title: [Cutaneous myiasis caused by the larvae of the fly Dermatobia hominis (author's transl)].
abstract: A case of cutaneous myiasis is reported, caused by larvae of the fly Dermatobia hominis, found in South and Central America where the disease was contracted during a journey. With the spread of air travel such parasites may be carried to Europe and elsewhere. There are also fly species in Central Europe whose larvae could potentially cause myiasis.
