Myiasis

Myiasis is the infestation of live vertebrates (humans and/or animals) with a fly larva (maggot) of various fly species within the arthropod order Diptera (two-winged adult flies), usually occurring in tropical and subtropical areas 1. The fly larvae feed on the host’s dead or living tissue, body substances, or ingested food.
