“…No entanto, a associação utilizada neste estudo demonstrou possuir eficácia semelhante a este grupamento químico. Os resultados foram semelhantes ao de outros estudos que utilizaram piretróides e organofosforados (Roncalli & Usher, 1988;Moya-Borja et al, 1993;Moya-Borja, 2003).…”

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.

“…Therefore, D. hominis studies are mainly focused on animals such as cattle because of the resulting subcutaneous nodular myiasis and irreversible perforations of the skin, which damage the leather and thereby lower its price; some authors have reported as many as 40–60 lesions in cattle . The cost of preventive and control measures for myiasis and other ectoparasites is estimated at US$650 million in South America …”

“…Twenty‐four hours after occlusion, the larva was surgically removed. In addition, ivermectin has been reported as a novel and preventive treatment through inducing the migration of larvae out of the skin . A snake venom extractor and compression were less common treatments (< 2%).…”

Myiasis caused by Dermatobia hominis: countries with increased risk for travelers going to neotropic areas

et al. 2016

Here, we review the human botfly (Dermatobia hominis), which belongs to a group of Diptera generically known as "myiasis-causing flies," characterized by the ability of their larvae to develop in animal flesh. In addition to its medical and economic importance, there is an academic interest in this botfly because of its peculiar biology, particularly because a phoretic diptera is needed to complete the life cycle. The larvae penetrate the host's skin, causing furuncle-like lesions that are pruritic, painful, and resemble subcutaneous nodules, producing irreversible perforations in the skin. Although D. hominis is distributed from Mexico to Argentina, a review performed by our working group from 1999 to 2015 determined that the countries with the highest infection rates in travelers are Belize, Bolivia, and Brazil. Interestingly, infected men show a higher variation in the distribution of the lesions than in women. Many treatment schemes have been suggested, including the application of highly dense liquids to the lesion to cause anoxia in the D. hominis larvae. We showed, for the first time, a Bayesian inference between D. hominis and other myiasis-causing flies. The flies grouped into two main clusters according to their capacity to produce facultative and obligatory myiasis, and D. hominis was phylogenetically close to Cuterebra spp.
