Abstract: Myiases are infestations with dipteran larvae in both necrosed and living tissues, the food source of these insects. These illnesses occur in warm humid climates, and are most frequent in developing countries. We assessed the epidemiological aspects and the influence of climate on the occurrence of myiases and the bioagents in patients admitted to the federal Hospital do Andaraí in Rio de Janeiro from February 2007 to 2008. The influence of abiotic factors (temperature, humidity, and rainfall) on the incidence… Show more

“…Las formas más comunes de miasis humana son la cavitaria y foruncular, esta última es a menudo causada por la infestación obligatoria de larvas subcutáneas por la mosca D. hominis y C. hominivorax en las zonas subtropicales y tropicales de América (3,16,21).…”

“…El pronóstico está directamente relacionado con la duración, localización de la lesión y el estado de salud del paciente, siendo en la mayoría de casos-auto limitadas ya que las larvas abandonan el hospedero antes de pupar (3). Pueden clasificarse según la localización anatómica del parásito en el hospedero (foruncular, cutánea, cavitarias, e intestinal) o según sus características de alimentación de la larva (obligatoria, facultativa y accidental).…”

“…megacephala are well known to breed in carrion (Vasconcelos & Araujo 2012;Moretti & Godoy 2013), and both species are of forensic and medical importance (Zumpt 1965;Greenberg 1971;Guimarães et al 1983;Smith 1986;Olsen et al 1993;Mavarez-Cardozo et al 2005;Ferraz et al 2011). Because third-instar larvae of Ch.…”

“…After their introduction, these species rapidly dispersed throughout the country (Guimarães et al 1978). This genus has medical and veterinary importance, may cause myiasis (Guimarães & PaPavero 1999;Ferraz et al 2011), and disseminates pathogens (ribeiro et al 2011). They are also listed as being relevant in forensic entomology by assisting in post-mortem interval determination (oliveira-Costa 2007;barros-souza 2012).…”
