Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of the New Zealand parasitic blowfly Calliphora vicina (Insecta: Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
In this study, the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the New Zealand parasitic blowfly Calliphora vicina (blue bottle blowfly) field strain NZ_CalVic_NP was generated using next-generation sequencing technology and annotated.

Delayed reception of live blowfly (Calliphora vicina and Chrysomya rufifacies) larval samples: implications for minimum postmortem interval estimates [PDF]
Forensic entomology evidence collected by police and mortuary staff may be delayed in getting to the entomologist. Live samples may continue developing and alter minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimates.

Can the Necrophagous Blow Fly Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Be Reared on Plant-Based Meal? [PDF]
The use of the blow fly Calliphora vicina as a potential pollination species to augment the current reliance on honeybees (Apis mellifera) in Australian horticulture requires knowledge of how best to mass-rear this fly species.

Histological age estimation of the eggs of Calliphora vicina Robineau Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
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.

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]
Saprophagic 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
