Myiasis in domestic cats: a global review
Parasites & Vectors, 2019Co-Authors: Marco Pezzi, Teresa Bonacci, Marilena Leis, Elisabetta Mamolini, Maria Gabriella Marchetti, Stjepan Krčmar, Milvia Chicca, Carlo Nicola Francesco Del Zingaro, Michel J. Faucheux, Chiara ScapoliAbstract:Myiasis is an infestation caused by larvae of Diptera in humans and other vertebrates. In domestic cats, Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), four dipteran families have been reported as agents of obligatory and facultative Myiasis: Oestridae, Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Muscidae. Among agents of obligatory Myiasis, the most frequent genus is Cuterebra Clark (Oestridae) and the most frequent species is Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Calliphoridae). Among the agents of facultative Myiasis, the most frequent species is Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Calliphoridae). A survey of Myiasis in cats reported in literature shows that the cases are distributed worldwide and linked to the geographical range of the dipteran species. Factors favouring the occurrence of Myiasis in cats are prowling in infested areas, poor hygiene conditions due to diseases and/or neglect, and wounds inflicted during territorial or reproductive competition. The aim of the review is to provide an extended survey of literature on Myiasis in cats, as general information and possible development of guidelines for veterinarians, entomologists and other researchers interested in the field.

Facultative Myiasis of domestic cats by Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), Calliphora vicina and Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in northern Italy
Parasitology Research, 2017Co-Authors: Marco Pezzi, Teresa Bonacci, Milvia Chicca, Carlo Nicola Francesco Del Zingaro, Daniel Whitmore, Margherita Lanfredi, Marilena LeisAbstract:We describe five cases of Myiasis of domestic cats, Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), reported in 2016 in northern Italy and caused by three Diptera species: Sarcophaga argyrostoma (Robineau-Desvoidy) (Sarcophagidae), Calliphora vicina Robineau-Desvoidy and Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Calliphoridae). Three were cases of traumatic Myiasis, one by S. argyrostoma and two by L. sericata , one was a case of auricular Myiasis by C. vicina and one was a case of ophthalmoMyiasis caused by an association of L. sericata and C. vicina . The Myiasis by S. argyrostoma is the first reported case of this species in a cat, whereas the two myiases by C. vicina are the first reported cases in cats in Italy.

traumatic Myiasis caused by an association of sarcophaga tibialis diptera sarcophagidae and lucilia sericata diptera calliphoridae in a domestic cat in italy
Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2015Co-Authors: Marco Pezzi, Milvia Chicca, Daniel Whitmore, Margherita Lanfredi, Marilena LeisAbstract:We describe here a rare case of traumatic Myiasis occurred in August 2014, caused by an association of 2 Diptera species, Sarcophaga tibialis Macquart (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) and Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), in a domestic cat in northern Italy. Species identification was based on adult male morphology. The present case is the first report of S. tibialis as an agent of Myiasis in Italy, and also the first ever report of Myiasis caused by an association of S. tibialis and L. sericata. The cat developed an extensive traumatic Myiasis in a large wound on the rump, which was treated pharmacologically and surgically. The biology, ecology, and distribution of S. tibialis and L. sericata are also discussed. A literature review is provided on cases of Myiasis caused by S. tibialis, and cases of Myiasis by L. sericata involving cats worldwide and humans and animals in Italy.

Myiasis (Muscoidea, Oestroidea)
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, 2019Co-Authors: Philip J. Scholl, Douglas D. Colwell, R. Cepeda-palaciosAbstract:Abstract Invasion of a living vertebrate animal by dipteran larvae is known as Myiasis. Myiasis has great medical and veterinary importance since it affects humans as well as wild and domestic animals in developed and developing countries around the world. This relationship between parasite and host can be characterized by the degree to which the larvae depend on their host: accidental, facultative or obligatory. Known Myiasis-causing flies are represented worldwide by a diversity of species included in 11 superfamilies and 16 families. Taxonomy, morphology, life history, ecology and behavior, public health and veterinary importance, prevention and control are described. The following four families of Myiasis-producing species are discussed in detail due to their economic and medical-veterinary importance: Muscidae, Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae, and Oestridae. The latest approaches in application of Myiasis control methods such as chemical, biological, sterile insect technique (SIT), and luring-trapping techniques are described.

Cutaneous Myiasis in Rural Haiti
The Ochsner journal, 2020Co-Authors: Amanda Theppote, Yvens Laborde, Leise Knoepp, Shontell Thomas, Obinna N. NneduAbstract:Background: Myiasis is a disease caused by the infestation of human tissue by the larval stage of various flies. It has been identified in sub-Saharan Africa and in tropical parts of the Americas. Cases have also been identified among travelers returning to the United States. Infestations may involve any part of the body, including the scalp, and open wounds may become infected with these larvae. The primary cause of wound Myiasis in the western hemisphere is Cochliomyia hominivorax. Case Report: We present a case of wound Myiasis in an adult Haitian male with a persistent wound for 2 years. To our knowledge, only 1 other report of wound Myiasis in Haiti caused by C hominivorax has been published. Conclusion: Wound Myiasis can occur in many tropical regions of the world, including Haiti. Because of the prevalence of global travel, clinicians should be familiar with the condition's diagnosis and management.
