Quick Summary:

• Myiasis is primarily a skin disease caused by the fly larva (maggots). The fly larvae cause disease in humans and other vertebrate animals by feeding on the tissues. The infection is characterised by a painful, itchy boil-like skin lesions that contains the organisms within it
• The most common flies that cause Myiasis in human beings are Dermatobia hominis (human botfly) and Cordtlobia anthropophagi fly (tumbu fly). The condition is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas
• The main risk factors for Myiasis are poor hygiene and sanitary conditions, advanced age, psychiatric illness, children with mental retardation, and those travelling to the tropical and sub-tropical regions
• The signs and symptoms of the infection depend upon the specific body part involved. A diagnosis is typically made by identifying the fly larvae and maggots in the affected body parts
• Removal of the larva is required to treat Myiasis in most of the cases. The condition is easily curable once the larvae are removed from the wound/body
• Individuals should adopt preventive methods when travelling to high-risk regions; especially those having untreated and open wounds 

Based on the place of infection, Myiasis is classified into the following types:

• Cutaneous Myiasis:
  • Wound Myiasi
  • Furuncular Myiasis (follicular): The larva remains at a single spot causing a boil-like lesion     
  • Creeping Myiasis, where the larvae burrows into the skin
• Nosopharyngeal Myiasis - the nose, sinuses, and pharynx are infected
• Opthalmomyiasis: The eyes, orbits, and periorbital tissues are involved
• Intestinal, gastric, and rectal Myiasis, where the parts of the digestive system are infected
• Urogenital Myiasis: It involves the urogenital system (urinary and the genital system)
• Auricular Myiasis, when the ears are infected
• Hematophagus Myiasis: This is a very rare disease commonly found in infants younger than 9 months who are living in rural and endemic areas, where the furuncular lesions occurs on the face

Classification of Myiasis based on the relationship between host and the parasites:

• Obligatory: The parasite cannot complete its life-cycle without a parasitic phase. It may be further classified into the following types:
  • Specific
  • Semi-specific
  • Opportunistic
• Facultative, Incidental, and Accidental Myiasis: It is also known as Pseudomyiasis in which a free living larva accidentally enters the host, like by swallowing eggs or larvae with food
