چکیده

here we describe a case of ophthalmomyiasis in a male patient with basal cell carcinoma. during the operation several live and motile maggots were removed from the lesion. preliminary examination on the larvae confirmed their affiliation to the genus sarcophaga (diptera: sarcophagidae).this genus is widely distributed throughout the world and species are very difficult to identify. the authors made at tempt to approach species identification by rearing larvae to the adult flesh flies, but due to shortage of adult male specimen, reliable diagnosis in the level of species was not obtained. possible interaction between ocular myiasis and malignancy concerning the case has not been addressed in this paper.

These flies have an extensive variety of alimentary habits during the larval phase, the most common of which involves animal carcasses (James, 1947). Most reports on the Sarcophagidae deal with their medical importance and role in the degradation of the carrion larval substrate (Cornaby, 1974; James, 1947;...

Proteomic approach to understanding the maternal effect in the flesh fly, Sarcophaga bullata (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)

Progeny of the flesh fly Sarcophaga bullata exposed to short day length show a maternal effect that prevents the expression of pupal diapause. Although ecological aspects of this effect are well studied, not enough is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying this maternal effect. In this study, two-dimensional electrophoresis was performed to detect differences of the abundance of certai...

DNA barcoding identifies all immature life stages of a forensically important flesh fly (Diptera: Sarcophagidae).

Carrion-breeding insects, such as flesh flies (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), can be used as evidence in forensic investigations. Despite their considerable forensic potential, their use has been limited because morphological species identification, at any life stage, is very challenging. This study investigated whether DNA could be extracted and cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) barcode sequences o...

Ophthalmomyiasis Caused by a Phormia sp. (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Larva in an Enucleated Patient

Ophthalmomyiasis rarely occurs worldwide, and has not been reported in Korea. We present here a case of ophthalmomyiasis caused by Phormia sp. fly larva in an enucleated eye of a patient. In June 2010, a 50-year-old man was admitted to Dankook University Hospital for surgical excision of a malignant melanoma located in the right auricular area. He had a clinical history of enucleation of his ri...
