We report two cases in Connecticut: an unusual furuncular and respiratory myiasis by the rabbit bot Cuterebra buccata (Fab.) (Diptera: Oestridae) in a 74-yr-old male and a case of human bot fly, Dermatobia hominis (L.) (Diptera: Oestridae), myiasis in a 4-yr-old female with a tropical travel history with her family. Identification of C. buccata was based morphologically, in part, on spinal armature and further corroborated by DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial COI gene and comparison to the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank DNA sequence database. The resulting annotated sequence data were deposited into the National Center for Biotechnology Information GenBank. The unique medical aspects, and limitations and specifics on bot fly larval habits and identification are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjaa181","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,2]],"date-time":"2020-09-02T10:50:24Z","timestamp":1599043824000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Rabbit Bot Fly Furuncular, Tracheopulmonary, and Human Bot Fly Infestations in Connecticut (Oestridae: Cuterebrinae)"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"suffix":"III","given":"Kirby C","family":"Stafford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gale E","family":"Ridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Goudarz","family":"Molaei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Environmental Sciences, The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, New Haven, CT"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology of Microbial Diseases, Yale School of Public Health, New Haven, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Zarb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cheshire Dermatology, Cheshire, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Bevilacqua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cheshire Dermatology, Cheshire, CT"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020090206321971200_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"201","DOI":"10.1079\/9780851996844.0201","article-title":"Oestrid myiasis of humans,","volume-title":"The oestrid flies: biology, host-parasite relationships, impact and management","author":"Anderson","year":"2006"},{"key":"2020090206321971200_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"81","DOI":"10.1093\/jmedent\/9.1.81","article-title":"Development of Cuterebra ruficrus (Diptera: Cuterebridae) in six species of rabbits and rodents with a morphological comparison of C. ruficrus and C. jellisoni third instars","volume":"9","author":"Baird","year":"1972","journal-title":"J.
