ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Although tropical climate of Thailand is suitably endowed with biodiversity of insects, flies of medical importance is not well investigated. Using information from literature search, fly survey approach and specialist's experience, we review database of Sarcophaga (Liosarcophaga) dux Thomson (Diptera Sarcophagidae), one of the priorities flesh fly species of medical importance in Thailand.RESULTS:
This review deals with morphology, bionomics and medical involvement. Important morphological characteristics of egg, larva, puparia and adult were highlighted with illustration and/or micrographs. Search pertaining to molecular analysis used for fly identification and developmental rate of larvae were included. Medical involvement of larvae was not only myiasis-producing agent in humans and animals, but associated with human death investigations.CONCLUSIONS:
This information will enable us to accurate identify this species and to emphasis the increase medically important scene in Thailand.
