Furuncular myiasis (Tumbu fly's maggot)

France, Faculte de Medecine Necker Parasitologie-Mycologie

Cordylobia anthropophaga fly deposits eggs on clothes placed to dry after washing. Should the items are not ironed, larvae can get into the skin. Respiratory spiracles can be seen at the crater bottom.
