The authors report a 9-day old neonate from a rural area with umbilical myiasis caused by fly larvae of Cochliomyia hominivorax. The blowfly causing this infestation belongs to the family Calliphoridae (Diptera) and the genus Cochliomyia that usually infests only open wounds of animals. The new-world screw-worm fly Cochliomyia hominivorax, is an obligate ectoparasite of domestic and wild animals, and in some cases may affect humans. This is the rare reported case of neonatal umbilical myiasis with sepsis in the world literature.

“…Posteriormente Greenberg & Szyska (1984) y Baumgartner & Greenberg (1985) realizan estudios ecológicos sobre la importancia médica de los Calliphoridae en Perú. En Argentina, Mariluis y Schnack (1989, Mariluis et al (1994) y Schnack et al (1995) comienzan a desarrollar esa línea de investigación en Calliphoridae de ese país. Este estudio tiene como objetivo determinar, a través de un muestreo estacional, la diversidad y abundancia de las especies de Calliphoridae con relación a la densidad humana, en tres áreas ecológicas distintas de la ciudad de Valdívia, Chile.…”

The objective of this study was to determine synathropic index of adult Calliphoridae (Diptera) collected in the city of Valdívia, Chile (39º48 S; 73º15 ' W). For this, samples were taken monthly between September 1996 and August 1997 in three different localities representing urban, rural and natural environments. Rat carcass, fish , and chicken viscera were used as baits. Four blowfly species were collected: Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy, the dominant species in all three baits and sites of capture, followed by Lucilia sericata (Meigen), both species being eusynanthropic. The other two species, Compsomyiops fulvicrura (Robineau-Desvoidy) and Sarconesia magellanica (Le Guillou), were collected in smaller numbers and were characterized respectively as hemysinanthropic and asynanthropic. In addition to the synanthropic index, the monthly abundance and the efficiency of the baits as attractans to the flies as well as their medical and sanitary importance were also determined and discussed.

“…He found a number of cases of myiasis from Jamaica caused by unknown larvae, one of which resulted in death 3 . Cochliomyia hominivorax was the most prevalent species in human myiasis reports, occurring mainly in summer and located in legs, head, thorax, abdomen and pelvis 4 . The third stage larva is ideal for species identification.…”
