title: [Identification of six species of sarcosaphagous flies (Diptera) by sequence analysis of cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene (COI) in Weifang].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To identify sarcosaphagous flies and their larvae, pupa.
  
  
  METHODS
  Sarcosaphagous flies and their larvae, pupas were collected from human corpses and their surroundings in the Weifang city. A 304 bp region in COI gene was analyzed by mtDNA sequencing.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The studied region showed no sequence divergence within same species and significant difference were found between different species in all samples.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is a practical approach to identify these Sarcosaphagous flies and their larvae, pupas by sequence analysis of the 304bp region of the COI in mtDNA.
