目的：根据深圳地区夏季室内外猪尸体上主要嗜尸性昆虫的生长发育和群落演替规律来推断死亡时间（PMI）。方法从2013年5月初到8月初,在深圳市公安局法医检验中心模拟的室内、外场地分别放置成年猪尸体两头,观察尸体腐败的过程和猪尸体上出现主要昆虫的种类,记录猪尸体腐败各阶段的历期,以及主要昆虫在尸体上的群落演替。结果室内、外的猪尸体分别经历了412.5 h和325 h进入白骨化阶段。主要的嗜尸性昆虫,蝇类以大头金蝇、绯颜裸金蝇、星岛金蝇,甲虫类以大隐翅甲、赤颈郭公甲、丽腐阎甲、白腹皮蠹为优势代表性种类。室外猪尸体在较多雨水的影响下,优势蝇群明显产生二代,室内的猪尸体上未见较大规模二代产生。结论深圳地区夏季室内外猪尸体上主要昆虫的群落演替有规律性,7种代表性昆虫及其幼虫整体的活动规律对推断PMI有较大的意义。     

Seasonal structure and dynamics of sarcosaprophagous fauna on pig carrion in a rural area of Cordoba (Argentina): their importance in forensic science

Four experiments, one in each season, were carried out during 2004 in a rural area of Córdoba, central Argentina. Two pigs (Sus scrofa L.), weighing approximately 8 kg each, were used in each of the four experiments. The animals were killed by a sharp blow to the head and immediately placed in an appropriate arthropod trap. One pig was placed in the shade and the other under direct sunlight. This research was conducted to determine the seasonal structure and dynamics of arthropods that constitute the sarcosaprophagous community in a given area of the central region of Argentina. The decomposition process was divided into five stages: fresh, bloated, decay, advanced decay and dry. The duration of each stage varied in different seasons, showing that the temperature and humidity are the most important variables that influence this process. A total of 51,500 adults and 36,909 immature were collected. More than 80% of the specimens collected belong to Insecta, and within this, Diptera were the most abundant order. The flies were mainly represented by adults and immature of the following species: Chrysomya albiceps (Wiedemann) (Calliphoridae), Musca domestica Linnaeus (Muscidae) and Fannia femoralis (Stein) (Fanniidae). Coleoptera were mainly represented by adults and immature of the species Creophilus maxillosus (Linnaeus) (Staphylinidae) and Dermestes maculatus (Geer) (Dermestidae). More than 50% of hymenopteran fauna collected belong to Formicidae. The trophic levels associated with the decomposition of the remains included five categories: necrophagous, parasites and predators of the necrophagous species, omnivores, opportunists and adventives. During faunal succession a strong dominance of the necrophagous species of the family Calliphoridae and Muscidae was observed, mainly during the early stages of decay process in all seasons.     

Sarcosaprophagous fly activity in Maryland

Eighty-six successful rearings of sarcosaprophagous flies characteristic of the first successional insect wave of infestation of a corpse were conducted under field conditions in Maryland. Different species were observed to be active during spring and summer. The development times for the immature stages of each species, with the related temperatures at which the development occurred are reported for both seasons studied.     

Forensic entomo-toxicology.

Drugs present in a decomposing corpse may be identified through analysis of maggots feeding off it. Case reports in forensic entomo-toxicology are sparse and the data base is unstructured. Drug concentrations should be measured in residual skeletal muscle, the principal food source for fly larvae, as well as in washed maggots, and the fly species should be determined. An untested possibility is the analysis of puparia or puparial cases which could extend the time frame for analysis into years or even into palaeopathology. In deaths indoors, the analysis of flies known to have emerged from the corpse is a theoretical possibility. To what extent drugs are retained in successive levels of the food chain is entirely unknown; drugs might be detectable in beetles feeding off fly larvae.     

mtDNA COI和ND5基因用于鉴别常见嗜尸性蝇类

目的对蝇类mtDNA 523bp COI和347bp ND5基因片段进行序列分析,评价其在以嗜尸性蝇类种属鉴定中应用的可行性。方法从广州(广东省)、湛江(广东省)、韶关(广东省)、沈丘(河南省)及蜂蛹寨(四川省)采集7种嗜尸性蝇类标本,进行形态学种属鉴定,取其腹部肌肉提取DNA,利用基因特异性引物对线粒体COI、ND5基因进行PCR扩增,产物经纯化后进行测序,MEGA 3.0软件对DNA序列进行碱基组成、进化分歧率和系统发育分析。结果进化分歧率ND5基因种内小于1.83%,种间大于2.62%;种间与种内进化分歧率范围间没有交叉;COI基因种间在0.48%～14.8%之间,种内在0.24%～8.3%之间,种内进化分歧范围与种间进化分歧范围存在交叉。结论 ND5基因片段可在种水平有效鉴别常见嗜尸性蝇类,也可鉴别近缘种。而单独运用COI基因不能有效进行种属鉴定。     

北京地区法医昆虫学研究──Ⅱ.尸体分解过程中的昆虫种类演替与死亡时间推断

在调查北京地区嗜尸性昆虫物种谱系的基础上，进一步研究了在尸体分解过程中，昆虫种类的演替特点及其对死亡时间推断的价值。嗜尸性昆虫侵食尸体的过程可分为侵入期、分解期和残余期：侵入期以双翅目蝇类为主，时间推断以幼蛆的发育程度为依据；分解期出现大量鞘翅目种类，时间推断以甲虫的各类组成、数量以及演替特征为主要依据；残余期昆虫数量极少。季节及温度、环境条件、尸体是否受伤或裸露，是影响昆虫侵食尸体时序的三个重要因素。正常的春季，侵入期为8至25天，分解期为约42天。     

温度对4种常见尸食性蝇类生长发育的影响及其法医学意义

为查明温度对尸食性蝇类生长发育的影响，便于推断死亡时间，在实验室恒温条件下，以常见的4种尸食性蝇类，即巨尾阿丽蝇Aldrichinagrahami、丝光鲜蝇Luciliasericata、大头金蝇Chrysomyamegacephala和肥须亚麻蝇Parasarcophagacrassipalpis为材料进行研究。结果表明，在实验温度范围内，除巨尾阿丽蝇二、三龄幼虫和丝光绿蝇三龄幼虫之外，各种类各发育阶段的历期均随温度增高而缩短，巨尾阿丽蝇蛹在12℃和30℃时停止发育。根据试验结果，利用线性回归方程对发育速率与温度间的关系进行了模拟，结果均有良好的相关性。研究结果具有推断死亡时间的法医学意义。     

STR typing of human DNA from fly larvae fed on decomposing bodies

In homicides with entomological evidence, it may be important to prove the presumed association of fly larvae to a corpse, especially if it is in doubt whether all maggots used for entomological expertise developed and fed on it. The present study demonstrates for the first time the possibility of analyzing human microsatellite DNA present in the digestive tract of necrophagous larvae that fed on decomposed bodies with a postmortem interval up to four months. The obtained human STR profiles support the association of a maggot to a specific corpse. In addition, the identification of the host species (e.g., animal source like pig) can be achieved by analysis of the cytochrome b gene. Maggots were collected from 13 corpses after various postmortem intervals and STR typing and HVR amplifications were performed using their crop contents. In seven cases, a complete STR profile was established, in two cases, an incomplete set of alleles was obtained, and in four cases, STR typing was not successful. HVR analysis was successful in all cases except one. The time of storage of the maggots and the length of the postmortem interval up to 16 weeks appeared to have no particular influence on the quality of the results.
