Cutaneous Myiasis
Migratory Myiasis
The most common flies areGasterophilus intestinalisandHypodermaspecies. These flies typically infest horses and cattle; people acquire them via contact with infested animals or, less often, via direct egg-laying on their skin. Larvae of these flies burrow under the skin, causing pruritic, advancing lesions, which may be mistaken for cutaneous larva migrans; however, fly larvae are much larger than nematodes, and the lesions created by fly larvae last longer. Treatment of migratory myiasis is similar to that of Furuncular Myiasis .
