 | | Larval therapy gained acceptance and was widely used until the discovery of antibiotics in the 1940's. |
 | | Larval therapy has also been used to successfully treat malignant breast ulcers, burns, abscesses, squamous cell carcinomas, and subacute mastoiditis. |
 | | Continuing this study, it was found that the larval secretions contained enzymes which have similar molecular weights, characteristics, inhibitions, and sensitivities as those of trypsin, leucine aminopeptidase, carboxypeptidase A, and carboxypeptidase B. There was also evidence of minute amounts of elastase activity. |
