Abstract

Highlights
• This is a very rare case of aural Cochliomyia hominivorax diagnosed in a pediatric-traveler outside endemic area.
• Unlike common travelers’ myiasis, Cochliomyia hominivorax can be invasive and destructive.
• Cytochrome-C oxidase-I (COI) DNA-barcoding may be a useful tool for diagnosing rare parasitosis.
