Effect of Lorazepam on the Development of the Hairy Maggot Blow Fly, Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart): Implication for Forensic Entomology

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Entomotoxicology is based on using insect evidence recovered from a dead body to find out the cause and time of the death. Drugs can accumulate in fly larvae when they ingest the flesh of deceased persons and alter the normal development of the fly causing implications in calculating postmortem intervals.

Specificity within bird–parasite–parasitoid food webs: A novel approach for evaluating potential biological control agents of the avian vampire fly

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 8, Page 2189-2198, August 2022., 2022
Our results confirm previous laboratory studies indicating specificity by Conura annulifera and support the hypothesis that this species would produce few, if any, nontarget impacts if released into Galapagos to suppress populations of the Philornis downsi.

Intra-puparial development of the females of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Calliphoridae) Desenvolvimento intra-pupal de fêmeas de Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Calliphoridae) [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2012
Intra-puparial development of the females of Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera, Calliphoridae). The chronology and morphological changes that take place during intra-puparial development of Chrysomya albiceps is described based on 254 specimens reared in the laboratory. Larvae were obtained from the eggs laid by a single female.

Environmental Conditions Influence Allometric Patterns in the Blow Fly,Chrysomya albiceps [PDF]

Journal of Insect Science, 2011
The objective of this research was to study variations in allometry of body characters in females and males of two populations of blow flies, Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), under different environmental conditions to establish patterns of morphological variation.

Nutmeg (Myristica fragrans Houtt.) essential oil: A review on its composition, biological, and pharmacological activities

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 36, Issue 7, Page 2839-2851, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Myristica fragrans (Houtt.) is an evergreen tree native to the Maluku Islands, Indonesia. M. fragrans kernel is extensively used in Indian traditional medicines to treat various diseases. Several studies attempt to compile and interpret the pharmacological potential of Myristica fragrans (Houtt.) aqueous and various chemical extracts.

Where in Europe is Chrysomya albiceps? Modelling present and future potential distributions

NeoBiota, 2023
Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann, 1819), a species of blowfly (Diptera, Calliphoridae), historically distributed throughout Southern Europe, has recently dispersed to cooler regions in Europe, which is an intriguing phenomenon. In this work, we used Maxent software to formulate climate suitability using a machine learning technique to investigate this ...

Tenebrio molitor as a source of interesting natural compounds, their recovery processes, biological effects, and safety aspects

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 21, Issue 1, Page 148-197, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Nowadays, it is urgent to produce in larger quantities and more sustainably to reduce the gap between food supply and demand. In a circular bioeconomy vision, insects receive great attention as a sustainable alternative to satisfy food and nutritional needs.

First report of the presence of Necrodes littoralis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silphidae) on a human corpse in Italy

Journal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 66, Issue 6, Page 2511-2514, November 2021., 2021
Abstract The colonization of a human body by Necrodes littoralis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silphidae) is reported for the first time in Italy. This species is both necrophagous and predator of necrophagous fauna. The body colonized by the coleopteran was found indoors, in an advanced decomposition stage, in a suburban area of Cosenza (Calabria, Southern Italy)

Cutaneous myiasis in cats and dogs: Cases, predisposing conditions and risk factors

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 7, Issue 2, Page 378-384, March 2021., 2021
The first case of cutaneous myiasis by Calliphora vicina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in a domestic cat Felis silvestris catus (Carnivora: Felidae) in Italy was reported. An unusual case of cutaneous myiasis in a domestic dog Canis lupus familiaris (Carnivora: Canidae) caused by Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) was also reported.

Records of Chrysomya albiceps in Northern Italy: an ecological and forensic perspective [PDF]

Memórias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2009
Knowledge of the carrion-breeding insects present at a local level is important and necessary for defining the post-mortem interval. Climate changes and globalisation are affecting species ranges and population dynamics. In this note, we report the incidence of Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) on dead human bodies and carrion in Northern ...
