Dispersal and Predation Behavior in Larvae of Chrysomya albiceps and Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2005
Chrysomya albiceps and Chrysomya megacephala are exotic blowfly species known by producing myiasis in humans and other animals and by transmitting pathogens mechanically. C. albiceps stand out by being a facultative predator of other dipteran larvae.

Dispersal and Burial Behavior in Larvae of Chrysomya megacephala and Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera, Calliphoridae)

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2005
Blowflies use discrete and ephemeral substrates to feed their larva. After they run out of food, the larvae begin to disperse in order to find adequate places for pupation or additional food sources, a process named post-feeding larval dispersal. Briefly state the aspects and why they are important were studied in a circular arena of 25 cm in diameter ...

Growth of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) Maggots in a Morgue Cooler*

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2010
Abstract:  In estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) using maggots obtained during autopsy, the forensic entomologist makes decisions regarding the effects of low‐temperature storage of the body on the insects. In this case report, a corpse was found in an abandoned house in the residential area of Bukit Mertajam, Penang, Malaysia.

Morphology and developmental rate of blowflies Chrysomya megacephala and Chrysomya rufifacies in Thailand: application in forensic entomology

Parasitology Research, 2008
The larval morphology and developmental rate of Chrysomya megacephala (F.) and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart), the two most forensically important blowfly species in Thailand, are presented. Morphological comparison of the third instar of both species revealed different characteristics (e.g., body appearance, cephalopharyngeal skeleton, dorsal ...

Biological activity of neolignans on the post-embryonic development of Chrysomya megacephala

Fitoterapia, 2007
Phytochemicals endowed with hormonal, antihormonal, or toxic activity are potential agents for insect control. The effect of some neolignans on one of the most prevalent flies in urban areas, which constitutes a menace to public health, was investigated.

Puparial case hydrocarbons of Chrysomya megacephala as an indicator of the postmortem interval

Forensic Science International, 2007
The puparial case is one of the most common 'stages' of necrophagous flies encountered in crime investigations of highly decomposed corpses. If methods for determining the weathering time of these puparial cases are developed, it is possible that the postmortem interval (PMI) could be estimated accordingly.

Life table of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae)

Acta Oecologica, 2005
The life history of the oriental latrine fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius), was studied at 26 °C in the laboratory. The raw data were analyzed based on the age‐stage, two-sex life table, in order to take both sexes and the variable developmental rate among individuals and between sexes into consideration.

Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) larvae: A new biodiesel resource

Applied Energy, 2012
Abstract The current energy crisis greatly affects worldwide economic development. Therefore, identifying for new energy resources is critically important. In this study, we introduce a potential biodiesel source: Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) larvae (CML), which are proliferative and can be fed with a variety of low cost materials, such as ...

Ultramorphological characteristics of Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera, Calliphoridae) eggs and its eclosion

Micron, 2008
Chrysomya blowflies are originally from Africa and Australasia and were introduced in the American Continent, probably as a sheep parasite, in the 1970s. These flies are extremely important for medical-sanitary purposes and are useful to forensic entomology being used as an indicative of decomposition time in human corpses. The morphology of the larval

Analysis of the Effect of Cyclophosphamide and Methotrexate on Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae),

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2018
AbstractForensic entomotoxicology investigates the effects of chemical substances in the development of scavenger insects and the reflection on estimating the minimum postmortem interval (PMI). To evaluate the impact of the chemotherapeutic drugs cyclophosphamide (CF) and methotrexate (MTX) on the postembryonic development of Chrysomya megacephala ...
