Biochemical studies of two forensically important insects in Egypt which had colonized rabbit carrions treated with organophosphorus compound

Organophosphorus Compound Induced 'Intermediate Syndrome'

Interspecific shared collective decision-making in two forensically important species.

To date, the study of collective behaviour has mainly focused on intraspecific situations: the collective decision-making of mixed-species groups involving interspecific aggregation-segregation has received little attention. Here, we show that, in both conspecific and heterospecific groups, the larvae of two species (Lucilia sericata and Calliphora vomitoria, calliphorid carrion-feeding flies) ...

Cytochrome oxidase II gene “short fragment” applicability in identification of forensically important insects

Correct insect identification is an important issue in the forensic entomological analysis. Short DNA segments can be used to uniquely identify species. In order to be useful as a forensic tool, a short DNA sequence must be not only easily sequenced, but also contains enough variation to generate unique identifiers at either the species or population levels. In the present study, we assessed th...

Histological, ultrastructural and biochemical studies on the kidney of mice treated with Carthamus tinctorius L. extract

Objective: Carthamus tinctorius L.(C. tinctorius) is used as a food additive but also has medicinal applications. The present work was designed to investigate its probable side effects on the histology and function of the kidney in the mice. Materials and Methods: Sixty adult Balb/C mice were randomly distributed into one control and three experimental groups. The control group received only di...
