Papel das moscas (Insecta, Diptera) na Entomologia Forense

Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">Esse trabalho apresenta uma breve revisão do papel que as moscas (Insecta, Diptera) desempenham na Entomologia Forense. São apresentadas discussões sobre ocorrência em cadáveres humanos e carcaças de vertebrados, estimativas de Intervalo Pós-Morte (IPM), estudos realizados no Brasil e em outros países, principais famílias de importância forense e aspectos biológicos, ecológicos e de distribuição das principais espécies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Palavras chave</strong>: Calliphoridae, Diptera, Intervalo Pós-Morte, Muscidae, Sarcophagidae.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Abstract</strong>: This paper presents a brief review of the role of flies (Insecta, Diptera) in Forensic Entomology.

O papel da Biologia Forense na resolução de crimes de grande repercussão no Brasil e no mundo: uma revisão

“…Segundo Graham [17], outra importante evidência foi a descoberta de que o suspeito, Bruno Richard Hauptman, já havia trabalhado, mesmo que por pouco tempo, em uma empresa nacional de vendas de Madeira, o que supostamente o levaria a saber fazer uma escada bem-feita.…”

Contribution to the knowledge of flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae: Sarcophaginae) attracted to carcasses in Piura, Peru

“…Sarcophagidae has great forensic importance because they are pioneering flies in colonizing human and animal carcasses, along with Calliphoridae and Muscidae (Oliveira-Costa & Mello-Patiu, 2004;Santos, 2018). Although sarcophagids are the most diverse flies found in carcasses and corpses in the Neotropical region (Alves et al, 2014), studies on association of flesh flies and carcass decomposition are still rare.…”

“…Although sarcophagids are the most diverse flies found in carcasses and corpses in the Neotropical region (Alves et al, 2014), studies on association of flesh flies and carcass decomposition are still rare. One of the limiting factors is the taxonomic difficulty presented by the group, whose specific identification is mainly based on features of the male terminalia complex (Santos, 2018). Even so, the few records of Sarcophagidae associated with animal carcasses have been made mainly on pigs carcasses, as it is the most internationally accepted biomodel (Jagmahender & Sharma, 2008), since it allows extrapolating information to cases of human corpses, because of their similarity with the cadaveric decomposition (Tomberlin et al, 2011;Schoenly et al, 2006), with the association of arthropods and their succession along the decomposition process (Matuszewski et al, 2019).…”
