“…Urinary myiasis was documented twice from Egypt (El-Badry et al 2014;El-Dib et al 2017), once from the Palestinian Territories (Hjaija et al 2018), and once from India (Sarkar et al 2018). Intestinal myiasis was reported twice from Malaysia (Mokhtar et al 2016;Smith and Thomas 1979), once from Japan (Tokunaga 1953), and once from Taiwan (Tu et al 2007). Furthermore, nasopharyngeal myiasis in man was rarely reported from Africa (Mohammed andSmith 1976, Nevill et al 1970).…”

Unnoticed arrival of two dipteran species in Austria: the synanthropic moth fly Clogmia albipunctata (Williston, 1893) and the parasitic bird louse fly Ornithoica turdi (Olivier in Latreille, 1811)

In the framework of a mosquito-monitoring program conducted from 2014 to 2018, non-culicid dipteran bycatch was identified to species-level with a focus on Diptera of medical and veterinary importance as part of a biodiversity initiative and barcoding project ("Austrian Barcode of Life"). Two species hitherto not known from Austria, the regularly sampled synanthropic moth fly Clogmia albipunctata (Psychodidae) and a single specimen of the louse fly Ornithoica turdi (Hippoboscidae), were collected in Vienna and Lower Austria. We confirmed identification results using a barcoding approach and provide the first reference sequence for O. turdi.

Arthropods are the cause of considerable human morbidity. In spite of numerous text books and reviews published on arthropods of medical importance, this is the first paper in the world to present a comprehensive review of specimens sent to a medical entomology laboratory over an extended period. The Department of Medical Entomology at Westmead Hospital is the New South Wales reference laboratory for arthropods of medical importance. In the years 1988–2017, there were 5655 samples submitted for identification. Some 25 orders, 188 families and 177 different genera were recorded, with 170 unique species. The most common specimens included the Australian paralysis tick Ixodes holocyclus (708 specimens submitted), the bird mite Ornithonyssus bursa (506), bed bugs Cimex spp. (149), moth flies Clogmia spp. (135), head lice Pediculus capitis (105), pubic lice Pthirus pubis (91) and scabies Sarcoptes scabiei (57). In 1211 samples submitted, there was no evidence for any life stages of arthropods. For these common samples, data analysed included yearly and seasonal trends, female vs. male patient submissions and the age classes of the patients. Some species such as I. holocyclus, O. bursa, Cimex spp., Clogmia spp. and P. capitis demonstrated strong seasonal trends. In the case of the female vs. male patients, there were significant differences in submissions with O. bursa, P. capitis, P. pubis and with the samples containing no arthropod evidence. Of these, only with P. pubis did more males submit than females. Younger ages classes (<10 years) were more associated with I. holocyclus and P. capitis, older patients >70 years) with scabies, mature females (50–69 years) with samples containing no evidence of arthropods and middle‐aged adults (40–69) with the remainder of the common samples. Key diagnostic features are included for some of the more challenging arthropod species to distinguish and as well as case studies provided of situations involving unique or unusual infestations. The data provides useful information on the risks that arthropods of medical importance pose to the community and will refine educational programs.

“…The present study reports for the first time a case of urinary myiasis in the Palestinian Territories. Clogmia albipunctata was found to be associated with urinary myiasis in Japan [7], USA [4], Egypt [1,2] and China [18], as well as nasopharyngeal myiasis [8,10] and intestinal myiasis [13,14]. All cases of urinary natural infestation were among women [1,2,7,18].…”

This is the first record of a case of urinary myiasis in the Palestinian Territories caused by Clogmia albipunctata. Larvae were discharged through urine by a 28-year-old pregnant female whom complained of mild abdominal pain associated with burning sensation while urinating over the past 3 months. Detailed description of the larva was provided. Keywords Clogmia albipunctata • Human myasis • Urinary tract • Palestinian Territories • Western AsiaRésumé Il s'agit du premier cas de myiase urinaire dans les Territoires palestiniens due à Clogmia albipunctata. Les larves ont été excrétées dans les urines d'une patiente de 28 ans, enceinte, qui se plaignait de douleurs abdominales légères associées, les trois derniers mois, à une sensation de brûlure lors des mictions. Cet article présente également la description des larves.
