میازیس

Also known as infestation by fly larvae, infestation by maggots, maggot infestation, flystrike, blowfly strike, Infestation by fly larvae (disorder), Myiasis, unspecified, Myiasis, unspecified (disorder)

Myiasis ( ), also known as flystrike or fly strike, is the parasitic infestation of the body of a live animal by fly larvae (maggots) that grow inside the host while feeding on its tissue. Although flies are most commonly attracted to open wounds and urine- or feces-soaked fur, some species (including the most common myiatic flies—the botfly, blowfly, and screwfly) can create an infestation even on unbroken skin. Non-myiatic flies (such as the common housefly) can be responsible for accidental myiasis.
