Effect of the sedative drug zolpidem tartrate on the immature and mature stages of carrion flies Chrysomya rufifacies and Chrysomya indiana

In forensic investigations many types of evidence are collected, such as urine, blood, and gastric contents. Carrion insects may also be recovered. Entomotoxicology is an approach to detecting, identifying, and quantifying chemicals in an investigation involving a death. Entomotoxicology involves th...
