Myiasis has been defined as the invasion of living vertebrate tissue by the larvae of certain species of Diptera (Vasallo, 1991). The infection has a cosmopolitan distribution. Only few cases of the disease have been reported in African subregions (Dipeolu and Olufarati, 1975; Ogunniyi, 1981; Edungbola, 1982; Lyko and Mutinga, 1988).
