Abstract

Objective. To study the major species of necrophagous flies and their regular activity on carcass in zhengzhou district. Methods. Fourty dead rats were placed outdoors at different time from March to September in Zhengzhou district. Some species of necrophagous flies that appeared on the cadavers were observered and identified. Results. There were 8 main species who belonged to 3 families, including Domestica vicina, Muscina stabulans, Ophyra capensis, Aldrichina grahami, Lucillia sericata, Lucillia cuprina, Chrysomya megacephala, and Bottcherisca peregrina. Besides, it showed obvious regularity that different species of necrophagous flies appeared on cadavers at different postmortem interval and on diffrent part of cadavers. Conclusion. It may be useful for estimating post mortem interval (PMI) in Zhengzhou district. [Life Science Journal. 2008; 5(3): 31 – 34] (ISSN: 1097 – 8135).
