Management of nasal myiasis and type 2 diabetes mellitus: A rare case and review article
2021, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Lack of control of diabetes might be another predisposing factor to this patient to larval habitation owing to diabetic neuropathy. It might begin that larvae first infested the patient’s nasal cavity then the nasal lining while the patient was not alert [4]. Nasal myiasis occurred when flies lay their eggs on injured nasal cavity mucosa.

Phthiriasis palpebrarum, thelaziasis, and ophthalmomyiasis
2020, International Journal of Infectious DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Padhi et al., 2017) Certain local customs, such as eating raw meat or applying live animals to the skin as medicine, can easily transmit parasites directly into the body. In those injured or seriously ill, open wounds, suppurative lesions, and ulcers secreting discharge or blood remnants (Lubis et al., 2019; Kamath, 2000) can attract flies, allowing maggots to inhabit and breed in tissue under poor host health and hygiene conditions. Cattle rearing, contact with pets, and exposure to mountainous terrain in the rainy season increase the vulnerability of humans to ocular parasites. (
