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

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.

Effects of Metformin Hydrochloride on Development and Survival in the Blow Fly Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius)

Indian Journal of Entomology
Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a key forensic indicator species used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval (minPMI). However, the presence of pharmaceuticals, such as metformin hydrochloride (an antidiabetic agent) may disrupt ...

Evaluation of blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Calliphoridae: Diptera) as an alternate source of protein in broiler feed

Journal of Insects as Food and Feed
Poultry industry is one of the fastest growing agri-businesses in the world. However, the usage of expensive soybean meal and fishmeal as poultry feed ingredients is making it less profitable and environmentally unsustainable.

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 ...

Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Oviposition Behavior in Previous Oviposition Situation

Neotropical Entomology, 2016
Blowflies use their sense of smell to locate oviposition substrates and their vision to direct and assist in landing decision. Blowflies' ovipositions are usually aggregated. Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) females, for example, prefer to lay eggs on substrates containing fresh eggs of the same species.

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 ...
