Abstract
We report a case of a suspected intestinal myiasis of a child from Southeast Argentina. Diptera larvae were sampled by a physician from the nappy worn by the child and submitted for examination and identification to the Laboratorio de Artrópodos (Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata). Based on diagnosis of the anterior and posterior spiracles and mouthparts, the larvae were identified as the false stable fly Muscina stabulans (Fallén, 1817) (Diptera: Muscidae). A comparison of diagnostic characters between Argentinean and European third instars of this species is presented. Muscina stabulans is a prevalent species in the district of General Pueyrredón, Buenos Aires province, where the case occurred. Its abundance in the area coincidentally peaked at the time of the infestation. This is the 1st report of M. stabulans as a suspect of intestinal myiasis for the whole of the southern cone of South America (Chile and Argentina).
我们报告了一例阿根廷东南部儿童疑似肠道蠅蛆病的病例。医生从孩子穿的尿布上采集了双翅目幼虫样本，并提交给马德普拉塔国立大学（Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata）的Artrópodos实验室进行检查和鉴定。根据对前后螺线管和口器的诊断，幼虫被确定为假厩蝇 Muscina stabulans（Fallén，1817 年）（双翅目：鹟科）。本文对该物种阿根廷和欧洲第三龄幼虫的诊断特征进行了比较。Muscina stabulans 是该病例发生地布宜诺斯艾利斯省 General Pueyrredón 地区的常见物种。它在该地区的数量恰好在虫害发生时达到高峰。这是整个南美洲南锥体地区（智利和阿根廷）首次报告 M. stabulans 是肠道蠅蛆病的疑似病例。
期刊介绍：
Parasitology is an important specialist journal covering the latest advances in the subject. It publishes original research and review papers on all aspects of parasitology and host-parasite relationships, including the latest discoveries in parasite biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics, ecology and epidemiology in the context of the biological, medical and veterinary sciences. Included in the subscription price are two special issues which contain reviews of current hot topics, one of which is the proceedings of the annual Symposia of the British Society for Parasitology, while the second, covering areas of significant topical interest, is commissioned by the editors and the editorial board.
