Recently we talked about a disease called Hirschsprung you can read the details here.
Today we will be discussing on the disease Myiasis
Myiasis is the invasion or parasitic infestation on humans and animals by larvae of fly (maggots) which develop inside the living organs or tissues of the host. In mammals, the larvae have the ability to feed on the living or dead tissue of the host, ingested food or liquid substances of the body and thereby cause a broad range of plague depending on the relationship between the parasite and the host.
How myiasis affects the human body depends on where the larvae are situated. This larvae may infect living, prematurely dying or dead tissue. In various site of the body e.g. eyes, ears, skin, stomach and intestinal tract etc.
Numerous types of flies do cause myiasis in humans and animals such as C. hominivorax (which cause wound myiasis), oestrus (Which attack the eyes), cochliomyia (which invade the nasal passage), calliphoridae and sarcophagidae etc.
