Endemic and tropical human bot infestations are relatively uncommon or unreported in the United States. We report two cases in Connecticut: an unusual furuncular and respiratory myiasis by the rabbit bot Cuterebra buccata (Fab.) (Diptera: Oestridae) in a 74-yr-old male and a case of human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis (L.) (Diptera: Oestridae), myiasis in a 4-yr-old female with a tropical travel history with her family. Identification of C. buccata was based morphologically, in part, on spinal armature and further corroborated by DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial COI gene and comparison to the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank DNA sequence database. The resulting annotated sequence data were deposited into the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank. The unique medical aspects, and limitations and specifics on bot fly larval habits and identification are discussed.
在美国，地方性和热带地区的人体蝇蛆病相对较少见或未报告。我们报告了康涅狄格州的两例病例：一例是由兔蝇 Cuterebra buccata（Fab.）（双翅目：Oestridae）引起的不寻常的疖和呼吸道蝇蛆病，发生在一名 74 岁男性身上；另一例是人体蝇蛆病，即热带旅行史的 4 岁女性患有 Dermatobia hominis（L.）（双翅目：Oestridae）蝇蛆病。C. buccata 的鉴定部分基于形态学，部分基于脊柱装甲结构，并通过线粒体 COI 基因的 DNA 测序和与国家生物技术信息中心 GenBank DNA 序列数据库的比较进一步证实。生成的注释序列数据已存入国家生物技术信息中心 GenBank。讨论了独特的医学方面，以及蝇蛆幼虫习性和鉴定的局限性和具体细节。
