Boettcherisca peregrina (Diptera: Sarcophagidae): A flesh fly species of medical and forensic importance

摘要

Boettcherisca peregrine, as a fly with the necrophagous habits found on humancorpses and a vector of disease or parasitic, myiasis-producing agent, is a significant flesh flyspecies in forensic entomology and medical context. This study reviewed the various aspectsof this fly species, including morphology, bionomics, molecular analysis, medical and forensicentomology involvement, such as morphological characteristics of larva, puparia and adult,developmental rate of larvae, the effects of heavy metal (such as Cd and Cu) on the growthand developmentin of larvae, and the impact of some specific stimulis on the labellarchemosensory hair of B. peregrina. Species identification, gene and functions, myiasis andforensic case of this species were also outlined. Therefore, the paper has an importantimplication for improving the role of B. peregrina in medicine and forensic science.
