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

Gene expression correlates of facultative predation in the blow fly Chrysomya rufifacies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
Effects of intraguild predation (IGP) on omnivores and detritivores are relatively understudied when compared to work on predator guilds. Functional genetic work in IGP is even more limited, but its application can help answer a range of questions ...

Delayed reception of live blowfly (Calliphora vicina and Chrysomya rufifacies) larval samples: implications for minimum postmortem interval estimates [PDF]
Forensic entomology evidence collected by police and mortuary staff may be delayed in getting to the entomologist. Live samples may continue developing and alter minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimates.

A Comparative Analysis of the Responses of Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) and Chrysomya rufifacies (Macqart) (Calliphoridae) to Different Reflectance Levels of Green and Yellow Light Hues [PDF]
Proximate visual cues play a crucial role for flies (Order: Diptera) in locating suitable foraging and oviposition sites. This study examined the behavioural responses of two sheep myiasis-causing blowfly species in Australia, Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann)

Temperature Effects on the Survival and Oviposition of an Invasive Blow Fly Chrysomya rufifacies Macquart (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
The globally increased severity and frequency of elevated temperatures are altering native species’ geographic distributions and local abundances while also increasing the invasion of new areas by exotic species. These distributional shifts have affected

First Report and Phylogenetic Analysis of Mitochondrial Genomes of Chrysomya villeneuvi and Sarcophaga genuforceps [PDF]
The mitochondrial genome, highly conserved across species, is crucial for species identification, phylogenetic analysis, and evolutionary research. Chrysomya villeneuvi and Sarcophaga genuforceps, two species with significant forensic value, have been ...

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.
