“…These eggs also may be placed on other bloodsucking arthropods, such as ticks (3,8,10,13,17,21). In these vectors, the first stage of larvae (L1) develop from these eggs (21). When the vectors contact a host, the cutaneous heat makes the botfly larvae emerge from the eggs and fall on exposed skin (4,8,9,16).…”

Five patients with breast myiasis underwent mammography, and three also underwent ultrasonography (US). Mammography revealed indistinct masses in all patients, with associated pairs of microcalcifications in three. US showed each larva as a fusiform hyperechoic mass surrounded by a hypoechoic halo, which included larval movement in one patient. These imaging features of breast myiasis facilitate correct diagnosis.

Background The larvae of the botfly Dermatobia hominis cause furunculoid myiasis in endemic areas. Lack of knowledge of this condition outside these areas leads to confusion in diagnosis and delays appropriate treatment. Objective To describe the clinical findings of furunculoid myiasis encountered in Quintana Roo, in the south-east of Mexico. Materials and methodsWe performed an observational study on 25 cases diagnosed over a period of 4 years.Results Diagnosis of furunculoid myiasis was made in 14 males and 11 females with an average age of 24.5 years. Most of our patients were students, farmers, or housewives. The number of lesions varied from one to four. In 20% of cases, more than one parasite was present in each lesion. The scalp was the most commonly affected region (40%), followed by the trunk and the extremities. Doppler ultrasound study (DUSG) of the furuncle-like lesions confirmed the clinical diagnosis in all cases.Conclusions Furunculoid myiasis is frequent in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. We found no association with occupation, gender, social background or age. DUSG can be used to evaluate the number of parasites per furunculoid lesion avoiding misdiagnoses and treatment delays.

“…The horn fly is a vector for the filarial nematode, Stephanofilaria stilesi (Filaroidea: Filariidae: Stephanofilariinae) in the U.S.A. and Canada (Watrelot‐Virieux & Pin, 2006), as is the buffalo fly in Australia (Shaw & Sutherland, 2006). Furthermore, the horn fly has been reported to act as a porter for eggs of the human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis (Diptera: Cuterebridae) (Leite et al , 1998).…”

. The horn fly, Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) is one of the most widespread and economically important pests of cattle. Although insecticides have been used for fly control, success has been limited because of the development of insecticide resistance in all countries where the horn fly is found. This problem, along with public pressure for insecticide-free food and the prohibitive cost of developing new classes of compounds, has driven the investigation of alternative control methods that minimize or avoid the use of insecticides. This review provides details of the economic impact of horn flies, existing insecticides used for horn fly control and resistance mechanisms. Current research on new methods of horn fly control based on resistant cattle selection, semiochemicals, biological control and vaccines is also discussed.
