Quiz 44 : Forensic Medicine & Entomology

Understanding applications of medicine & insects in forensics

Forensic medicine is defined as ‘the application of medical and paramedical scientific knowledge to certain branches of law, both civil and criminal’ (Parikh, 1999); whereas, Forensic entomology is the scientific study of the invasion of the succession pattern of arthropods with their developmental stages of different species found on the decomposed cadavers during legal investigations. It is the application and study of insect and other arthropod biology to criminal matters. It also involves the application of the study of arthropods, including insects, arachnids, centipedes, millipedes, and crustaceans to criminal or legal cases. It is primarily associated with death investigations; however, it may also be used to detect drugs and poisons, determine the location of an incident, and find the presence and time of the infliction of wounds. Forensic entomology can be divided into three subfields: urban, stored-product and medico-legal/medico-criminal entomology.
