AB  - Cutaneous myiasis caused by <i>Cordylobia anthropophaga</i>, the tambu fly, involves the infestation
of human tissue with fly larvae and is common in tropical Africa. We report a case of a 39 year old Bangladeshi
United Nations peacekeeper with cutaneous myiasis who deployed temporarily in Central Africa. The
epidemiology, clinical presentation and various methods of larval extraction, treatment and prevention on public
health aspect are discussed.
