A Feasibility Study on Using the Facilities of Health Centers for Developing a Laboratory Network on Vectors and Reservoir Hosts of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Iran
CONCLUSION: The Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education should prioritize the employment of capable persons in the field of Medical Entomology and Vector Control. The survival of this laboratory network depends on hiring and employing interested and persistent people. The universities of Medical Sciences that have the facilities to set up this network will be a very effective partner in the control of the disease in high risk areas. The results can be used in neighboring countries.PMID:36578999 | PMC:PMC9759443 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v15i3.9813

Effects of aluminium phosphide on larval morphometry of two important Chrysomya species
This article evaluates the effect of aluminium phosphide (AlP) on the larval morphometry and life cycles ofC. megacephala andC. rufifacies. The rabbits were given different dosages of AlP and their livers were excised to rearC. megacephala andC. rufifacies. Through multiple-regression analysis, we assessed the overall impact of varying dosages of AlP on larvae of both species. AlP accelerated development until pupation, whilst the time until emergence remained the same. At higher concentrations, AlP had a positive effect on the development of these species. Since both species are abundant, forensic entomology studies exami...

Identity of the numerous bloodstains at the murder scene: molecular identification of fly artifacts and fly species by CO1 analysis
This study aims not only to distinguish fly artifacts from true bloodstains but also to identify fly species by detecting fly DNA in small amounts of bloodstains at the scenes. Melt curve analysis of real-time PCR (qPCR) targeting cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was able to detect fly DNA in bloodstains from a murder scene. The fly DNA was sequenced from the qPCR product, and the fly species were identified by BLAST search. Fluorescence-labeled specific primers for four species of necrophagous flies were designed based on the seque nces of the CO1 region, and differences in the length of t...

Anatomical study of the red flour beetle using synchrotron radiation X-ray phase-contrast micro-tomography
In this study, we described in situ the internal organs of the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum Herbst 1797, a widespread pest of cereals and stored food causing serious damage to the human economy. Two-dimensional virtual sections and volumetric reconstructions of the nervous, alimentary and reproductive systems were carried out in both sexes. The results provided a comprehensive overview of the morphological characteristics of this species, such as the different maturation stages of ovarioles and the realistic location, size and shape of internal organs. Given the great interest in this model species in experimental ...

Decomposition and insect succession on human cadavers in a humid, continental (Dfb) climate (Quebec, Canada)
AbstractForensic entomology has been developing globally for decades. Despite this discipline being used in criminal investigations around the world, only a few controlled studies have been performed on human cadavers in human decomposition facilities, with the majority of these being conducted in warm and often dry climates. Therefore, the purpose of our research was to catalogue the first published data on insects associated with decomposed human bodies in a humid, continental (Dfb) climate. Specifically, our objective was to document the diversity and succession of the entomofauna associated with human cadavers througho...
