“…Stored product entomology is used to assess biosecurity risks associated with food contamination and environmental pollution [ 13 ]. The last category, medicolegal entomology, uses insect-based evidence to investigate numerous criminal activities associated with homicides, suspicious fatalities, abuse of vulnerable people, hospital neglect, animal cruelty, contraband trafficking, and wildlife poaching [ 9 , 10 , 14 ].…”

Forensic entomology is a branch of forensic science that incorporates insects as a part of solving crime. Insect-based evidence recovered at a crime scene can be used to estimate the minimum postmortem interval, determine if a carcass/corpse has been relocated, and contribute to the cause and manner of death. The current review summarises the stepwise usage of forensic entomology methods at a crime scene and in the laboratory, including specimen collection and rearing, identification, xenobiotic detection, documentation, and referencing previous research and casework. It also provides three standards for the collection of insects when attending a crime scene. The Gold standard attributes to a forensic entomologist (FE) who is likely to be well-trained attending a scene. The subsequent standards (Silver and Bronze) have been added because the authors believe that this information is currently missing in the literature. The purpose is so that an attending crime scene agent/proxy with some basic knowledge and some simple tools can recover almost all the insect information required by an FE to make the best estimation of the minimum postmortem interval.

“…Despite the benefits of using animal models for human remains studies, animal-focused forensic investigations have lagged behind their human counterparts in the adoption of advanced technologies for veterinary forensics. In recent years, technologically advanced molecular, genetic, chemical, and statistical analyses of human applications have benefited investigations in the realm of conservation [ 5 ] and wildlife mortality [ 6 ]. Molecular and genetic advances have great utility in cases of animal abuse [ 7 ], illegal animal trade and hunting [ 8 , 9 ], meat fraud [ 10 ], and disease outbreaks [ 11 ].…”

Prion forensics: a multidisciplinary approach to investigate CWD at an illegal deer carcass disposal site

Infectious prions are resistant to degradation and remain infectious in the environment for several years. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) has been detected in cervids inhabiting North America, the Nordic countries, and South Korea. CWD-prion spread is partially attributed to carcass transport and disposal. We employed a forensic approach to investigate an illegal carcass dump site connected with a CWD-positive herd. We integrated anatomic, genetic, and prion amplification methods to discover CWD-positive remains from six white-tailed deer ( Odocoileus virginianus ) and, using microsatellite markers, confirmed a portion originated from the CWD-infected herd. This approach provides a foundation for future studies of carcass prion transmission risk.

“…It includes the use of cutting-edge GPS technology and video traps to monitor the effects of precautionary measures and spot risks to wild animals [14]. The development of mapping and visualization, the use of smart collars, remote control photography and videography cameras, remote wildlife sound recorders, and genetic analysis are all crucial methods for the protection of endangered ( Peer-Reviewed, Open Access, Fully Refereed International Journal ) Volume:04/Issue:10/October-2022 Impact Factor-6.752 www.irjmets.com animals [15]. A gadget that would be connected to an animal's body and continually monitor the location of the animal in relation to the GPS specified borders set up inside a wildlife sanctuary or national park has been developed using GSM and GPS technology as an automatic monitoring and alarm system [16].…”

Modern technology is always developing, especially in the field of information technology, which creates new opportunities for animal identification, such as GPS-based tracking. While their civilization grows, the environment and animals are in peril. Every single living thing in the world is essential and has its own significant ecosystem, as dictated by nature. The goal of this research project was to create an app quickly and affordably. The software should be simple to use, efficient, productive, and meet the criteria. In order to effectively manage and conserve biodiversity in the research region, it is necessary to take into account the issues and dangers connected to project design. The creation of the app utilizes cross-platform flutter. User and admin panels were present. A survey was performed among the residents of the Bagra and Mang game reserves for testing and feedback. Major suggestions included improving the app's look, adding additional features, and making it simpler to use.
