“…Reports of human infestation by D. hominis larvae are sparse, particularly in the oral region. This condition can affect residents or travelers 8,[25][26][27][28] in endemic areas, regardless of age, sex, or social status. In endemic areas, people should be encouraged to use preventive methods, such as insect repellents, protective clothes, and mosquito nets, 4,18,21,22,28 and to avoid outdoor activities during dusk or dawn.…”

Introduction The aim of this article is to present a rare case of myiasis caused by Dermatobia hominis. Myiasis is a disease caused by invasion of tissues of animals and humans by larval stages of dipterous (2-winged) flies. There are few reports of oral myiasis in the literature, mostly related to Cochliomyia hominivorax larvae. We present a case of a 53-year-old man with painful swelling of the left lower lip that was confirmed to be myiasis caused by D. hominis. Though more common in tropical and subtropical regions of North and South America, myiasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of subcutaneous masses among residents or travelers in endemic areas.

“…In humans, myiasis most frequently causes infection of exposed ulcers or traumatic wounds ( 1 ). In industrialized countries, most cases occur in tourists returning from tropical and subtropical areas ( 5 , 6 ), but autochthonous cases still exist. Several bacterial species have been associated with fly larvae, including species of the family Enterobacteriaceae and, more recently, Schineria larvae ( 7 , 8 ).…”
