Comparing Growth of Pork- and Venison-Reared Phormia regina (Diptera: Calliphoridae) for the Application of Forensic Entomology to Wildlife Poaching

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 51(5), 1067–1072.

By: J. Wilson *, N. Lafon*, K. Kreitlow n, C. Brewster* & R. Fell*

author keywords: Phormia regina; venison; pork; forensic entomology; wildlife poaching
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Wild; Crime; Deer; Diptera / growth & development; Forensic Sciences; Meat / parasitology; Swine
TL;DR: The lower crude fat content of venison appears to make this meat source a more suitable medium than pork for larvae of P. regina, and the difference in growth rate could introduce error into PMImin estimations from third-instar maggots in deer poaching cases if estimates are based on data from studies in which maggot were reared on pork.
