The uses of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in forensic entomology. [PDF]

open access: yesForensic Sci Res, 2018
Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) occurs on every continent and is closely associated with carrion and decaying material in human environments. Its abilities to find dead bodies and carry pathogens give it a prominence in human affairs that may involve prosecution or litigation, and therefore forensic entomologists.

The Blowfly <i>Chrysomya megacephala</i> as a Vector of Pathogens Associated with Infectious Diseases. [PDF]

open access: yesPathogens
Chrysomya megacephala is a synanthropic fly with a high potential to act as a mechanical vector of pathogenic bacteria, surpassing Musca domestica in both bacterial load and diversity. Native to Asia and Africa, it has become a cosmopolitan species, successfully adapting to a wide range of environments, including natural ecosystems.

Network analysis with either Illumina or MinION reveals that detecting vertebrate species requires metabarcoding of iDNA from a diverse fly community

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 23, Page 6418-6435, December 2023., 2023
Abstract DNA obtained from invertebrates (iDNA) can be metabarcoded in order to survey vertebrate communities. However, little attention has been paid to the interaction between the invertebrate and vertebrate species. Here, we tested for specialization by sampling the dung and carrion fly community of a swamp forest remnant along a disturbance ...

Larval predation on different instars in blowfly populations

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2004
During its larval stage, Chrysomya albiceps (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a facultative predator on other blowflies. In this study, we evaluated the predation by third instar larvae of C.

Forensic entomology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Riječ forenzika ima korijen u latinskom jeziku, a označavala je forum na kojem se u antičko doba raspravljalo o svim iznesenim činjenicama vezanim uz neko kriminalno djelo. Nakon završetka rasprave izrekla bi se sudbina osumnjičenika.

Effect of carcass model on maggot distribution and thermal generation of two forensically important blowfly species, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macquart)

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2018
Background At feeding stage, blowfly larvae (Diptera: Calliphoridae) form aggregation to facilitate the breakdown of a human body after death. The aggregation structure of blowfly larvae could probably be different depending on fly species and food size.
