Wound myiasis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/894204357

Infestation of wounds by the larvae of flies. Both obligatorily parasitic larvae (which always pass their larval stage in the body of an animal) and facultatively parasitic larvae (which normally develop in decaying flesh or vegetable matter) may cause wound myiasis.
