Talk:Myiasis

message: === Error on statement ===
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)

message: As far as I have understood mulesing is a synonym for crutching. Shall we add a link to the mulesing-wiki as well?

message: 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)
thread_title:  Putzi fly? 

message: 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)
