| Obligatory Myiasis-producing Flies: Overview |  |
|
|
| Many dipteran flies produce larvae that lead a parasitic existence and result in obligatory myiasis. Only 1 fly in North America, Cochliomyia hominivorax , is a primary invader of fresh, uncontaminated skin wounds of domestic animals. Another species of screwworm, Chrysomyia bezziana , is found in Africa and southern Asia, including Papua New Guinea. |
