Forensic entomotoxicology integrates toxicology into forensic entomology to estimate minimum postmortem interval (PMI_min) and circumstances of death where toxicants and poisonous substances are the suspected cause of death. Forensic entomotoxicology not only confirms the presence of toxicants in insects feeding off a cadaver but also studies its effect on the bio-morphometry and growth rate of insects. This review article highlights the effects of various toxicants on forensically important species of dipteran flies. It also discusses the parameters that may affect accuracy in estimation of time since death. The bio-physical effects of toxicants (excluding the analytical approach for qualitative detection) would help understand the trends in forensic entomotoxicological research worldwide.

法医昆虫毒理学将毒理学整合到法医昆虫学中，以估计最小验尸间隔（PMI _min）和死亡环境，其中怀疑有毒物和有毒物质为死亡原因。法医昆虫毒理学不仅证实了尸体喂食的昆虫中存在有毒物质，而且还研究了其对昆虫生物形态和生长速率的影响。这篇综述文章重点介绍了各种有毒物质对二恶英苍蝇的法医学上重要物种的影响。它还讨论了可能影响死亡时间估计准确性的参数。毒物的生物物理效应（不包括定性检测的分析方法）将有助于了解全球法医昆虫毒理学研究的趋势。
