食性双翅目是用于法医昆虫学目的的最重要的昆虫群。虽然在这种情况下使用最多的苍蝇家族是Calliphoridae家族,在实际调查中,还有其他几个家庭可能非常重要。本文分析了1993年至2007年间在瑞士记录的160例真实病例中所有家庭的嗜食性苍蝇。共鉴定出属于16科的56种,以Calliphoridae为最主要的科(占所有病例的90.63%),其次是Muscidae(26.25%),石齿科(19.38%),Phoridae(14.38%),和Fanniidae(12.50%)。对于形态学上难以鉴定的标本,一种新的PCR引物专门设计用于扩增短,法医重要的双翅目分类群的退化博物馆样本中的信息COI条形码。就物种而言,最丰富的家族是16种的Muscidae家族。首次从人类尸体中记录了Fanniafuscula(Fallen)和Fanniamonilis(Haliday)。这项研究强调了不同苍蝇家庭在法医调查中的重要性,增强我们对中欧真实案例中它们的普遍性和分散性的理解。结果为进一步的探索铺平了道路,特别是关于法医昆虫学中不经常观察到的物种的参与。
Necrophagous Diptera are the most important group of insects used for the purposes of forensic entomology. While the most utilized fly family in this context is the family Calliphoridae, there are several other families that can be of great importance during real-case investigations. This article analyzes the necrophagous flies of all families recorded from 160 real cases in Switzerland between 1993 and 2007. A total of 56 species belonging to 16 families was identified with Calliphoridae being the most dominant family (90.63% of all cases), followed by Muscidae (26.25%), Sarcophagidae (19.38%), Phoridae (14.38%), and Fanniidae (12.50%). For specimens that were difficult to identify morphologically, a new PCR primer has been specifically designed for the amplification of a short, informative COI barcode in degraded museum samples of forensically important Diptera taxa. The richest family in terms of species was the family Muscidae with 16 species. Fannia fuscula (Fallen) and Fannia monilis (Haliday) were recorded from human cadavers for the first time. The study highlights the importance of different fly families in forensic investigation, enhancing our comprehension of their prevalence and dispersion in real cases in Central Europe. The results pave the way for additional exploration, especially regarding the involvement of less frequently observed species in forensic entomology.
