Myiasis is a parasitic infestation of soft vertebrate tissues by larval stages of Diptera. We briefly described the lesion-causing genus Cordylobia Grünberg (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Three Polish travelers to Uganda, Gambia, and Senegal returned with furuncular myiasis. To identify the third-instar larvae removed from their skin, we examined the morphological features of the 3 specimens and sequenced a 5' barcoding fragment of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI-5P). One larva was identified as C. rodhaini Gedoelst, and 2 larvae were identified as C. anthropophaga (Blanchard). We were the first to submit the COI-5P of C. rodhaini to GenBank and the Barcode of Life Database. This is the first record of the importation of C. anthropophaga and the second record of the importation of C. rodhaini to Poland.
蝇蛆病是双翅目幼虫对脊椎动物软组织的寄生性侵扰。我们简要描述了致病属格氏绳蝇属（双翅目：丽蝇科）。三名前往乌干达、冈比亚和塞内加尔的波兰旅行者回国时患有疖肿性蝇蛆病。为了鉴定从他们皮肤上移除的三龄幼虫，我们检查了这3个标本的形态特征，并对细胞色素c氧化酶亚基I基因的5'条形码片段（COI-5P）进行了测序。一只幼虫被鉴定为罗氏绳蝇，另外两只幼虫被鉴定为嗜人绳蝇（布兰查德）。我们是第一个将罗氏绳蝇的COI-5P提交到GenBank和生命条形码数据库的。这是嗜人绳蝇传入波兰的首次记录，也是罗氏绳蝇传入波兰的第二次记录。
