| Abstract | ||||
| This study was carried out to identify malathion which may cause the death. Toxicological analysis was applied to the forensically – important blow fly larvae C. albiceps which is the most abundant fly attracted firstly and consume the flesh of carcass as their food substrate. In addition to detection of malathion in tissues of blow fly larvae fed on treated – dog carcasses using gas chromatography with flam ionization detector (GCFID.), the effect of this chemical compound on insect succession, frequency of insects attracted to dog carcass and the development rate of C. albiceps larvae as the most important consumer of carcass tissues and can affect the estimate of postmortem interval (PMI) were investigated. | ||||
