“…These projects have demonstrated clear shortfalls in the ability of forensic entomologists to accurately establish timelines of insect activity in cases involving drug use. Sherman et al (1962) studied the impacts of adding pesticides to chicken feed in an effort to control dipteran larvae developing in the bird droppings, revealing high levels of larval susceptibility to organophosphates. Though Sherman et al (1962) did not focus specifically on forensics, this avenue of research proved to be important to the field later on when organophosphates were detected in C. megacephala and C. rufifacies maggots recovered from a scene involving malathion poisoning (Goff et al, 1988;Gunatilake & Goff, 1989).…”

Analysis of larval development led to a postmortem interval (PMI) estimation of approximately 5 days, while the decedent had been missing for 8 days.…”

The field of forensic entomology has grown exponentially within the last 50 years. While research in this discipline is conducted globally, the United States in particular has produced a significant amount of work relevant to forensic entomology. The Pacific region of the United States, characterized to include Hawai'i, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and the islands of American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, has produced a broad array of such studies. Works of interest include surveys of forensically important insects, studies on carrion decomposition and insect succession, studies on the developmental rate of sarcosaprophagous insects, molecular studies to detect differences between geographically distant populations of the same species, studies on the microbial makeup of carrion and carrion‐feeding insects, entomotoxicological research, decomposition communities in aquatic environments, and case reports detailing insects recovered from death investigations as well as myiasis of livestock and humans. This review will outline research that originates from each of the aforementioned regions and review the results, while identifying knowledge gaps, and providing recommended areas of improvement to further increase diversity of forensic entomology research in the Pacific region.

“…Manure was collected, approximately biweekly, from dropping pans set beneath the cages and the toxicity to first-instar larvae of the housefly, Musca domestica L., an anthomyid, Fannia pusio (Wiedemann), a blowfly, Chrysomya megacephala (F.), and a flesh fly, Parasarcophaga argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy) was determined by methods described by Sherman and Ross (1960a,b) and Sherman et al (1962). In order to determine whether there was any significant difference between larval mortality and adult emergence, the larval mortality was determined after 3 days and then the surviving larvae were replaced in the droppings and held for adult emergence.…”

Unknowns A and B represented a larger percentage of the recovered radioactivity in the white than in the yolk. In particular, Unknown B constituted 46.3% of the white residues, as compared to 7.0% of that in the yolk. Because of the much larger total 14C residues in yolk, the large percentage of Unknowns A and B in the white had relatively little effect on the overall greater amount of total 14C residues in the yolk.the feed of laying hens for 55 weeks at 50, 100, 200, and 800 ppm. Excellent control of the housefly, Musca domestica L., and the blowfly, Chrysomya megacephala (F.), was obtained in droppings from the hens fed 50 ppm but higher levels were required for control of larvae of Parasarcophaga argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy) and Fannia pusio (Wiedemann). No hen mortality occurred that could be attributed to treatment but there was a direct relationship between Nemacide concentration and blood plasma cholinesterase inhibition. Feed consump-tion, weight gain, egg production, shell thickness, egg weight, egg quality, and odor were normal but eggs from hens treated with 800 ppm had a less desirable flavor than eggs from untreated hens. A glc electron capture method was developed to measure nanogram amounts of Nemacide and 2,4-dichlorophenol. The limits of detectability were 0.005 to 0.086 ppm for Nemacide and 0.006 to 0.208 ppm for 2,4-dichlorophenol. Appreciable residues of Nemacide were found in the liver, muscle, fat, and yolk of treated hens, while 2,4-dichlorophenol residues were detected only in the liver and yolk.

“…These include ease of treatment, assurance that each bird will receive treatment, reduced losses in egg production and birds compared to those following conventional spray or dusting, and prevention of resistance to the pesticide as a result of inadequate or partial treatments. Several researchers have tested insecticides in poultry rations for control of fly larvae in the manure (Sherman and Ross, 1961;Dorough and Arthur, 1961;Sherman et al, 1962), and a few have tested chemicals as systemics for the control of the mite itself (Kraemer and Furman, 1959;Furman and Pieper, 1962;Furman and Stratton, 1963;DeVaney and Ivie, 1980). No reports are available concerning the efficacy of registered anticoccidials against the northern fowl mite.…”
