Impact of Comingled Heterospecific Assemblages on Developmentally Based Estimates of the Post-Mortem Interval-A Study with Lucilia sericata (Meigen), Phormia regina (Meigen) and Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae). [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary In forensic entomology, blow flies are often the first insects to arrive to decomposing remains. The development rates of blow flies are used to estimate the minimum amount of time between death and discovery of the remains, or post-mortem

Technical Note: Effects of Makeshift Storage in Different Liquors on Larvae of the Blowflies Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae). [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Simple Summary Sometimes, police need to collect fly maggots as evidence. If the proper equipment is not at hand, alternatives might need to be found. This evidence can later be given to a forensic entomologist for further examination.

Impact of Methamphetamine on the Development of the Forensically Important Species Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [PDF]
Journal of Arthropod-Borne DiseasesBackground: Drugs or poisons can affect the larvae's developmental period in cadavers, leading to variations in the post-mortem interval (PMI) calculation. One of the most misused psychostimulant drugs in Asia and North America, Methamphetamine (MA), is

Effectiveness of Chronic Wound Debridement with the Use of Larvae of Lucilia Sericata. [PDF]
J Clin Med, 2019 The process of successful wound healing depends on effective debridement and infection control. One method of wound debridement, known since antiquity, is based on the use of fly larvae.
