Myiasis Fabio Francesconi a and Omar Lupi b a Dermatology Section, Universidade Federal do Amazonas, and Fundacao Centro de Controle de Oncology do Amazonas, Manaus, Brazil b Dermatology Section, Universidade Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, and Policlínica Geral do Rio de Janeiro, and Immunology Section and Post Graduate Course of Medical Clinics, Hospital Universitário Clementino Fraga Filho/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil SUMMARY Summary: Myiasis is defined as the infestation of live vertebrates (humans and/or animals) with dipterous larvae. In mammals (including humans), dipterous larvae can feed on the host's living or dead tissue, liquid body substance, or ingested food and cause a broad range of infestations depending on the body location and the relationship of the larvae with the host. In this review, we deeply discuss myiasis as a worldwide infestation with different agents and with its broad scenario of clinical manifestations as well as diagnosis techniques and treatment.
