Amitriptyline Accumulation and Elimination in Calliphora vicina Larvae

The American Journal of Forensic Medicine and Pathology, 1997
Calliphora vicina larvae reared on artificial foodstuffs spiked with human equivalent therapeutic (100 ng/g), toxic (300 ng/g), lethal (500 ng/g), and 10 x lethal (5,000 ng/g) concentrations of amitriptyline and nortriptyline, alone and in various combinations, were harvested at various stages of development and analysed for drug content by high ...

Impact of paracetamol on Calliphora vicina larval development

International Journal of Legal Medicine, 2004
This paper demonstrates that blowfly larval development is slightly impacted by paracetamol if present in the rearing foodstuff particularly during days 2-4 of development. Since paracetamol and similar analgesic drugs are involved in a large number of overdose deaths each year this information is of importance where blowfly growth is used to estimate ...

Drug accumulation and elimination in Calliphora vicina larvae

Forensic Science International, 1995
Calliphora vicina larvae were fed on drug-laden muscle from three suicides involving amitriptyline, temazepam and a combination of trazodone and trimipramine; triplicate daily harvestings were analysed. The limit of detection for all four drugs was 0.01 micrograms drug/g larvae.

The effect of postmortem penetrative trauma on oviposition behavior of Calliphora vicina

Forensic Science International, 2023
Flies in the family Calliphoridae are purported to demonstrate a strong attraction to and preferential colonization of wounds when present on human corpses or carrion. This well-circulated concept in Forensic Entomology is based on surprisingly few empirical studies that have examined the oviposition behavior of necrophagous Diptera toward wounds of ...

The photoperiodic clock in the blowfly Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1990
Abstract The blowfly, Calliphora vicina Meigen (Diptera: Calliphoridae), displays a maternally induced larval diapause. The critical nightlength for adult flies at 23.5°C and larvae derived from eggs deposited on days 10–14 and maintained in darkness at 11°C, is about 10 h 45 min and thus about 1 h longer than at 20°C.

Maternal induction of larval diapause in the blowefly, Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1972
Abstract Diapause induction in the larvae of Calliphora vicina is under maternal control and is determined by a maternally operated photoperiod. This blowfly is a long-day insect and its critical daylength lies between 15 and 16 hr of light per day.

Influence of food substrates on the development of the blowflies Calliphora vicina and Calliphora vomitoria (Diptera, Calliphoridae)

Parasitology Research, 2013
The blowflies Calliphora vicina and Calliphora vomitoria are among the first colonizers of human remains in Europe. Laboratory development studies with immature stages of these blowflies for postmortem interval (PMI) calculations are generally performed on different media such as processed food substrates or liver of various animals.

Life Tables for Musca vicina and Calliphora erythrocephala.

Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, 1946
SUMMARY.Life tables for the imago of Musca vicina and Calliphora erythrocephala were compiled from flies kept under controlled conditions. Musca were fed on diluted milk and Calliphora on 10% sugar solution and chicken liver.In Musca females are slightly longer lived than males and the contrary is true for Calliphora.The survivorship curves, and more ...

Phenoloxidases in larval cuticle of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina

Insect Biochemistry, 1981
Three different phenoloxidases have been purified from the cuticle of mature larvae of the blowfly, Calliphora vicina. Enzyme A is a typical tyrosinase (EC 1.10.3.1., o-diphenol: O2 oxidoreductase). It oxidizes both monophenols and o-diphenols, is inactive towards p-diphenols, and is readily inhibited by thiourea and phenylthiourea. Enzymes B and C are

The pattern of reactivation of diapausing larvae in the blowfly, Calliphora vicina

Journal of Insect Physiology, 1974
Abstract In Calliphora vicina from Belomorsk (North Karelia) the pattern of reactivation of diapausing larvae at different temperatures (4, 12·5, 15·5, 20, and 25°C) was studied experimentally. Most favourable in this respect are the first and last temperatures. Photoperiodic reactivation was established.
