Abstract
Cases of furuncular myiasis in humans have been reported in the literature from time to time, many of them having been attributed to parasitism by sarcophagid flies. O'Rourke (10) described a case of furuncular myiasis due toWohlfahrtia vigil(Walk.) in a month-old infant at Ottawa. He reviewed the life-history and distribution of the species and previous records of myiasis cawed by it. Israels and Shuman (4) published an informative general review of myiasis dermatosa. Hunt and Edwards (3) reported a case in a three-month-old infanr at Montreal. This is a report on similar cases that occurred at Lethbridge, Alberta, in 1953 and in 1955 and a review of other records for Western Canada and the United States.
