	Intestinal Myiasis -- Washington
		Editorial Note: Myiasis is the infestation of live human and vertebrate animals with fly (dipterous) larvae, which, at least for a certain period, feed on dead or living tissue or ingested food of the host (1).
		Intestinal myiasis occurs when fly eggs or larvae previously deposited in food are ingested and survive in the gastrointestinal tract.
		Treatment of all forms of myiasis includes occlusive salves and dressings for cutaneous myiasis (7,8); manual removal of larvae in aural, genitourinary, and nasopharyngeal myiasis (7,9); application of a 15% chloroform in light vegetable oil solution (followed by manual removal) in wound myiasis (8); and administration of a mild cathartic agent in intestinal myiasis (10).

		Cutaneous myiasis of the breast is rare, hence, an awareness of its clinical features is necessary when a patient presents with furuncular skin lesions especially in endemic areas or people returning from such areas.
		Myiasis is the term applied to the infestation of live humans and vertebrate animals with the larvae (maggots) of Diptera (two winged) flies.
		Cutaneous myiasis of the breast is very rare, only few cases have been reported in the literature and the majority of them are due to the human botfly Dermatobia hominis [9-11].

	Screwworm flies as agents of wound myiasis
		The term myiasis (then spelt myiasis) was first proposed by Hope (1840) to refer to diseases of humans originating specifically with dipterous larvae, as opposed to those caused by insect larvae in general, scholechiasis (Kirby and Spence, 1815).
		Myiasis has since been defined as "the infestation of live vertebrate animals with dipterous larvae, which, at least for a certain period, feed on the host's dead or living tissue, liquid body substances, or ingested food" (Zumpt, 1965).
		Dermal and subdermal myiasis, or cutaneous myiasis, is the invasion of skin tissues by larvae of Diptera that cause burrows or boils in the dermal layers, invade and enlarge existing wounds or form wounds themselves.

	MYIASIS
		A clear explanation of myiasis was given by Zumpt as “ the infestation of live human and vertebrate animals with dipterous larvae, which, at least for a certain period, feed on the host’s dead or living tissue, liquid body substances, or ingested food”.
		In humans, although myiasis cases are not common, caused mainly by Dermatobia hominis and Cordylobia anthropohaga, effective treatment is usually wanted by the patient mainly for the psychological reason of riding oneself of the maggot.
		It may be possible that livestock dipped with insecticide may increase human myiasis as a degree of repellencey may drive non-host specific dipteran species to seek alternative hosts, this would be a negative effect for local people, and a scenario not likely to occur with the SIT technique.

		Myiasis is the term used to describe the invasion of tissue by fly larvae.
		When the invasion occurs in the intestinal tract, it is called intestinal myiasis; the stomach, gastric myiasis; nasal myiasis,; cutaneous myiasis, etc. Some species of flies that are not significant as adults are important to veterinary medicine as myiasis producing larvae.
		Warble flies of cattle are perhaps one of the most significant myiasis producing problems of the cattle industry.

	Of Mice and Myiasis
		Infestation of wounds with maggots (myiasis) occurs periodically in large hospitals, especially during the summer.
		Nasal myiasis is much less common, and one of the few known causes is the green blowfly (Phaenicia sericata).
		These infestations, at first attributed to flies that randomly came into the hospital via open areas, were later found to be caused by flies that entered the hospital in response to the presence of large numbers of mouse carcasses.

	Exotic Myiasis
		The Lund's Fly is a blowfly rarely involved in human myiasis (Zumpt, 1965); it is found in rainforest areas of tropical Africa, from Senegal to Central Africa and south to Angola and Rhodesia, usually associated with rodents.
		Most of these cases of human myiasis are uneventful, but patients should be monitored for additional and subsequent lesions as the development of the maggots is not synchronous or isolated, and their growth phase may be prolonged.
		Although imported cases of exotic myiasis are not notifiable in Australia, they demonstrate the ease at which these flies cross geological boundaries with air travel.

		Myiasis is the infestation of the organs or tissues of host animals by the larval stages of dipterous flies, usually known as maggots or grubs.
		If the path of the larvae beneath the skin can be traced, the myiasis is designated as creeping and a rare form of bloodsucking myiasis is described as sanguinivorous.
