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.
Both the advancement of technology associated with molecular characterization studies of species have contributed to the increased use of the Barcode DNA method for identifying individuals. For some areas, such as forensics, species determination is essential for information regarding the time of death. In this study, Fannia nucleotide sequences available in public databases were quantified and used to evaluate the scenario and the challenge to establish molecular research with fanids in Brazil.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
