Abstract
- Estimation of the minimum post-mortem interval (PMI-min) by means of forensic entomology is mainly based on the results of the growth rate studies on necrophagous flies. However, results of these studies are difficult to use because these studies have only been undertaken for a select few necrophagous flies, and experimental methods and results processing have not been standardized. In this review, we have summarized the current state of growth rate studies on necrophagous fly species that are frequently found in human cadavers. Criteria have been suggested in order to select reliable data, and the accumulated degree hours and base temperatures to be used in the calculation of PMI-min for each species have been tabulated.
