Enteral myiasis or intestinal myiasis is acquired by ingesting food or water contaminated with dipteran fly eggs or larvae. Here, we describe a patient with intestinal myiasis presenting with acute dysentery caused by the larva of Hermetia illucens. The larva was identified morphologically, and its species confirmed through molecular analysis using polymerase chain reaction and sequencing based on mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI).
肠蝇蛆病或肠道蝇蛆病是通过摄入被双翅目蝇卵或幼虫污染的食物或水而获得的。在这里,我们描述了一名患有由美洲大蠊幼虫引起的急性痢疾的肠道蝇蛆病患者。通过形态学鉴定幼虫,并通过聚合酶链反应和基于线粒体细胞色素 c 氧化酶亚基 I 基因(COI)的测序的分子分析来确认其物种。
