Myiasis is the infestation of animals or man tissues by parasitic dipterous fly larvae. Wound myiasis is the result of fly egg deposition on decaying flesh or pus discharging wounds. This case report describes a type of wound myiasis caused by spp. in a Flamingo ( from East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. A 3-yr-old female Flamingo was suffering in its left wing leading to an extensive discharging wound, which was heavily infested by maggots (fly larvae). The examination of external morphological characters of the second and third-instar larvae, posterior spiracles and internal cephalopharyngeal skeleton, led to the identification of the spp. fly genus. Treatment consisted of removal of the larvae and surgical debridement, then spray of antibiotic and toxic drug. Following removal of larvae and treatment, the symptoms completely resolved within the last hour and remained asymptomatic several weeks later. This is the first report of wound myiasis in a Flamingo ( by the facultative myiasis agent spp. in Iran and the world.
蝇蛆病是指动物或人类组织被寄生双翅目蝇类幼虫寄生的情况。创伤性蝇蛆病是蝇卵沉积在腐烂的肉或有脓性分泌物的伤口上的结果。本病例报告描述了由某属物种引起的一种火烈鸟创伤性蝇蛆病（该火烈鸟来自伊朗东阿塞拜疆省）。一只3岁的雌性火烈鸟左翼患病，导致出现一个大量流脓的伤口，伤口被大量蛆虫（蝇类幼虫）严重感染。通过对第二和第三龄幼虫的外部形态特征、后气门以及内部头咽骨骼进行检查，确定了该蝇类所属的物种。治疗方法包括清除幼虫和进行外科清创，然后喷洒抗生素和有毒药物。清除幼虫并进行治疗后，症状在最后一小时内完全缓解，几周后仍无症状。这是伊朗乃至全球首次关于由兼性蝇蛆病病原体某属物种引起的火烈鸟创伤性蝇蛆病的报告。
