🪰Dermatobia hominis
人皮蝇(学名:Dermatobia hominis),是狂蝇科皮肤蝇属的唯一种。其幼虫寄生于人类(以及广泛的其他动物,包括其他灵长类动物)。 已证明人皮蝇的卵可被40多种蚊子和粘蝇以及一种蜱虫传播;雌人皮蝇捕获蚊子并将卵附着在其身上,然后将其释放。附着在蚊子身上的人皮蝇卵在蚊子进食时孵化,幼虫通过蚊子的叮咬区域作为入口点;或是当粘蝇落在皮肤上时,人皮蝇卵从粘蝇身上掉下来。幼虫在宿主的皮下层发育,大约8周后,它们离开宿主并用至少一周时间化蛹,通常在土壤中。人皮蝇成虫是类似大黄蜂的大型苍蝇,很容易被识别,因为它们没有口器(其他肤蝇也是如此)。 人皮蝇原产于美洲,从墨西哥东南部(从韦拉克鲁斯中部开始)到阿根廷北部、智利和乌拉圭,尽管它的数量不够丰富(也不够有害),无法达到真正的害虫状态。通常,它们对人类构成的最大风险是增加感染的机会,因为它们会为它们的呼吸孔造成开放性伤口。欧洲也报告了一些病例。因为人皮蝇幼虫只有在宿主伤口不愈合的情况下才能在整个8周的发育过程中存活下来,患者很少会发生感染,除非他们在没有完全清除幼虫的情况下杀死幼虫。
