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 EntomolEstimating the age of immature blow flies is of great importance for forensic entomology. However, no gold‐standard technique for an accurate determination of the intra‐puparial age has yet been established. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy

Survival of Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) embryos under cold temperature conditions: forensic implications. [PDF]
Med Vet EntomolMost blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) species are sarcosaprophagous during the larval stage, primarily feeding on the soft tissues of carcasses during the early stages of decomposition, making them valuable forensic indicators for minimum post‐mortem ...

Effects of clonazepam and flunitrazepam on the development cycle of Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy 1830 and their forensic implications [PDF]
Scientific ReportsBenzodiazepines are commonly identified in drug overdose deaths worldwide. However, research on their effects on the most common necrophagous insect species is limited.

Climate Change Helps Polar Invasives Establish and Flourish: Evidence from Long-Term Monitoring of the Blowfly Calliphora vicina [PDF]
Biology, 2023 The isolated sub-Antarctic islands are of major ecological interest because of their unique species diversity and long history of limited human disturbance. However, since the presence of Europeans, these islands and their sensitive biota have been under

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

Dodecanol, metabolite of entomopathogenic fungus Conidiobolus coronatus, affects fatty acid composition and cellular immunity of Galleria mellonella and Calliphora vicina [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 One group of promising pest control agents are the entomopathogenic fungi; one such example is Conidiobolus coronatus, which produces a range of metabolites. Our present findings reveal for the first time that C.

Can the Necrophagous Blow Fly Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Be Reared on Plant-Based Meal? [PDF]
InsectsThe 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.

Establishment of a multiplex PCR-CE assay for the simultaneous and rapid analysis of age markers for Calliphora vicina pupae. [PDF]
Int J Legal Med, 2023 Insects, especially blow flies, are forensically relevant to determine the minimal postmortem interval (PMI_min), based on the fact that they are usually the first colonisers of a body.
