  • Title: [Cutaneous myiasis caused by the larvae of the fly Dermatobia hominis (author's transl)].
    Author: Birnbaum D, Werner H.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1977 Sep 30; 102(39):1385-6. PubMed ID: 913258.
    Abstract:
    A case of cutaneous myiasis is reported, caused by larvae of the fly Dermatobia hominis, found in South and Central America where the disease was contracted during a journey. With the spread of air travel such parasites may be carried to Europe and elsewhere. There are also fly species in Central Europe whose larvae could potentially cause myiasis.
