forensic entomology cases in thailand: a review of cases from 2000 to 2006. | this paper presents and discusses 30 cases of cadavers that had been transferred for forensic entomology investigations to the department of forensic medicine, faculty of medicine, chiang mai university, northern thailand, from 2000 to 2006. variable death scenes were determined, including forested area and suburban and urban outdoor and indoor environments. the fly specimens found in the corpses obtained were the most commonly of the blow fly of family calliphoridae, and consisted of chrysomya ... | 2007 | 17647017 |
the importance of habitat in the ecology of decomposition on rabbit carcasses in malaysia: implications in forensic entomology. | the stages of decomposition and the faunal succession on rabbit carcasses in three different habitats, namely jungle, rural, and highland areas, were studied. three new zealand white rabbit (oryctolagus cuniculus) carcasses weighing ∼2 kg were sampled daily until the decomposition process was completed. representative specimens of adult flies, larvae, pupa, and mites were collected from the carcasses and processed in the laboratory. there were differences in decomposition rate and faunal success ... | 2015 | 26336275 |
[the community succession of sarcosaphagous insects on pig carcasses in summer indoor and outdoor environment in shenzhen area]. | to explore the growing development and community succession of main sarcosaphagous insects on pig carcasses in summer indoor and outdoor environment in shenzhen area and to estimate the postmortem interval (pmi). | 2014 | 25272869 |
ultrastructure of male genitalia of blow flies (diptera: calliphoridae) of forensic importance. | male genitalia of blow flies (diptera: calliphoridae) are distinctive in their morphological features and are often used for species identification. the aim of this work was to investigate the male genitalia of blow flies of medical and forensic importance from thailand at the ultrastructural level, using scanning electron microscopy (sem). flies in two subfamilies were examined: chrysomyinae [chrysomya bezziana villeneuve, chrysomya chani kurahashi, chrysomya nigripes aubertin, chrysomya pingui ... | 2017 | 29248415 |
ultrastructure of adhesive device in fly in families calliphoridae, muscidae and sarcophagidae, and their implication as mechanical carriers of pathogens. | the ultrastructure of adhesive device or the pulvilli, pad-like structure between the tarsal claws of the legs, is presented in the blowfly (calliphoridae), housefly and relatives (muscidae), and flesh fly (sarcophagidae) through scanning electron microscopy. the blowfly species were chrysomya chani, chrysomya nigripes, chrysomya pinguis, and chrysomya villeneuvi; while those of the housefly and relatives were musca domestica and hydrotaea chalcogaster, respectively. fresh fly species included b ... | 2006 | 16416126 |
surface ultrastructure of prestomal teeth of some flies in the families calliphoridae, muscidae and sarcophagidae. | prestomal teeth of flies in the families calliphoridae (chrysomya pinguis, chrysomya villeneuvi, and chrysomya chani), muscidae (hydrotaea (= ophyra) chalcogaster) and sarcophagidae (boettcherisca peregrina) were presented using scanning electron microscopy. the slight to deep bifurcation of the tips of their teeth were similarly observed in all species examined. the anatomical feature of prestomal teeth of the flies examined may contribute to the understanding of their feeding behavior and the ... | 2005 | 15924225 |
dna-based identification of forensically important blow flies (diptera: calliphoridae) from india. | correct species identification is the first and the most important criteria in entomological evidence-based postmortem interval (pmi) estimation. although morphological keys are available for species identification of adult blow flies, keys for immature stages are either lacking or are incomplete. in this study, cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (coi) reference data were developed from nine species (belonging to three subfamilies, namely, calliphorinae, luciliinae, and chrysomyinae) of blow flies fro ... | 2017 | 28419283 |
