Diptera in the Forensic Investigation of Human Deaths in Great Britain and the Dominant Role of Calliphora vicina (Calliphoridae) in Estimating a Minimum Post-Mortem Interval [PDF]
InsectsSaprophagic flies can have a vital role in forensic investigations of suspicious death by providing an estimate of the minimum post-mortem interval (minPMI). An exemplar blow fly species, Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae), is frequently reported

The Role of Olfaction in Orientation of Blowflies to Hosts or Odorous Baited Traps
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 Traumatic myiasis is a serious threat for worldwide sheep flocks. It is known that the blowflies’ abundance and occurrence of strikes could be diminished by traps use. The aim of this study was to ascertain the role of olfaction in blowflies’ orientation
