Abstract
M Y i A S I S is the invasion of living animal tissue by the larva of flies. Myiasis may be cutaneous, subcutaneous, ophtha lmic , aural , nasal, intestinal, or genitourinary. The larvae or maggots may be from any of 10 to 15 different species of flies, many of which are associated with domestic animals such as horses, cows, or sheep. H u m a n myiasis is generally seen in the tropics but it is not rare in the t empera te zones. As a rule, human myiasis in tile nor thern areas occurs dur ing the summer and most often in infants and children. The most common site of invasion is the neck and face, probably because of the exposed position.
