摘要
Three aberrant incidents of human myiasis by Cuterebra larvae (Diptera: Cuterebridae) are described. All 3 cases were documented in the fall, on a nearly annual basis, and at the same western Pennsylvania hospital. Mature larvae were removed front cutaneous warbles of the neck and torso of a small female child and adult male, respectively. An early 2nd instar was removed from a warble located in the upper anterior quadrant of the left breast of an adult female.
