Abstract
The MPI (Post Morten Interval), around ??veterinary forensic medicine, is very important to estimate the time elapsed from the death of the individual until its discovery. Using the fauna associated with the corpse allows us to guide ourselves in the thanatochronodiagnosis, even when the corpse is in advanced stages of putrefaction, thanks to the arrival of the insects to the corpse in an orderly manner. Knowing that the species with the most forensic importance are the Diptera since they complete their entire life cycle in the corpse, which helps to determine the MPI more precisely, for which larvae and pupae were collected and sent to the laboratory, these were preserved. until its adult stage where it was identified as Calliphora vicina. In this way, forensic entomology could be used as another instrument for the area of ??forensic veterinary medicine and determine the time of death. The objective of this work was to evaluate the MPI through cadaveric entomofauna in a canine using heat units.
