This case study details the first human infection with mixed cutaneous myiasis caused by Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata fly larvae. It highlights diagnostic features, clinical implications, and treatment strategies for this rare condition.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Entomology
  • Parasitology
  • Dermatology

Background:

  • Cutaneous myiasis, infestation of skin by fly larvae, can be specific, semi-specific, or accidental.
  • While common in veterinary medicine, human cases are less frequent, particularly mixed infections.

Observation:

  • A unique case of semi-specific cutaneous myiasis in a human is reported.
  • The infestation involved third-stage larvae of two fly species: Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata.

Findings:

  • Detailed taxonomic characteristics and diagnostic features of both Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata larvae are presented.
  • The biological implications of these fly species contributing to the clinical presentation are discussed.

Implications:
