“…Among species reported as agents of facultative myiasis in birds there are Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], Calliphora augur (Fabricius) [ 30 ], Cochliomyia macellaria (Fabricius) [ 25 , 31 ], Lucilia illustris Meigen [ 27 ], Lucilia cuprina (Wiedemann) [ 32 , 33 ], Lucilia eximia (Wiedemann) [ 13 , 34 ], Lucilia richardsi Collin (Diptera: Calliphoridae) [ 35 ], L. sericata (see Table 1 ) and Sarcodexia lambens (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) [ 13 ]. Cases of facultative myiasis by unreported species have also been described, involving the genera Calliphora [ 7 , 29 , 36 ], Lucilia [ 25 , 29 , 37 ] and Sarcophaga (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) [ 38 ]. In other cases of myiasis in birds, only the dipteran family was reported (Muscidae and Sarcophagidae) [ 25 ].…”

Myiasis is a type of parasitosis by larvae of Diptera that may affect vertebrates, including wild and domestic birds. Traumatic myiasis was discovered in a domestic goose, Anser anser domesticus L. (Anseriformes: Anatidae), in June 2020 in a rural area of the region Calabria (Southern Italy). The myiasis was caused by Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae). In Italy, this was the first case of myiasis by L. sericata ever described in a bird. It was also the first case of myiasis detected in a goose in Italy. The description of the case is integrated by a discussion on nonhematophagous dipteran larvae causing myiasis in birds and by an updated and detailed review of literature cases of myiasis by L. sericata in birds reported worldwide, useful for monitoring and management of dipteran species of medical and veterinary interest.

“…This is the third case in Europe [ 4 , 8 ]. Cases of myiasis caused by Sarcophaga species are apparently few, but it must be underlined that cases of myiasis often remain unrecorded or that, more frequently, identification is partial, that is, at genus level [ 27 – 31 ].…”

In Mediterranean countries, Sarcophaga (Liopygia) crassipalpis, Sarcophaga (L.) argyrostoma, and Sarcophaga (L.) cultellata share the same ecological niche and can be responsible of myiasis. In this study, the main morphological characters of a larva found in a hospitalized woman were described and illustrated by light and SEM microscopy and the features discussed. Then, a fragment within the mitochondrial encoded cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (coxI) gene of ~735 bp was amplified and sequenced. The molecular investigation was necessary to confirm the species Sarcophaga (Liopygia) argyrostoma (99% of identity). Our findings showed that morphological descriptions of larvae of three Mediterranean species of Liopygia available in several papers might not be clear enough to allow for comparison and correct identification. Until results of reliable comparative studies of larvae of all three species will be available, the use of molecular tools is crucial, to avoid misleading or incomplete identification, and in particular when a myiasis becomes a legal issue.

Forensic entomology could provide valuable data for the minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimation and other relevant information, such as causes and circumstances of death. Some representatives of flesh flies are one of the dominant necrophagous insects during early stages of decomposition, demonstrating unique biological characteristics compared with other necrophagous flies. Moreover, they lead to global health concerns as carriers of various pathogenic micro-organisms, and dominantly result in the traumatic myiasis. Thus, sarcophagid flies are considered important in decomposition processes for PMImin estimation. However, the utility of sarcophagid flies has been seriously hampered by limited ecological, biological and taxonomic knowledge of them. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief review on the species, distribution and biological habit of forensically important sarcophagid flies. In addition, the relation between traumatic myiasis and flesh flies, molecular identification methods and developmental pattern of flesh flies are summarized.
