Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of predator behavior of C. albiceps larvae on cadavers, against other species larvae, on the estimation of the time of death. Methods: 30-60 pieces of larvae with different height and look are collected from each of five cadavers in which there are C. albiceps larvae. After height measurement of the entomologic evidences were collected from the cadaver, the determination at family level was made. Results: Chrysomya albiceps (Fabricius) species were found in 5 out of 16 samples analyzed between September 2006 and October 2007. Among these five samples, Chrysomya albiceps species were seen in only three, and in the other two samples dipteral species are found. Conclusion: Chrysomya albiceps is seen in only two samples out of the five samples different dipteral species, however in the other 3 samples no other species are found. This can be explained by the aggression of Chrysomya albiceps to the larvae of the other species. Due to this characteristic, mistakes can be made during the estimation of the time of deathin samples where Chrysomya albiceps species are seen.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma, insan cesetleri üzerine gelen C. albiceps larvalarının, diğer türlerin larvalarına karşı predatör davranışının, ölüm zamanı tahmini üzerine etkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: C. albiceps larvalarının bulunduğu 5 adet cesedin her birinden farklı boy ve değişik görünümde 30-60 adet larva toplandı. Cesetten toplanan entomolojik delillerin boy ölçüm işleminden sonra familya düzeyinde tayinleri yapıldı. Bulgular: Eylül 2006-Ekim 2007 arasında incelenen 16 vakanın 5’inde Chrysomya albiceps (Fabricius) türüne rastlanmıştır. Bu beş vakanın üçünde sadece Chrysomya albiceps türüne, diğer iki vakada diğer dipter türlerine rastlanmıştır. Sonuç: Chrysomya albiceps’in görüldüğü 5 vakanın sadece ikisinde farklı dipter türlerinin görülüp 3 vakada başka hiçbir türe rastlanmaması, Chrysomya albiceps’in diğer türlerin larvalarına saldırganlığı ile açıklanabilir. Bu özellik nedeniyle Chrysomya albiceps türünün görüldüğü vakalarda ölüm zamanı hesaplanması esnasında hata yapılabileceği unutulmamalıdır.
