- Dermatobia hominis, known as "fly of death," infests animals (including humans) with larvae that penetrate the skin after the adult female lays eggs on blood-feeding mosquitoes.
- The study aimed to document the presence of Psorophora ferox mosquitoes in Peru infested with Dermatobia hominis eggs.
- Researchers collected 668 mosquitoes, predominantly Psorophora species, and found one specimen of Ps. ferox containing 8 eggs of D. hominis, with 3 eggs hatching and 5 remaining unhatched.
