Age-dependent gene expression of Calliphora vicina pupae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) at constant and fluctuating temperatures. [PDF]
Estimating the age of the developmental stages of the blow fly Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is of forensic relevance for the determination of the minimum post-mortem interval (PMImin).

Fluoxetine influence on the development of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
Fluoxetine is a selective inhibitor of serotonin reuptake and can be found in clinical and forensic cases. Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a dipteran of medical and forensic interest.

A methodological approach to age estimation of the intra-puparial period of the forensically relevant blow fly Calliphora vicina via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. [PDF]
Prediction of the intra‐puparial age of C. vicina was possible based on ATR‐FTIR‐absorption spectra. For age estimation, the full spectral range from 3700 to 600 cm−1 and the use of support vector machines resulted in the most accurate predictions.

Molecular and pharmacological characterization of serotonin 5-HT2α and 5-HT7 receptors in the salivary glands of the blowfly calliphora vicina [PDF]
Secretion in blowfly (Calliphora vicina) salivary glands is stimulated by the biogenic amine serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), which activates both inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP3)/Ca2+ and cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) signalling ...

Effects of ante-mortem use of methadone on insect succession patterns
Background Evaluation of insect succession patterns is a scientific method to estimate the time elapsed since death. Several studies have shown that ante-mortem intake of opioids affect maggot growth rate.

Tarsal and labellar taste hairs of the bluebottle, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy:Location, sensitivity to salts, mechanism of stimulation [PDF]
In both males and females of the bluebottle, Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (=C. erythrocephala Meigen), the labellar hairs are arranged in a systematic pattern, so that the hairs can be identified individually.
