Cutaneous myiasis caused by larvae of Cordylobia anthropophaga (Blanchard).
BACKGROUND: Cordylobia anthropophaga (Blanchard) is a nonhematophagous dipteron belonging to the Calliphoridae family. It produces a myiasis called "tumbu fly" or "ver de Cayor" or "mango fly" or "skin maggot fly". CASE REPORTS: We describe two women, 24 and 23 years of age, affected by cutaneous myiasis caused by the larva of Cordylobia anthropophaga. In both cases the myiasis was contracted in Senegal and was characterized by a single lesion localized to the flank and the thigh respectively. From each of these lesions a single larva was extracted. DISCUSSION: This myiasis represents a typical example of tropical disease that in the past was unknown to Western dermatologists.

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 literature. Furthermore, as far as we know, just one adult case of myiasis caused by D. hominis acquired in Uruguay has been published.
