Abstract Introduction Cutaneous myiasis is endemic in West Africa, and it most commonly caused by the larvae of Cordylobia anthropophagia. In English literature, there has been no recorded case this cutaneous affecting glans penis. Its rarity calls for a need to consider as differential when looking at furuncular lesions This awareness important practitioners who may come across case. We report...

Infestation of animal tissues by dipteran larvae (myiasis) commonly occurs in many species, but it is unusual for humans in temperate regions. Nevertheless, human myiasis is regularly observed in many primary care facilities in the United States. Beyond medical issues associated with treating human myiasis, both the causal agent and the longevity of myiasis can have legal implications, for exam...

Background: The L3 of Lucilia cuprina grow and feed on the living flesh sheep. Besides, they cause cutaneous myiasis. Herbal medicine showed potential efficacy against several pathogens as well insecticidal effects. Objectives: present work aims to investigate effect two volatile oils, Syzygium aromaticum, Mentha longifolia chemical neonicotinoid, imidacloprid (IMI), developmental stages L. cup...

Myiasis is the infestation of humans with dipterous larvae. Traditionally, myiasis was thought to affect individuals living in tropical regions, however, several cases in temperate zones have been reported. We encountered two patients with histories of malignancies that presented with complaints of myiasis, in Chicago, in the spring and summer of 2016. The first patient, a 54-year-old female wi...

Myiasis refers to Diptera larvae infesting vertebrate animals. There are two forms of the disease: primary and secondary. In primary myiasis, fly larvae invade and develop in healthy tissue; in secondary myiasis, flies lay their eggs in skin ulcerations, and the larvae develop in tissue necrosis products. Furuncular myiasis is a type of primary myiasis. Treatment for it consists of techniques s...

Myiasis is a condition in which fly maggots feed off, and develop in, the tissues of living organisms. True myiasis results from files deliberately laying eggs in or on the tissues. There are two forms of myiasis: obligate, in which it is necessary for the maggots to feed on living tissues, and facultative, where files opportunistically take advantage of wounds or degenerative necrotic conditio...
