| sonographic detection of subcutaneous fly larvae in human myiasis. | sonographers increasingly face imported diseases such as subcutaneous myiasis. in myiasis, some fly species such as the american dermatobia hominis and the african cordylobia anthropophaga use humans as intermediate hosts for the maturation of their larvae. high-resolution gray-scale and color doppler sonography enabled us to identify d hominis larvae in 2 travelers to central america by visualizing their typical shape, segmentations, and the continuous fluid transport inside the larval body cav ... | 2008 | 17685458 |
| [furunculoid skin lesions after travel to the tropics]. | we present a case of cutaneous myiasis (tumbu fly; cordylobia anthropophaga) in a german traveller returning from africa. myiasis is caused by dipterous larvae invading human or animal tissues. the diagnosis is based on the travel history and specific features of the furunculoid skin lesions. larvae are extracted with forceps or are surgically removed. | 2007 | 17285307 |
| case of the month: cutaneous myiasis in a returning traveller from the algarve: first report of tumbu maggots, cordylobia anthropophaga, acquired in portugal. | a 61 year old woman returning to the uk from the algarve and complaining of boil-like lesions was found to have cutaneous myiasis caused by tumbu maggots, cordylobia anthropophaga. this is apparently the first report of acquisition of this form of myiasis in portugal. | 2006 | 16498169 |
| cutaneous myiasis presenting as chronic furunculosis--case report. | myiasis is the infection of tissue or organ of living humans or animals by the maggot or larval stages of flies. in africa, the most common fly responsible for cutaneous myiasis is the tumbu fly, cordylobia anthropophaga. we present two cases of cutaneous myiasis seen on the upper abdominal wall and anterior chest wall. both were initially diagnosed as furuncle (common boil), but from high index of suspicion of myiasis, followed by application of petroleum jelly and palm oil to occlude the spira ... | 2005 | 16483056 |
| imported furuncular myiasis in germany. | furuncular myiasis is a parasitic infestation of human and other vertebrate tissues by fly larvae of primarily two species: dermatobia hominis (human botfly, t6rsalo, or berne) in mexico and south and central america and cordylobia anthropophaga (tumbu fly or mango fly) in africa. cuterebra species (rabbit and rodent botflies) are also rarely reported to cause furuncular myiasis only within the united states. although these species inhabit different geographic regions and have different life cyc ... | 2002 | 12502173 |

| [myiasis caused by dermatoba hominis after an organized tours in amazonia]. | human cutaneous myiasis is a common disease in endemic tropical zones. the incidence of imported cases follows the development of organized tours in the tropics. | 1999 | 10636010 |
| health problems associated with international travel: a case of cutaneous myiasis in china due to cordylobia anthropophaga imported from uganda. | more affordable international travel, global trade and commerce, and the exporting of labor have all contributed to international population mobility. furthermore, population migration leads to the incidence or recurrence of once-controlled diseases. evidence shows that the popularity of travel can impact health through imported infections and illness. imported cutaneous myiasis, a type of skin lesion, has attracted the attention of the current authors. this condition often occurs among traveler ... | 2014 | 25641182 |
| furuncular myiasis for the western dermatologist: treatment in outpatient consultation. | furuncular myiasis is likely to be seen by western dermatologists because of the increasing number of international travelers but remains unfamiliar to most of them, who tend to refer these patients to hospitals. different treatments have been proposed, but many of them are not achievable in outpatient consultation. | 2018 | 29090455 |
| a case of furuncular myiasis due to cordylobia anthropophaga in a korean traveler returning from uganda. | a fly larva was recovered from a boil-like lesion on the left leg of a 33-year-old male on 21 november 2016. he has worked in an endemic area of myiasis, uganda, for 8 months and returned to korea on 11 november 2016. the larva was identified as cordylobia anthropophaga by morphological features, including the body shape, size, anterior end, posterior spiracles, and pattern of spines on the body. subsequent 28s rrna gene sequencing showed 99.9% similarity (916/917 bp) with the partial 28s rrna g ... | 2017 | 28719958 |

| prevalence and husbandry-related risk factors of myiasis in domestic cavies in the western highlands of cameroon. | the presence of parasites on the farm can be a cause of losses in animal production, and often a threat to public health. a cross-sectional study was carried out in rural areas of the western highlands of cameroon to determine the prevalence and husbandry-related risk factors associated with cordylobia anthropophaga infestations in domestic cavies. the overall prevalence of myiasis in animals was 2·80% [95% confidence interval (ci) 1·50-5·10]; myiasis was found in 2% and 4·30% animals in menoua ... | 2017 | 27780497 |
| cutaneous myiasis. | myiasis is defined as the infestation of live vertebrates, either humans or animals, with dipterous larvae. many organs can be infested by these larvae with cutaneous myiasis being the most common form. cutaneous myiasis can be divided into three categories: localized furuncular myiasis, migratory myiaisis and wound myiasis, which occurs when fly larvae infest the open wounds of the host. human myiasis has worldwide distribution, with more species and a heavier burden in tropical and subtropical ... | 2016 | 27443558 |
| scanning electron microscopy investigations of third-instar larva of cordylobia rodhaini (diptera: calliphoridae), an agent of furuncular myiasis. | a scanning electron microscopy study of the third larval instar of cordylobia rodhaini gedoelst (diptera: calliphoridae), causing obligatory furuncular myiasis, is presented here for the first time. the larvae were collected from a patient exposed to them in the tropical rainforest of kibale national park (uganda). distinctive features are described in sequence from the anterior region to the posterior region, highlighting the morphological features of antennae, maxillary palps, structures relat ... | 2015 | 26334810 |
