Abstract:- The present study was conducted to determine the effect of morphine sulfate on the developmental rate of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius, 1784). Investigation was carried out on four different weight pigs i.e. 2.5 kg, 2.5 kg, 2 kg and 2 kg. These were subjected to decomposition in two different toxic and nontoxic conditions. Insects play an important role in the decomposition process. Carrion may attract a wide range of necrophagous insect species with a variety of life history traits. Drug morphine sulfate was analyzed by screening tests, UV spectrophotometry and LC-MS analysis. Biological changes that occur in Chysomya megacephala (Fabricius) due to lethal dose of morphine sulfate was also reported and also give an important information on the necrophilous fauna for estimating postmortem interval in case of human death.
Keywords:- Chrysomya megacephala, Entomotoxicology, Opioid.
