[Urogenital myiasis caused by the flesh fly, Thyrsocnema incisilobata (Pandellé, 1896) (Diptera, Sarcophagidae) in Central Europe: a clear demonstration of the agent in man (author's transl)].

Abstract

A single case of urogenital myiasis in an 86-year-old male patient suffering from a thrombophlebitic syndrome of the left leg is described. Larvae of the flesh fly, Thyrsocnema incisilobata (Pandellé) were unequivocally established as the agent of this myiasis which means that this species is introduced into parasitological literature, for the first time, as a human parasite. The circumstances of the development of this facultative human parasitosis is discussed.
