| hairy maggot of chrysomya villeneuvi (diptera: calliphoridae), a fly species of forensic importance. | we reported on the hairy maggot of chrysomya villeneuvi patton, collected from a human corpse in thailand. although the general morphology of the third instar closely resembled the more common hairy maggot blow fly, chrysomya rufifacies (macquart), the spines along the tubercles of each body segment could be used as a feature to distinguish between these species, with those of c. villeneuri bearing sharp-ended spines that encircle the entire tubercle. not only has the resemblance of a hairy appe ... | 2003 | 14765679 |
| morphology of second and third instars of chrysomya villeneuvi patton (diptera: calliphoridae), a fly species of forensic importance. | the morphology of the second and third instars of chrysomya villeneuvi patton, a fly species of forensic importance, was presented by use of light microscopy. both instars were of hairy appearance, bearing elongated tubercles along the abdominal and caudal segments. the anterior spiracle had 13-15 papillae. minute dark spots were observed to thoroughly cover the tubercle's surface, with 4-6 strong dark tips. regarding the third instar, the intersegmental spines between the prothorax and mesothor ... | 2004 | 16182965 |
| 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 |
| morphological comparison between chrysomya rufifacies (macquart) and chrysomya villeneuvi patton (diptera: calliphoridae) puparia, forensically important blow flies. | in thailand, the hairy maggots of the blow flies, chrysomya rufifacies (macquart) and chrysomya villeneuvi patton, are of forensic importance. both flies are closely related species, not only in the morphological appearance of their larvae and puparia, but also on the aggressive feeding habit of the former. in our continuing studies of forensically important flies, identification of immature ones needs particular attention. in this study, we reported the morphological comparison between the pupa ... | 2006 | 16527437 |
| 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 |
| identifying fly puparia by clearing technique: application to forensic entomology. | in forensic investigations, immature stages of the fly (egg, larva, or puparia) can be used as entomological evidence at death scenes, not only to estimate the postmortem interval (pmi), analyze toxic substances, and to determine the manner of death but also to indicate the movement of a corpse in homicide cases. of these immature stages, puparia represent the longest developmental time, which makes them of useful. however, in order for forensic entomologists to use puparia effectively, it is cr ... | 2007 | 17687570 |
| review of forensically important entomological specimens collected from human cadavers in malaysia (2005-2010). | forensic entomological specimens collected from human decedents during crime scene investigations in malaysia in the past 6 years (2005-2010) are reviewed. a total of 80 cases were recorded and 93 specimens were collected. from these specimens, 10 species of cyclorrphagic flies were identified, consisting of chrysomya rufifacies (macquart) -38 specimens (40.86%), chrysomya megacephala (fabricius) -36 specimens (38.70%), chrysomya villeneuvi (patton) -2 specimens (2.15%), chrysomya nigripes (aube ... | 2013 | 23756518 |
| occurrence of oriental flies associated with indoor and outdoor human remains in the tropical climate of north malaysia. | flies attracted to human remains during death investigations were surveyed in north peninsular malaysia. six families, eight genera, and 16 species were identified from human remains, with the greatest fly diversity occurring on remains recovered indoors. the total relative frequency of species was led by chrysomya megacephala (fabricius, 1794) (46%), followed by chrysomya rufifacies (macquart, 1842) (22%), sarcophaga (liopygia) ruficornis (fabricius, 1974) (5%), sarcophaga spp. (4%), synthesiom ... | 2012 | 22548537 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| forensically important blow flies chrysomya pinguis, c. villeneuvi, and lucilia porphyrina (diptera: calliphoridae) in a case of human remains in thailand. | this is the first study to report chrysomya pinguis (walker) and lucilia porphyrina (walker) (diptera: calliphoridae) as forensically important blow fly species from human cadavers in thailand, in addition to chrysomya villeneuvi (patton) already known in thailand. in 2016, a fully decomposed body of an unknown adult male was discovered in a high mountainous forest during winter in chiang mai province. the remains were infested heavily with thousands of blow fly larvae feeding simultaneously on ... | 2017 | 28285509 |
