A mammary myiasis caused by Psychoda albipennis (Diptera: Psychodidae) in a dairy cow: first record.
Ann Parasitol

Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Aydın Adnan Menderes University, Aydın, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- * The larvae were treated with lactophenol and 30% KOH, confirming their identification as P. albipennis through morphological characteristics.
- * The infestation resulted in mechanical damage to the udder and medication-induced atrophy, ultimately leading to the cow being sent for slaughter, highlighting the economic and welfare impacts of myiasis in unsanitary conditions.
Psychodid flies and their implicated role in human myiasis and pseudomyiasis.

Several psychodid flies are commonly associated with human-inhabited environments and have been increasingly implicated in cases of human myiasis. However, the basic biology of psychodid larvae is not well-suited for survival in the human intestinal or urogenital tract, making true, prolonged myiasis unlikely. In this review, we performed a systematic literature review of published cases of purported myiasis caused by psychodid flies, their identification, associated clinical findings, and treatment.

Article Synopsis
- Cases of genitourinary myiasis in humans occur occasionally, where fly larvae infest the urinary tract.
- In a study involving 11 patients who thought they had worms in their urine, the larvae samples were analyzed.
- The investigation showed that these patients did not actually have myiasis, highlighting potential misdiagnosis in such cases.
First Record of Human Urogenital Myiasis Caused by Larvae (Diptera: Psychodidae) in Miandoab, West Azerbaijan Province, Iran: A Case Report.
J Arthropod Borne Dis
December 2020
Department of Medical Entomology and Vector Control, School of Health, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Myiasis is a disease caused by the larvae of Diptera flies, which can infect the tissues of humans and animals, leading to complications such as urogenital infections.
- This case report discusses a 9-year-old girl in Iran who experienced urogenital myiasis, presenting symptoms like painful urination and finding larvae in her urine.
- The larvae were identified in a lab, marking a significant first-time observation of this disease in East Azerbaijan Province, highlighting a rare human infection not previously documented in Iran.
Psychoda albipennis myiasis as a rare cause of erectile dysfunction: A case report.

Department of Urology, Erciyes Kartal Hospital, Kayseri, Turkey.
Urogenital myiasis occurring with the settlement of fly larvae of the order Diptera is facultative and is rarely encountered in humans. This study presents a case of urogenital myiasis caused by Psychoda albipennis in a 42-year-old male patient. The patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of groin pain, pollakuria and erectile dysfunction and claimed that he saw motile larvae in his urine.
