eristalis tenax , belonging to order diptera, family syrphidae seldomly causes in­tes­tinal myiasis. intestinal myiasis caused by e. tenax larvae is a rare manifesta­tion found in both humans and other vertebrate animals. we report a 22-year-old woman presented with this myiasis. the larva in her stool sample was identified as e. tenax related to its typical morphology and authentic clues. lack...

we report a case of human nasal nosocomial myiasis in a 69-year-old rural man with numerous live maggots in nostrils. the patient was admitted in emergency ward due to dyspnea. after 72 hours the companion of patient discovered larva. the presence of the third instar larva indicated that the infestation was not more than three days. the collected instars were cleared, fixed and morphological st...

Maggot (Hermetia illucens) is one type of alternative feed from Black Soldier Fly that easy to cultivate, economical and profitable reduce the rate aquaculture production cost. The purpose this study was determine growth maggot as carp (Cyprinus carpio) on growing medium apu (Pistia stratiotes). Research conducted March April 2022, using Complete Randomized Design method with 5 treatments 3 rep...

One alternative to reduce the use of Cork fish (Channa striata) feed can be given an feed, namely magot (Hermetia illucens) which is expected accelerate growth and production costs. The purpose of this study was determine effect best treatment combination feeding maggot pellet with different proportions on growth, survival efficiency feed. This research conducted for 60 days from November Dece...

When insect evidence is obtained during autopsy, forensic entomologists make decisions regarding the effects of low-temperature (-1 degrees C to 4 degrees C) storage of the body and associated insects when estimating the post-mortem interval (PMI). To determine the effects of storage in a morgue cooler on the temperature of maggot masses, temperatures inside and outside of body bags containing ...

J. Entomol. Sci. 41(1): 40-48 (January 2006) Abstract The wheat stem sawfly, Cephus cinctus Norton, the wheat stem maggot, Meromyza americana Fitch, the Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), the wheat jointworm, Tetramesa tritici (Fitch), and the wheat strawworm, Tetramesa grandis ( Riley), have long been considered wheat pests in the northern Great Plains. This paper reports results of surv...

BACKGROUND Biofilm-associated infections in trauma surgery are difficult to treat with conventional therapies. Therefore, it is important to develop new treatment modalities. Maggots in captured bags, which are permeable for larval excretions/secretions, aid in healing severe, infected wounds, suspect for biofilm formation. Therefore we presumed maggot excretions/secretions would reduce biofilm...

Lucilia sericata larvae are used as an alternative treatment for recalcitrant and chronic wounds. Their excretions/secretions contain molecules that facilitate tissue debridement, disinfect, or accelerate wound healing and have therefore been recognized as a potential source of novel therapeutic compounds. Among the substances present in excretions/secretions various peptidase activities promot...

The elimination of bacteria from pyogenic infections must precede permanent healing. That such a phenomenon occurs under the influence of maggot therapy is well known. Baer, in his original report (1929), called the maggots "a viable antiseptic." Later (1931) he had the following to say: "Whatever the bacteria of the original wound, be they aerobes or anaerobes ... the amount begins to diminish...
