Abstract Since its introduction approximately seven years ago, selamectin (Stronghold®/Revolution®, Pfizer Inc.) has been used off-label to treat a number of ecto- and endoparasite conditions in dogs and cats. It has been used as a successful prophylactic against Dirofilaria repens and as a treatment for Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats. It has also been used to treat notoedric mange, infestation with the nasal mite Pneumonyssoides caninum, Cheyletiella spp. and Neotrombicula autumnalis infestations and larval Cordylobia anthropophaga infection. However, to date attempts to treat generalised canine demodicosis have not been successful. In all cases, treatment was apparently well tolerated by the host. Background [3].

  • Human Botfly (Dermatobia Hominis)
    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT What’s Eating You? Human Botfly (Dermatobia hominis) Maryann Mikhail, MD; Barry L. Smith, MD Case Report A 12-year-old boy presented to dermatology with boils that had not responded to antibiotic therapy. The boy had been vacationing in Belize with his family and upon return noted 2 boils on his back. His pediatrician prescribed a 1-week course of cephalexin 250 mg 4 times daily. One lesion resolved while the second grew larger and was associated with stinging pain. The patient then went to the emergency depart- ment and was given a 1-week course of dicloxacil- lin 250 mg 4 times daily. Nevertheless, the lesion persisted, prompting the patient to return to the Figure 1. Clinical presentation of a round, nontender, emergency department, at which time the dermatol- 1.0-cm, erythematous furuncular lesion with an overlying ogy service was consulted. On physical examination, 0.5-cm, yellow-red, gelatinous cap with a central pore. there was a round, nontender, 1.0-cm, erythema- tous nodule with an overlying 0.5-cm, yellow-red, gelatinous cap with a central pore (Figure 1). The patient was afebrile and had no detectable lymphad- enopathy. Management consisted of injection of lidocaine with epinephrine around and into the base of the lesion for anesthesia, followed by insertion of a 4-mm tissue punch and gentle withdrawal of a botfly (Dermatobia hominis) larva with forceps through the defect it created (Figure 2). The area was then irri- gated and bandaged without suturing and the larva was sent for histopathologic evaluation (Figure 3).

  • El Parasitismo En Cunicultura (1)
    EL PARASITISMO EN CUNICULTURA (1) por el Dr. José-Oriol Rovellat Se conoce por parásito a todo organismo viviente, que alojado en otro ser vivo, realiza a expensas de éste, todas sus funciones vitales, ocasionándole algún perjuicio. AI organismo que vive a expensas del otro se le Ilama PARASITO y al que le da cobijo HOSPEDADOR. Según su localización en el organismo animal los parásitos se dividen en ectoparásitos, cuando viven sobre la superficie externa del cuerpo del hospedador o en cavidades que comunican con el exterior; los endoparásitos son los parásitos que viven dentro del cuerpo de los hospedadores, localizándose en el tubo digestivo, pulmones, hígado, otras vísceras, células, tejidos y cavidades corporales. Según el tiempo que habitan en el organismo del hospedador, se dividen en dos grandes grupos: los parásitos temporales que sólo buscan al hospedador para alimentarse y luego lo abandonan, y los parásitos estacionarios que permanecen dentro del cuerpo del hospedador un tiempo definido de su desarrollo o bien de una manera permanente. Dentro de los parásitos estacionarios, según pasen más o menos tiempo en el organismo del hospedador se subdividen en: Parásitos Periódicos que permanecen una parte de su vida en el hospe- dador y luego lo abandonan para continuar un tipo de vida no parasitaria. Los Parásitos Permanentes pasan toda su vida en el organismo del hospedador. Los parásitos accidentales son los que ocasional- mente aparecen en hospedadores anormales en condiciones normales. Los Parásitos erráticos o abe- rrantes son los que emigran a unos órganos que no son atacados normalmente dentro del organismo del hospedador.

  • Cutaneous Myiasis
    IJMS Vol 28, No.1, March 2003 Case report Cutaneous Myiasis K. Mostafavizadeh, A.R. Emami Naeini, Abstract S. Moradi Myiasis is an infestation of tissues with larval stage of dipterous flies. This condition most often affects the skin and may also occur in certain body cavities. It is mainly seen in the tropics, though it may also be rarely encountered in non-tropical regions. Herein, we present a case of cutaneous furuncular myiasis in an Iranian male who had travelled to Africa and his condition was finally diagnosed with observation of spiracles of larvae in the lesions. Iran J Med Sci 2003; 28 (1):46-47. Keywords • Myiasis • larva ▪ ectoparasitic infestation Introduction utaneous myiasis is widespread in unsanitary tropical envi- ronments and occurs also with less frequency in other parts C of the world.¹ Furuncular cutaneous myiasis is caused by both human botfly and tumbufly.²’³ Tumbu fly is restricted to sub- Saharan Africa.4 Infective larvae penetrate human skin on contact, causing the characteristic furuncular lesions. The posterior end of larvae is usually visible in the punctum and the patient may notice its movement. Cordylobia anthropophaga’ usually appears on the trunk, buttocks, and thighs.5 Case Presentation A 40-year-old Iranian male, who had made a recent visit to Africa for business, developed several red pruritic papular lesions on his body especially on his thighs. Over several days, the lesions developed into larger, boil-like lesions with overlying central cracks (Fig 1). There was some tingling sensation in the lesions but no constitutional symptoms were present.

He has worked in an endemic area of myiasis, Uganda, for 8 months and returned to Korea on 11 November 2016. The larva was identified as Cordylobia anthropophaga by morphological features, including the body shape, size, anterior end, pos- terior spiracles, and pattern of spines on the body. Subsequent 28S rRNA gene sequencing showed 99.9% similarity (916/917 bp) with the partial 28S rRNA gene of C. anthropophaga. This is the first imported case of furuncular myiasis caused by C. anthropophaga in a Korean overseas traveler.

Materials and Methods: A total of one hundred and thirty three (133) myiasis wound swabs and Cordylobia anthropophaga larvae were collected from infested dogs and analyzed for pathogenic bacteria using microscopic, cultural and biochemical methods. Results: The most commonly encountered bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus 75 (56.4%), Streptococcus spp. 16 (12%) and Escherichia coli 7 (5.3%). Other organisms isolated include, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Corynebacteria species, while mixed infection of S. aureus and Streptococcus spp were also observed. The rate of infection was found to be highest among the age groups 1–20 weeks and least in the 91 – 100 (week) age groups. The breed of dogs mostly infected with these bacteria was the local breed (Mongrel) while the German shepherd /Alsatian breeds were the least infected and with 58.6% (78) and 4.5% (6) percentage respectively.
