Significance and Impact of the Study: The high diversity of Diptera (Insecta) species (>157 000) worldwide, feeding habits, and the access to contaminated environments, make these insects potential vector-borne of more than 200 pathogens to humans and animals. Here, 217 adult specimens of Diptera were collected in the environment of nine dairy farms with a history of clinical mastitis. From these, 275 microorganisms were identified, with a predominance of pathogens related to environmental bovine mastitis (Enterococcus spp. and Escherichia coli), in addition to agents with well-known zoonotic nature (e.g. Bacillus cereus), indicating that control of this insect in dairy farms pose relevance in human and animal health.

Resumo Esta é a primeira vez que se registra a veiculação de ovos de Dermatobia hominis (L.) (Insecta, Diptera, Oestridae) por Fannia punctipennis (Albuquerque) (para o Sudeste do Brasil) e por Fannia canicularis (L.) (para a América do Sul) (Insecta, Diptera, Fanniidae), respectivamente.Phoresy record of Dermatobia hominis (L.) (Diptera, Oestridae) eggs by Fannia canicularis (L.) and Fannia punctipennis (Albuquerque)(Diptera, Fanniidae) in São Paulo, Brazil Abstract This is the first record of Dermatobia hominis (L.) (Insecta, Diptera, Oestridae) eggs carried by Fannia punctipennis (Albuquerque) (for Southeast Brazil) and by Fannia canicularis (L.) (for South America) (Insecta, Diptera, Fanniidae), respectively.

Synthesiomyia nudiseta (van der Wulp, 1883) (Insecta, Diptera, Muscidae) is widely distributed in the Neotropical region. It may be associated with decomposing bodies due to its necrophagous habit, for this reason it gains importance in the forensic field. Temperature is one of the most important extrinsic factors in the life of insects because it directly affects their metabolism. In the literature only data on the development time of forensically important insects under controlled temperature are available. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the rate of development of S. nudiseta under alternating temperatures. The results obtained here may be useful for obtaining more accurate development models to estimate the time of death in criminal events.

Information about biology, ecology, geographic distribution and correct identification of insects within the forensic scope are necessary since it is from this knowledge that the post mortem interval can be estimated in cases of violent crimes. Thus, in the present study, informative-illustrative cards of the main families of Coleoptera with forensic medical-criminal relevance were elaborated. The information contained was selected from the literature (from articles and books), emphasizing data on the status of relevance for the forensic area, if there are and how many are the records of cases in Brazil using these beetles and, finally, the general diagnosis for the members of each family, including images of representative specimens for each family produced in the laboratory.
