Fig. 1 Mean total (cumulative) maggot mortality, as a proportion of dead larvae to the total initial larvae per jar, for each day throughout the study period. Five treatments, including four cleansing solutions (Betadine, Dakin's solution, hydrogen peroxide, and isopropyl alcohol) and a control (deionized water) were applied on a daily basis. The first application was on day 0 and continued until day 13. Multivariate repeated-measures analysis indicated no significant difference in maggot mortality among treatments (F=1.14, df=4, 19, p=0.366); however there was a significant change in maggot mortality over the duration of the study (F=91.92, df=1.6, 30.1, p<0.0001). There was no interaction between time and treatment (F=1.23, df=6.3, 30.1, p=0.318). Forensic Science International , 12-15DOI: ( /j.forsciint ) Copyright © Terms and Conditions
