    Author: Osaigbovo II, Ohanaka IA, Adebudo S, Osahon AI.
    Journal: Am J Trop Med Hyg; 2024 Jul 03; 111(1):176-178. PubMed ID: 38806040.
    Abstract:
    Myiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the larvae of dipterous flies. Cutaneous infestation is the predominant type documented in sub-Saharan Africa, and ocular involvement is uncommon. We report the rare occurrence of a case of eyelid ophthalmomyiasis caused by Cordylobia anthropophaga in a Nigerian female to raise awareness among practitioners in both tropical and nonendemic areas.
