| a preliminary analysis of insects of medico-legal importance in curitiba, state of paraná. | a survey of the carrion fauna was made at two sites in curitiba, state of paraná, with the objective of describing the insects associated with carrion and setting up a preliminary data-base for medico-legal purposes in south brazil. vertebrate exclusion experiments were carried out in each season between 1994 and 1995 with a 250 g laboratory-bred rat (rattus norvegicus). five stages of decomposition were identified: fresh, bloated, decaying, dry and adipocere-like. some species showed seasonal a ... | 1997 | 9332590 |
| [the synanthropy of the calliphorids (insecta, diptera) of curitiba, paraná, brazil]. | the calliphorids synantropics were studied in three different environments--urban, rural and forest area--in metropolitan region of curitiba, paraná, brazil during october and december of 1996 to estimate the abundance, preferences of the adults to baits (fresh fish, bird liver and human faeces) and the synanthropic index for the most abundant species. a total of 3399 calliphorids of 13 different species were sampled: phaenicia eximia (wiedemann, 1819), phaenicia cuprina (wiedemann, 1818), phaen ... | 1998 | 9697653 |
| quantifying the potential pathogens transmission of the blowflies (diptera: calliphoridae). | to quantify the potential capability of transporting and passing infective pathogens of some blowflies (diptera: calliphoridae), mihályi's danger-index was calculated for seven species. the original equation was modified to include synanthropic information to discriminate between asynanthropic, hemisynanthropic, and eusynanthropic status. three groups were recognized, of which phaenicia cluvia and musca domestica proved the flies with lowest index value (d = 2.93 and 3.00 respectively); cochliom ... | 2003 | 12764436 |
| diptera of sanitary importance associated with composting of biosolids in argentina. | odorous compounds produced at the biosolids composting plant in bariloche (nw patagonia) attract a variety of insects, mainly belonging to the order diptera. in order to characterize these flies, collected specimens were taxonomically identified, their community characteristics were described and their sanitary and synanthropic importance and autochthonous or introduced character were determined. | 2003 | 14666301 |
| species composition and seasonal succession of saprophagous calliphorids in a rural area of córdoba: argentina. | during 2004, four experiments were carried out, one each season, in order to determine the species composition and seasonal dynamics of calliphoridae in a rural area of córdoba (argentina). two pigs (sus scrofa l.), weighing approximately 8 kg each, were used in each experiment. they were killed with a blow to the head and immediately placed in a variant of the schoenly et al. (1991) trap. one pig was exposed in the shade and the other one under direct sunlight. the insect fauna was collected da ... | 2007 | 18064353 |
| forensic use of a subtropical blowfly: the first case indicating minimum postmortem interval (mpmi) in southern brazil and first record of sarconesia chlorogaster from a human corpse. | southern brazil is unique due to its subtropical climate. here, we report on the first forensic entomology case and the first record of sarconesia chlorogaster (wiedemann) in a human corpse in this region. flies' samples were collected from a body indoors at 20°c. four species were found, but only chrysomya albiceps (wiedemann) and s. chlorogaster were used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval (mpmi). the mpmi was calculated using accumulated degree hour (adh) and developmental time. the ... | 2015 | 25425207 |
| an evaluation of sampling methods used to produce insect growth models for postmortem interval estimation. | many authors produced carrion insect development data for predicting the age of an insect from a corpse. under some circumstances, this age value is a minimum postmortem interval. there are no standard protocols for such experiments, and the literature includes a variety of sampling methods. to our knowledge, there has been no investigation of how the choice of sampling method can be expected to influence the performance of the resulting predictive model. we calculated 95 % inverse prediction co ... | 2015 | 24929639 |
| the effect of temperature on development of sarconesia chlorogaster, a blowfly of forensic importance. | the blowfly sarconesia chlorogaster (diptera: calliphoridae) is of limited forensic use in south america, due to the poorly known relationship between development time and temperature. the purpose of this study was to determine development time of s. chlorogaster at different constant temperatures, thereby enabling the forensic use of this fly. | 2015 | 26518289 |
| intrapuparial development of sarconesia chlorogaster (diptera: calliphoridae) for postmortem interval estimation (pmi). | sarconesia chlorogaster (wiedemann) (diptera: calliphoridae) is an endemic blow fly species of forensic importance in south america, and whose duration of pupal development is about 70% of the total immature development time. therefore, morphological changes during this stage, if refined, may provide greater accuracy and reliability in the calculation of minimum postmortem interval. considering the importance of this species, the main objective of this work was to identify and describe temporal ... | 2017 | 29186520 |
| climate shapes the geographic distribution of the blowfly sarconesia chlorogaster (diptera: calliphoridae): an environmental niche modeling approach. | for all species, abiotic factors directly affect performance, survival and reproduction, and consequently, their geographic distribution. species distribution models (sdms) are important tools to predict the influence of abiotic factors in species distributions and has been more applied over the years. however, these models can be built under different algorithms and using different methods to select environmental predictors, which can lead to different results. five different algorithms and two ... | 2017 | 28981671 |
