Journal Title: Journal of Drug Discovery and Therapeutics - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Ophthalmic myiasis is due to deposition of fly larvae in the human eye. Various species of flies are able to provoke ophthalmomyiasis, including, Oestrus ovis , latrine fly (Fannia), house fly (Musca domestica), and cattle botfly (Hypoderma).14,15 Oestrus ovis is by far the most common cause of ophthalmic myiasis in man.8 Ophthalmic myiasis due to Oestrus ovis was described for the first time in 1947 by James.
