Age-dependent gene expression of Calliphora vicina pupae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) at constant and fluctuating temperatures. [PDF]
Int J Legal Med, 2021 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).

Survival of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) embryos under cold temperature conditions: forensic implications. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolCold temperatures significantly reduce survival in early‐stage Calliphora vicina embryos (0%–20% development). Calliphora vicina embryos of later developmental stages (40%–80% development), however, have shown high tolerance to cold temperatures, with very high survival rates.

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]
Med Vet EntomolPrediction 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.

Calliphora vicina human myiasis: a case report [PDF]
Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2011 A 30-year-old man with a history of cocaine and alcohol abuse attempted suicide by jumping into a canyon in the afternoon of a warm day of summer 2011. He was found alive after 24 h, with a contused and lacerated scalp wound, several hematomas and bruises all over the body.

Molecular and pharmacological characterization of serotonin 5-HT2α and 5-HT7 receptors in the salivary glands of the blowfly calliphora vicina [PDF]
, 2012 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 ...

A novel strain sensor based on the campaniform sensillum of insects. [PDF]
, 2002 The functional design of the campaniform sensillum was modelled as a hole in a plate using two– and three–dimensional finite–element modelling. Different shapes of opening in a fibrous composite plate amplify differently the global strains imposed on the

Unexpected Evolutionary Divergence of Tachykinin-Positive Neurons Innervating the Central Complex in Hexapods. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolThe central complex is a group of midline‐spanning neuropils in the brain of insects with a key role in goal‐directed orientation and navigation. Immunolabeling in 25 species, ranging from bristletails to flies, shows that neurons containing peptides of the tachykinin family of neuropeptides are present in most species studied.

Effects of ante-mortem use of methadone on insect succession patterns
Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2021 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.
