Furuncular myiasis caused by the human bot-fly Dermatobia hominis in a domestic cat from Brazil

Abstract Two individuals of the jaguar, Panthera onca (L.), were captured near the municipality of Presidente Figueiredo, Brazilian Amazon, during the years of 2017 and 2018. The jaguars presented furuncular myiasis caused by the human botfly Dermatobia hominis (L.) on the rear thighs and tail. This is the first record of infestation of D. hominis in P. onca in the Amazon region.

AbstractA case is presented of infestation with the larvae of Dermatobia hominis (human bot fly). This case is unusual in that it provides an example of three different outcomes for separate lesions in the same patient; spontaneous resolution, conservative treatment and surgical intervention. It also illustrates that myiasis should be included in the differential diagnosis of any skin lesion of a patient returning from the tropics.

EENY-440, a 6-page illustrated fact sheet by Stephanie Larrick and Roxanne Connelly, is part of the Featured Creatures Collection. It describes this large, densely haired fly native to Central and South America, which, in its larval stage, infests the skin of mammals causing painful pustules, a condition known as myiasis. Includes references. Published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, September 2008.
