Domestic pig cadaver was used as a case study model instead of real human corpse tissue by collecting of 3rd instar larvae post-feeding and starving during24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. The identification of DNA extracted from pig tissues and from Sarcophaga carnaria Linnaeus and Chrysomya albiceps Wiedemann larval crops fed on deceased pig remains were carried out using PCR. The detection of DNA bands in the larvae of the two dipteran species was carried out by using Gel electrophoresis. Results showed that the extracted DNA from larval crops of the two fly species was identical to that extracted directly from domestic pig decaying tissues. In addition, the PCR specifically amplified the domestic pig mtDNA cyt b gene with 203 bp amplicons. Results also showed that DNA could be clearly detected within approximately 72h after the removal of larvae from pig corpse, suggesting reliable consecration of insects as valuable evidence in crime scenes. These results are useful for further consideration of the estimation of postmortem intervals (PMI) by the aid of forensic entomology.","PeriodicalId":52578,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences E Medical Entomology and Parasitology","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74923282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total 1135 cockroaches, belonging to two families and four species, were collected from seven different sites using sticky traps. The cockroaches were examined for the presence of parasites. The total number of parasites was six, The Helminths were: Ascaris sp., Trichuris sp., Hymenolepis sp., Entrobius sp, and Taenia sp. The protozoa was: Entamoeba histolitica. The total prevalence of parasites in body surface was 12.1%, in the gut was 13.2% and in whole insect was 13.5%. The highest prevalence was recorded at the summer in whole insect with 18.8% while the lowest prevalence was at the spring on the body surface with 3.5%. On the other hand, parasites were not recorded in winter. The highest prevalence was recorded with Periplaneta americana occurring in the whole insect with 15.6% while the lowest prevalence was recorded with Blattella germanica occurring on the body surface with 12.6%. On the other hand, parasites were not recorded with Blatta orientalis and Supella longipalpa. The prevalence of parasites recorded in cockroach’s sexes and stages. The highest prevalence was recorded with females occurring in the whole insect with 20%, followed with males occurring in the whole insect too with 10.3% and the lowest prevalence was recorded in nymphs with 3.2% in the gut. The present study further confirms that cockroaches play an important role as mechanical vectors of protozoan and helminth parasites. Hence, it is recommended that appropriate control measures must be taken particularly to make human dwellings as well as food preparation areas, including hospitals, hostels, schools and farms free of cockroaches.","PeriodicalId":52578,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences E Medical Entomology and Parasitology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89216255","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hammerschmidtiella diesingi and Leidynema appendiculata were found with the high infection rates in P. aegyptiaca. The results indicated that the prevalence of cockroaches infected with H. diesingi alone or integrated with another species was (51%), similarly, L. appendiculata was (65%) from total cockroaches. The mean intensity of L. appendiculata was higher than H. diesingi the current of cockroaches. The gravid females of both H. diesingi and L. appendiculata were also higher than of any other stage of nematodes.
