Furuncular myiasis due to Cordylobia rodhaini is a type of parasitic infection caused by the larvae of the Cordylobia rodhaini fly. This fly is commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions of Africa and is known to lay its eggs in moist soil or sand. The larvae then hatch and burrow into the skin of humans and animals, causing a painful, itchy, and sometimes disfiguring condition known as furuncular myiasis. Treatment typically involves the removal of the larvae and the application of topical antibiotics.
