Forensic entomology, the use of insects and other arthropods in forensic investigations, is becoming increasingly more important in such investigations. To ensure its optimal use by a diverse group of professionals including pathologists, entomologists and police officers, a common frame of guidelines and standards is essential. Therefore, the European Association for Forensic Entomology has developed a protocol document for best practice in forensic entomology, which includes an overview of equipment used for collection of entomological evidence and a detailed description of the methods applied. Together with the definitions of key terms and a short introduction to the most important methods for the estimation of the minimum postmortem interval, the present paper aims to encourage a high level of competency in the field of forensic entomology.
法医昆虫学，即在法医调查中利用昆虫和其他节肢动物，在这类调查中变得越来越重要。为确保包括病理学家、昆虫学家和警察在内的不同专业人员能最佳地运用它，一套通用的指导方针和标准框架至关重要。因此，欧洲法医昆虫学协会制定了一份法医昆虫学最佳实践的协议文件，其中包括用于收集昆虫学证据的设备概述以及所应用方法的详细描述。连同关键术语的定义以及对估计最短死后间隔时间最重要方法的简短介绍，本文旨在促进法医昆虫学领域的高水平专业能力。
