Abstract

Myiasis is a diseased condition caused by larvae of myiasis producing flies. Still little is known about such an important subject in Egypt. In this paper, the author described three human cases of otitis media associated with aural myiasis. The causative larvae were those of W. magnifica and S. falculata.
