Breeding of Ornidia obesa (Diptera: Syrphidae: Eristalinae) on Pig Carcasses in Brazil
(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2010)
On Mho obesa F. (Diptera: Syrphidae) is usually neglected in forensic entomology, although adults are rather frequent on vertebrate carrion. In this study, conducted in southeastern Brazil in 2008, we used two pig carcasses, ...
Taxa de desenvolvimento de Chrysomya albiceps(Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) em dieta artificial acrescida de tecido animal para uso forense
(Entomological Soc Brasil, 2009-03-01)
Forensic entomology uses biological and ecological aspects of necrophagous insects to help in criminal investigations to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI) or to determine the cause of death. Recent papers demonstrated ...
Decomposition and dipteran succession in pig carrion in central Argentina: ecological aspects and their importance in forensic science
(Wiley-blackwell Publishing, IncMaldenEUA, 2010)
Effect of architectural angularity on refugia selection by the brown spider, Loxosceles gaucho
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-09-01)
Some brown spider species infest man-made environments and pose a threat to human health. Because habitat architecture affects spider populations, I evaluated the preferences of individuals of Loxosceles gaucho (Gertsch) ...
Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Developmental Rate on Artificial Diet with Animal Tissues for Forensic Purpose
(Entomological Soc BrasilLondrina,Brasil, 2009)
Cephalotes clypeatus Fabricius (Hymenoptera : Formicidae): Nesting habits and occurrence in animal carcass
(Entomological Society BrasilLondrina,Brasil, 2006)
Synanthropy of Sarcophagidae (Diptera) in southeastern Brazil
(2016-12-01)
Sarcophagidae (Diptera) are potential vectors of several pathogens. They are also very important in forensic entomology, providing basic information on the circumstances of death. The objective of this study was to determine ...
Spatial Distribution of the Risk of Dengue and the Entomological Indicators in Sumare, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil
(Public Library Science, 2014-05-01)
Dengue fever is a major public health problem worldwide, caused by any of four virus (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV4; Flaviviridae: Flavivirus), transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquito. Reducing the levels of infestation ...
Determining the season of death from the family composition of insects infesting carrion
(CZECH ACAD SCI, INST ENTOMOLOGY, 2011)
Determining the season of death by means of the composition of the families of insects infesting carrion is rarely attempted in forensic studies and has never been statistically modelled. For this reason, a baseline-category ...
Bait and Habitat Preferences, and Temporal Variability of Social Wasps (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) Attracted to Vertebrate Carrion
(ENTOMOLOGICAL SOC AMER, 2011)
In addition to feeding on carrion tissues and fluids, social wasps can also prey on immature and adult carrion flies, thereby reducing their populations and retarding the decomposition process of carcasses. In this study, ...
