Parasitism, a widespread nutrient acquisition strategy among animals, results from a long evolutionary history where one species derives its metabolic needs from another. Parasites can significantly reduce host fitness, affecting reproduction, growth, and survivability. Vertebrate hosts exhibit defensive strategies against parasites, including "sickness behaviors" such as lethargy and self-grooming to remove ectoparasites.

A 70-year-old woman with a 6-month history of poor hygiene presented with a right occipital mass, ulceration, and neck swelling. The right occipital region was infested with approximately 100 fly maggots, and the mass contained a foul-smelling abscess. Maggots were removed, and the mass was drained, irrigated, and dressed with padding.

A patient in his 70s, admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit with cardiogenic shock, unexpectedly presented with nasal myiasis during a workup for persistently elevated inflammatory markers. CT scans revealed sinusitis and bronchial secretions, while bronchoscopy identified mucus with positive pathogen testing. Nasal endoscopy was crucial in diagnosing myiasis, and immediate mechanical removal of larvae was performed.

Background: is one of the most important parasites, which infests the upper respiratory tract of camels leading to deteriorating health effects, substantial economic losses, and even death.
Aim: This study aimed to detect the prevalence rate of in slaughtered camels, determining its morphology using the electron microscope, and confirming its species by molecular phylogeny.
Methods: A total of 200 slaughtered camels at different areas in Al Muthanna province (Iraq) were inspected visually to collect the parasite samples that were identified initially based on their morphological characteristics.
A Rare Case of Nasal myiasis following Kidney Transplantation.

In this case report, we present a 63-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus and kidney transplantation who was diagnosed with nasal myiasis. The patient presented with symptoms of nasal myiasis infestation, including epistaxis, nasal obstruction, nasal discharge, and the presence of larvae. The patient had risk factors for poor wound healing, such as hyperglycemia, and the presence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and kidney transplantation indicated the presence of predisposing factors for myiasis.
