    The Diptera of Lancashire and Cheshire: Muscoidea, Part I by Phil Brighton 32, Wadeson Way, Croft, Warrington WA3 7JS [email protected] Version 1.0 21 December 2020 Summary This report provides a new regional checklist for the Diptera families Muscidae and Fannidae. Together with the families Anthomyiidae and Scathophagidae these constitute the superfamily Muscoidea. Overall statistics on recording activity are given by decade and hectad. Checklists are presented for each of the three Watsonian vice-counties 58, 59, and 60 detailing for each species the number of occurrences and the year of earliest and most recent record. A combined checklist showing distribution by the three vice-counties is also included, covering a total of 241 species, amounting to 68% of the current British checklist. Biodiversity metrics have been used to compare the pre-1970 and post-1970 data both in terms of the overall number of species and significant declines or increases in individual species. The Appendix reviews the national and regional conservation status of species is also discussed. Introduction manageable group for this latest regional review.

Experiments in turns followed decomposition in outdoor environments with the beginning in spring, summer and winter. As the test objects a cadaver of domestic pig (Sus scrofa f. domestica Linnaeus, 1758) weighing 50 kg to 65 kg was used for each test. Our paper presents results of family Muscidae, which was collected during all three studies, with focusing on its using in forensic practice. Altogether 29,237 specimens of the muscids were collected, which belonged to 51 species. It was 16.6% (n = 307) of the total number of Muscidae family which are recorded in the Czech Republic. In all experiments the species Hydrotaea ignava (Harris, 1780) was dominant (spring = 75%, summer = 81%, winter = 41%), which is a typical representative of necrophagous fauna on animal cadavers and human corpses in outdoor habitats during second and/or third successional stages (active decay phase) in the Czech Republic. Key Words: Muscidae, Diptera, forensic entomology, pyramidal trap INTRODUCTION Forensic or criminalistic entomology is the science discipline focusing on specific groups of insect for forensic and law investigation needs (Eliášová and Šuláková 2012).

  • Epidemiological Studies on Non-O157 Shiga Toxin-Producing Escherichia Coli
    Epidemiological studies on Non-O157 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Anil Kenneth Persad DVM, MS Graduate Program in Comparative and Veterinary Medicine The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Professor Jeffrey LeJeune (Advisor) Dr. Gireesh Rajashekara Dr. Qiuhong Wang Dr. Joshua Daniels Copyrighted by Anil Kenneth Persad 2016 Abstract Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), a diverse group of bacteria with over 400 serogroups, is estimated to cause over two million cases of human disease globally each year. STEC O157:H7 has been the pathotype most associated with human disease; however the number of human diseases associated with non–O157 serogroups has been increasing. STEC can be part of the normal gastrointestinal flora of animals and shed asymptomatically. Humans are primarily infected via consumption of contaminated food or water, but can also be infected via direct-contact with animals and/or their environment and person to person transmission. In chapter 2, we investigated the extent to which E. coli transfers from deer feces to soils where crops are cultivated in Ohio. Two experiments were performed assessing persistence and dissemination of E. coli in deer feces. In the first experiment, the total coliform and E. coli counts were determined in soil and surface debris samples collected from a vegetable production field naturally contaminated with deer feces and compared with samples collected away from any visible signs of fecal contamination. Samples were similarly assessed 60 days post-redmediation.

Keywords Species list, Finland, Diptera, biodiversity, faunistics Introduction Four families make up the traditional superfamily Muscoidea: Scathophagidae, An- thomyiidae, Fanniidae and Muscidae. The monophyly of the superfamily has been strongly questioned (Nirmala et al. 2001, Kutty et al. 2010) on the basis of DNA sequence analyses. Three of the four families of Muscoidea are treated in this paper, the fourth (An- thomyiidae) is covered in a separate paper in this issue of ZooKeys.
