Abstract

One of the most interesting and sophisticated relations that seen in nature is myiasis which represents the relation between these tiny small larvae of Diptera and another living creature where these larvae feed on its tissues. Several previous works discussed the issue of myiasis from different aspects. In this work, a brief and comprehensive review of myiasis including classification of its types, classification of dipterous larvae that cause it and special notes on family Calliphoridae and its role in causing myiasis.
