Megaselia scalaris (Diptera: Phoridae) is one of the medically important insects. Maggots from a urine sample of a 5-year-old Saudi girl were examined microscopically for identification. These maggots were cultured to become adult flies. Larvae and adults were identified using standard keys. Protozoan flagellates were obtained from the gut of the larvae. This is the first report of M. scalaris as a causative agent of urinary human myiasis in Saudi Arabia.
扁足蝇(双翅目:蚤蝇科)是具有重要医学意义的昆虫之一。对一名5岁沙特女孩尿液样本中的蛆进行了显微镜检查以进行鉴定。将这些蛆进行培养使其发育成成虫。使用标准检索表对幼虫和成虫进行了鉴定。从幼虫肠道中获取了原生动物鞭毛虫。这是沙特阿拉伯关于扁足蝇作为人类泌尿生殖道蝇蛆病病原体的首次报告。
