The article describes myiasis, citing it as a disease or non-harmless infestation of fly larvae on living tissue.
The larvae used on maggot therapy are not myiasitic, since it feed only on dead tissue.
Some myiasitic fly larvae feeds on dead or live tissue or sometimes on both, but no one non-myasitic fly larvae (i.e. maggot therapy) feed on living tissue, preferring exclusively dead tissue, thus the maggot therapy fly larvae are not myiasitic and the article subsection must be corrected. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.84.193.2 ( talk) 02:44, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
As far as I have understood mulesing is a synonym for crutching. Shall we add a link to the mulesing-wiki as well?

I found an unwikified, orphaned entry at putzi which refered to this entry. I transformed it into a disambig and here is the content that I now removed from it - hopefully editors more familiar with 'myiasis' will be able to reuse it.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 18:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Putzi Fly. (Cordylobia anthrophaga). Also called the African Tumbu Fly. Found in Eastern and Central Africa. The females lay their eggs on clothes that are hung outdoors to dry. On contact with warm human skin, the eggs hatch, and the larvae burrow into the skin to develop into maggots. This process meanwhile causes pus-filled boils. Refer to "Myiasis".
I understand there is some encyclopedic value in the article's image. But I feel this is outweighed by the fact that most people visiting this article will not want to see it. I feel a better solution would be to simply link to the image.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 06:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Forgive me, but if you were to arrive to this page, it would be on purpose since wikipedia is not one of those "accidental pop-up" sites. If they do not want to see pictures of Myiasis, they probably would not want to come to this page in the first place. If they want a definition of Myiasis, a simple dictionary would suffice. An encyclopedia is meant to explain more on the subject. The mere reason that an image might "upset" someone is not good enough when the image is placed in an article as a means to illustrate the subject. (In fact, I personally have a problem with the 'hide' function placed, but if the community feels better with it, i'm ok with it as well). Monkeytheboy ( talk) 19:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
put your stupid fucking images in a gallery or something with thumbnails at the bottom or link to them from the article, if I just wandered to wikipedia to look up a fancy word I do not need to see that shit 88.66.8.48 ( talk) 01:23, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello, been reading some cases about green-bottle fly infections. This article mentions that "The flies themselves do not parasitise the host. They lay eggs in open wounds, necrotic or decaying tissue and corpses, especially in animals like sheep. Man is thus an accidental host, and trauma is an important risk factor.". Is this appropriate grounds to move Lucilia sericata from semispecific to accidental myiasis? Regards Obama gaming ( talk) 02:53, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
