A total of 101 entomological specimens recovered from human cadavers were processed and studied. Analysis of the data indicated that about 95% of these specimens were maggots of flies. Maggots of the blowfly Chrysomya (Family: Calliphoridae) especially Ch. rufifacis and Ch. megacephala were predominantly found in 77 cases (76.2%) while larvae of several other flies of the genera Sarcophaga, Calliphora, Lucilia and hermetia were also recovered. It was notable that Musca domestica or other related flies were not found in all these specimens. The age of these larvae was useful in the determination of the minimum time lapsed after death. However, more biological studies on animal carcases should be conducted for more accurate determinations. Methods of collection, preservation and despatching of specimens were also discussed.
共对从人类尸体上采集到的101份昆虫学标本进行了处理和研究。数据分析表明，这些标本中约95%为蝇蛆。尤其在77例（76.2%）中主要发现了丽蝇科昆虫大头金蝇（Chrysomya）的蛆，特别是红头丽蝇（Ch. rufifacis）和巨尾阿丽蝇（Ch. megacephala），同时还发现了麻蝇属、家蝇属、绿蝇属和Hermetia属等其他几种苍蝇的幼虫。值得注意的是，在所有这些标本中均未发现家蝇或其他相关苍蝇。这些幼虫的年龄有助于确定死后经过的最短时间。然而，为了更准确地确定时间，应针对动物尸体开展更多生物学研究。还讨论了标本的采集、保存和发送方法。
