| ultrastructure of the ovary of dermatobia hominis (diptera: cuterebridae). i. development during the 3rd larval instar. | the ultrastructure and distribution of gonial and somatic cells in the ovary of dermatobia hominis was studied during the 3rd larval instar. in larvae weighing between 400 and 500 mg, the ovary is partially divided into basal and apical regions by oblong somatic cells that penetrate from the periphery; these cells show ovoid nucleus and cytoplasm full of microtubules. in both regions, gonial cells with regular outlines, large nucleus and low electron-density cytoplasm are scattered among the int ... | 1990 | 2134704 |
| ultrastructure of the ovary of dermatobia hominis (diptera: cuterebridae). ii. origin of the tunica propria in ovarioles. | ovaries up to the 8th day pupae of dermatobia hominis were studied by transmission electron microscopy. ovarioles were recognized in ovaries of 4-day old pre-pupae, surrounded by a thin tunica propria of acellular fibrillar material similar in structure to the internal portion of the external tunica of the ovary. there is continuity of the tunica propria and the ovarian tunica, indicating that the former structure originates from the tunica externa. in 5 to 7-day pupae the interstitial somatic c ... | 1990 | 2134705 |

(diptera:cuterebridae) as a predisposing factor to new world screwworm myiasis (cochliomyia hominivorax coquerel) (diptera:calliphoridae). | in the tropics, the botfly dermatobia hominis and the nws cochliomyia hominivorax are the most important myiasis agents in cattle. it is frequently reported that furuncular lesions due to d. hominis are a predisposing cause for screwworm myiasis. our results pointed out that only 5.2 to 7.4% of c. hominivorax gravid females oviposited in the offered furuncular lesions. of 3242 eggs layed on botfly lesions (bfl), only 82 (2.5%) developed to second instar and died. in the flies tested, the furuncu ... | 1996 | 8784525 |
| centriole behaviour during meiosis of male germ cells of dermatobia hominis (diptera:cuterebridae). | during the meiotic division of dermatobia hominis spermatogenesis, the centrioles duplicate only in prophase i, giving rise to short cilia which are exposed on the cellular surface. in metaphase i they are internalized and distributed to the daughter cells. consequently, the secondary spermatocytes have two centrioles which repeat the cycle of cilia externalization followed by internalization. the spermatids receive only one centriole, which changes into a basal body and originates a flagellum. ... | 1996 | 8828172 |
| cutaneous myiasis due to dermatobia hominis in japan. | a 29-year-old man with a furuncle-like lesion brought in a maggot on the next day after his first visit to our clinic. he said it moved out from the eruption spontaneously. he had previously visited parana and sao paulo in brazil before he noticed the symptom. the maggot was confirmed to be a third instar larva of dermatobia hominis. japanese cases of cutaneous myiasis are reviewed. | 1996 | 8839241 |

| an unexpected surprise in a common boil. | cutaneous myiasis (myia: greek word for fly) is an infestation of fly maggots in the skin. a case of human botfly (dermatobia hominis) myiasis presenting to a canadian emergency department is described. typically, it presents as an apparent persistently infected skin abscess or insect bite. as the botfly is indigenous only to central and south america, the condition is unfamiliar to most north american physicians. however, the rapidity of international air travel permits this exotic tropical inf ... | 1996 | 8970006 |

| histological and immunological reaction of cattle skin to first-instar larvae of dermatobia hominis. | six cattle that had earlier exposure to dermatobia hominis were infested experimentally with first-instar larvae of the parasite. skin biopsies taken at intervals were studied in wax and in plastic sections. the avidin-biotin-peroxidase method was used to detect the presence and localization of host immunoglobulins (igs) g and m and antigens of first and second instar larvae of dermatobia hominis. the larvae penetrated actively through the skin and migrated towards the subcutaneous tissues. the ... | 1996 | 8994133 |

| the associated microflora to the larvae of human bot fly dermatobia hominis l. jr. (diptera: cuterebridae) and its furuncular lesions in cattle. | the microflora associated to furuncular lesions, larvae and pupae of dermatobia hominis, as well as the relationships between parasite, host and microflora associated, as a comprehensive microsystem, has been studied. one hundred and two furuncular myiasis due to d. hominis larvae in several breeds of cattle were studied and the following bacterial species were significant: staphylococcus aureus, s. epidermidis, s. warneri, bacillus subtilis and escherichia coli. closely related, the microflora ... | 1996 | 9040848 |
| cutaneous myiasis in a traveller returning from africa. | cutaneous myiasis is seen in travellers returning from the tropics. the flies commonly involved are cordylobia arthropophaga and dermatobia hominis. humans become infected by contact with eggs laid by the female fly on soil or contaminated clothing. the clinical presentation is boil-like skin lesions. treatment involves asphyxiation of larvae forcing emergence, application of toxic agents or surgical removal. | 1997 | 9046653 |

| use of ultrasound to aid management of late presentation of dermatobia hominis larva infestation. | tropical myiasis is likely to present in the larger second instar larval stage in the united kingdom. the use of ultrasound to confirm the size and determine method of removal is described. | 1997 | 9193987 |
| dermatobia hominis in the accident and emergency department: "i've got you under my skin". | an unusual form of larval infestation from south america is presented which, in view of increasing tourism to south america's tropical areas, may present to any accident and emergency department. infestation with dermatobia hominis is reviewed in terms of clinical recognition and life cycle. techniques of removal are described. | 1997 | 9193989 |
| scanning electron microscopy studies on the first-instar larva of dermatobia hominis. | first-instar larvae of dermatobia hominis collected 1, 4 and 7 days after having penetrated experimentally infected rats, were studied by scanning electron microscope (sem) observation. on the pseudocephalon there are basiconic and trichoid sensilla (antennal sensory complex), and basiconic, coeloconic and campaniform sensilla (maxillary sensory complex). the thoracic segments bear several rows of small, backwardly pointed, spines, and trichoid, campaniform, coeloconic and pit sensilla. the ante ... | 1997 | 9226647 |

| cutaneous myiasis caused by dermatobia hominis. | we report a case of myiasis caused by larvae of dermatobia hominis in a 12-year-old boy. the infestation was acquired in uruguay and was characterized by a single, large, inflammatory, nodular lesion located on the scalp. the lesion was accompanied by local pruritus and pain as well as diffuse headache and regional lymphadenopathy. from the lesion a single larva in stage iii, of noteworthy size, was removed. very few pediatric cases of myiasis due to d. hominis have been reported in the literatu ... | 1998 | 9572694 |
