    <abstract locale="en_US">Myiasis is the invasion of body tissues of humans or animals by the larvae of the Diptera or two-winged flies. The vari&#xAD;ous forms of myiasis may be classified from clinical or entomological point. This study describes the existence of Chry&#xAD;somya bezziana (Diptera: Calliphoridae) cases as a causative agent of myiasis in 18 and 87 year-old men in two differ&#xAD;ent regions in Fars Province. To our knowledge, this is the first observation of mentioned species in this prov&#xAD;ince.
