f Recovery of a second instar Gasterophilus larva in a human infant: a case report.
Abstract
We report a case in an infant of horse bot fly myiasis that was unusual because the maggot had developed to the second instar (of three potential instars). This represents the first report of such late development in a human. The case occurred in a rural area of the Pacific northwest (Washington) in late summer.
