Addressing global food waste requires innovative and sustainable solutions. This study investigates the potential of Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera: Calliphoridae) larvae to convert food waste into valuable byproducts, while evaluating the antimicrobial properties of larval extracts. Under controlled laboratory conditions, the larvae reduced the weight of food waste by 21.

- This study focuses on deer louse flies (Lipoptena spp.), which are blood-sucking parasites that affect deer and can also bite humans.
- Researchers collected 60 louse flies from 17 deer at Khon Kaen Zoo in Thailand and identified one type, Lipoptena axis, using both physical characteristics and genetic analysis.
- The findings mark the first recorded instance of L. axis in Thailand and include an updated guide to help identify different species of Lipoptena within the cervi group.
Forensic entomology plays a crucial role in criminal investigations by providing vital insights into minimum postmortem interval (PMI) and corpse relocation by identifying insect species that colonize in decomposing remains. This study aimed to identify and analyze the genetic variation of forensically significant fly species in Thailand, using DNA barcoding of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I COI gene. A total of 3,220 fly specimens were collected from 18 provinces across six regions of Thailand from October 2017 to September 2022.
