  2. Myiasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myiasis

    How myiasis affects the human body depends on where the larvae are located. Larvae may infect dead, necrotic (prematurely dying) or living tissue in various sites: the skin, eyes, ears, stomach, and intestinal tract, or in genitourinary sites. [5] They may invade open wounds and lesions or unbroken skin. Some enter the body through the nose or ...

    Cordylobia anthropophaga, the mango fly, tumbu fly, tumba fly, putzi fly, or skin maggot fly, is a species of blow-fly common in East and Central Africa. It is a parasite of large mammals (including humans) during its larval stage. [1] C. anthropophaga is found in the tropics of Africa and is a common cause of myiasis in humans in the region. [2]

  4. Loa loa filariasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loa_loa_filariasis

    During a blood meal, an infected Chrysops fly introduces third-stage filarial larvae onto the skin of the human host, where they penetrate the bite wound. The larvae develop into adults that commonly reside in subcutaneous tissue. The female worms measure 40 to 70 mm in length and 0.5 mm in diameter, while the males measure 30 to 34 mm in ...

  5. Botfly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botfly

    Botflies, also known as warble flies, heel flies, and gadflies, are flies of the family Oestridae. Their larvae are internal parasites of mammals, some species growing in the host's flesh and others within the gut. Dermatobia hominis is the only species of botfly known to parasitize humans routinely, though other species of flies cause myiasis ...

    It is also known as the torsalo or American warble fly, [1] though the warble fly is in the genus Hypoderma and not Dermatobia, and is a parasite on cattle and deer instead of humans.

  7. Fannia scalaris - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fannia_scalaris

    Myiasis is the infestation of animals or humans, where dipterous fly larvae feed on the host's necrotic or living tissue. This is prevalent in small children and bedridden adults living in unsanitary conditions. [9] The veterinary concern is the same as the medical. The flies cause the same kind of myiasis in animals as it does in humans.

  8. Maggot therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maggot_therapy

    Maggot therapy (also known as larval therapy) is a type of biotherapy involving the introduction of live, disinfected maggots (fly larvae) into non-healing skin and soft-tissue wounds of a human or other animal for the purpose of cleaning out the necrotic (dead) tissue within a wound (debridement), and disinfection. There is evidence that ...

  9. Cynomya cadaverina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynomya_cadaverina

    Myiasis is the infestation of living or necrotic tissue in a living host by fly larvae. Some flies may just lay their eggs in a festering wound, while other may infest unwounded tissue. [9] C. cadaverina has occasionally been found in cases of myiasis but is not a fly that is regularly found. Myiasis is fairly uncommon in the United States, but ...
