There are three main families of Diptera cause Myiasis,Oestridae (bot and warble flies); Calliphoridae(blowflies) and Sarcophagidae (flesh fly). Larvae of Fannia scalaris is the most frequent cause of urinary myiasis. Clinically,Myiasis is classified as dermal,respiratory system,nasopharyngeal,ophthalmic,auricular,gastric,rectal,intestinal and finally urinary myiasis which is the most uncommon type in human,because cloth protection and inaccessibility of genital area to flies prevents them from laying eggs,Psychoda albipennis (P. albipennis) can flourish in the environment of a moist bathroom and may cause urogenital myiasis in humans. The urine specimen was taken from the patient who contracted from this larvae and the specimen was examined to detect and identify this larvae. The larvae are feeding on bacteria. The prevention criteria to prevent the myiasis are including the good hygiene during defection and micturition.
