual geograp...
The thermoregulation behavior ofLucilia sericata larvae (Diptera: Calliphori- dae), a necrophagous species that feeds on vertebrate cadavers, was investigated. These larvae require high heat incomes to develop, and...
Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius,1794) occurs on every continent and is closely associated with carrion and decaying material in human environments.Its abilities to find dead bodies and carry pathogens give it a promi...
Aging blow fly eggs can be critical to a forensic investigation,but there are currently no forensically useful timelines describing internal anatomical changes in embryological development.This is partly due to the la...
Knowledge of necrophagous insects' developmental data is necessary for the forensic entomologist to estimate a reliable minimum postmortem interval (PMImin).Among the most represented necrophagous species,Lucilia seri...
Common DNA-based species determination methods fail to distinguish some blow flies in the forensically and medically important genus Lucilia Robineau-Desvoidy.This is a practical problem,and it has also been interpret...

Blow flies are worldwide the most important insects from a forensic point of view.In Thailand,aside from the two most common species,Chrysomya megacephala (F.) and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart),Chrysomya chani Kurah...
