Abstract We report a case of human intestinal myiasis in a 41-yr-old female patient presented at a clinic in Seri Kembangan, Selangor, Malaysia. Larvae passed out in the patient's feces were sent to the Department of Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. DNA barcoding confirmed the second case of intestinal myiasis in Malaysia involving the larvae of Clogmia albipunctatus (Duckhouse) (Diptera: Psychodidae). We review reported cases of myiasis and…

Human intestinal myiasis caused by Clogmia albipunctata larvae (Diptera: Psychodidae): First report in Egypt.
Enteral myiasis causing acute dysentery: A case report.
TLDR
A patient with intestinal myiasis presenting with acute dysentery caused by the larva of Hermetia illucens is described.
Case report: A rare case of urinary myiasis induced by the fourth instar larvae of Telmatoscopus albipunctatus
TLDR
The results show that this was a case of a 50-year-old woman infected with T. albipunctatus larvae in her urinary tract, and the findings suggest that clinicians should be vigilant for this infection.
Morphological and initial molecular characterization of Clogmia albipunctatus larvae (Diptera: Psychodidae) causing urinary myiasis in Egypt
TLDR
The morphological and molecular characterization could accurately diagnose patients to have C. albipunctatus infestation and provided the initial set of data on the molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis of moth flies based on DNA barcoding in Egypt.
Unnoticed arrival of two dipteran species in Austria: the synanthropic moth fly Clogmia albipunctata (Williston, 1893) and the parasitic bird louse fly Ornithoica turdi (Olivier in Latreille, 1811)
TLDR
Two species hitherto not known from Austria, the regularly sampled synanthropic moth fly Clogmia albipunctata (Psychodidae) and a single specimen of the louse fly Ornithoica turdi (Hippoboscidae), are collected and confirmed using a barcoding approach and provide the first reference sequence for O. turdo.
Perhossääski Clogmia albipunctata (Williston) havaittu Suomesta (Diptera, Psychodidae)
TLDR
The expansive, synanthropic moth fly species Clogmia albipunctata is reported for the first time from Finland, and is among the northernmost records of this global species.
30 years of samples submitted to an Australian Medical Entomology Department
TLDR
Key diagnostic features are included for some of the more challenging arthropod species to distinguish and as well as case studies provided of situations involving unique or unusual infestations.
An annotated checklist of the eukaryotic parasites of humans, exclusive of fungi and algae
TLDR
A comprehensive checklist of all reported eukaryotic organisms (excluding fungi and allied taxa) parasitizing humans resulting in 274 genus- group taxa and 848 species-group taxa is provided.
