“…The high abundance and frequency of T. zealandicus, plus its ability to infest important fly species, such as M. domestica (Legner, 1967), Cochliomyia hominivorax Coquerel, 1858 (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Silveira et al, 1989), Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) (Costa, 1989), Chrysomya putoria (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Monteiro and Prado, 2000), Sarconesia chlorogaster Wiedemann, 1830 (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Lecheta and Luz, 2015) and Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1794) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) (Moretti and Ribeiro, 2006), make this species a potential biological control agent of these dipterans in Southern Brazil.…”

First list of parasitoids in flies of medical, veterinary, and forensic importance in Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil

Necrophagous flies are of great importance for human and animal health. In places where their development occurs, parasitoids can be used as a tool to control these dipterans. In Brazil, the fauna of these parasitoids has been investigated in some regions. However, in Rio Grande do Sul, it is known the occurrence of only one species. Thus, this study aimed to create the first list of parasitoids in flies of medical and veterinary importance in Southern Brazil. Collections took place in the municipality of Pelotas (31º 42’ S; 52º 18’ W). Three replicates consisting of a 500 g bovine liver chunk placed in a tray were exposed to open air for 20 days. Then pupae were individualized and observed until their emergence. We identified 4,882 adult flies of Calliphoridae, Fanniidae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae. 4,040 parasitoids emerged, belonging to eight species, of which Nasonia vitripennis, Spalangia cameroni, Spalangia chontalensis, and Tachinephagus zealandicus are new records in Rio Grande do Sul state. Also, three undescribed species of the genus Aphaereta were collected. In spite of being the first attempt to inventory the fauna of hymenopteran parasitoids, this study may help in the development of management programs of these dipterans in the region.

“…After complete decomposition of the carcass, larvae and pupae were removed from the plastic packaging, then exposed to the environment and placed in a plastic pot containing vermiculite, a substrate for pupariation of the larvae. These pots were kept in the entomology laboratory at a temperature of 25±1ºC and a relative humidity of 60±10%, to monitor the emergence of adults (Figure 61) [57] .…”

Adults of the Calliphoridae family are attracted to the odor generated by the wounds of all types of vertebrates, but they can also be found in flowers and foliage. Eggs are laid in substrates such as feces, carrion, necrotic tissue or healthy open-wounded tissue from which there the larvae develop. Adults primarily feed on exudates from previous substrates. The objective of this work is to investigate the biology, ecology, habitat, geographic distribution, taxonomy, life cycle, phenology, biological control, and work done on the Calliphoridae family (Insecta: Calliphoridae). A literature search involving articles published between 1950 and 2022 was conducted in order to carry out research related to quantitative, taxonomic, and conceptual aspects. A mini-review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás, between September and October 2021, by means of the Biological Abstracts, Periodicals CAPES and Scielo.

“…The data available for most species relates to their potential as biological control agents of filth flies, namely muscids, which generally do not translate to carrion communities, or the parasitoids of such flies are not encountered on animal remains [29,38]. Despite these limitations, several parasitoids have been collected from forensically important flies in Australia, Europe, South America, and United States, and thereby are purported to be potential forensic indicator species [25,29,36,37,[39][40][41]. In Section 3.1, an examination of whether such potential truly exists for parasitic Hymenoptera is discussed, as will the areas of parasitoid biology in need of further investigation to put them in line as alternative forensic indicator species.…”

Forensic Analysis - From Death to Justice

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Necrophagous insects are the most important ecological evidence associated with a decomposing corpse. Insects provide insight into estimating the post-mortem interval PMI , assessing whether a corpse has been moved, use in toxicological analyses, and provide utility in surveillance and as sniffer systems. Necrophagous Diptera are regarded as the most important forensic indicator species, largely because they colonize a corpse within minutes of death. Other types of carrion-inhabiting insects also offer value, although more limited than flies, to forensic investigations. Perhaps, the most neglected of these groups is the parasitic Hymenoptera, a group comprising several species that utilize necrophagous flies as natural hosts. Parasitic wasps extend the PMI window to include the period of time after necrophagous flies have emerged to when a corpse is discovered. Wasp host preferences and seasonal occurrences can reveal if a body was moved from another location prior to discovery. Foraging behavior of adults can be used to locate concealed bodies and potentially aid in combating entomological terrorism agents. Presently, the full potential of parasitic Hymenoptera as alternate forensic indicator species has not been explored. This chapter relates the life history characteristics of parasitic wasps to their potential usefulness in forensic applications.
