Abstract
Cases of myiasis by Hypoderma in a human subject in Great Britain are of sufficient rarity to warrant the recording of the following case.A larva taken from a “small abscess on the neck of a boy aged 10”, was sent to the British Museum (Natural History) by Mr Colin Matheson of the National Museum of Wales, with a request that it be identified. The specimen was not in particularly good condition but after examination it was determined as a fully grown first stage larva of Hypoderma bovis de G. (the “second stage” larva of MacDougall (1930), “third stage” of Laake (1921), “first stage” of Knipling (1935)).
