Abstract
Flies are pathogenic for human for many reasons. They can carry a lot of germs (bacterium, virus, parasites). Flies are exceptional intermediate host of parasites (Thelazia). Some are vectors of diseases, as glossina which transmit sleeping sickness, and the tabanidae the loiasis. But the most frequent pathogenicity is due to the larvae, which are under the skin or in natural cavities, as eyes, ears and nose. These myiasis are provoked by different flies as Musca, Cordylobia, Dermatobia, Gasterophilus or Hypoderma. Lucilia is useful because it cleans the wounds. Diagnosis of myiasis is set up by the extraction of the larva and its typing, and in some cases of visceral myiasis by the serodiagnosis. There is only a symptomatic treatment.
