Bacteremia induced by wound myiasis is uncommon and therefore rarely suspected by clinicians when treating patients with neglected wounds. We present a case of Ignatzschineria larvae bacteremia as a complication of Lucilia sp. maggot wound myiasis in a young male migrant. This is the first reported human case of Ignatzschineria bacteremia in Slovenia and one of the 2 described in the literature where the fly larvae infesting the wounds of the patient with Ignatzschineria bacteremia were not only suspected to be Lucilia sp. but also entomologically identified.

Dipterans are excellent insects to serve as forensic indicators to determine the postmortem interval of a human corpse. Therefore, we undertook a study to identify the major dipterans that are attracted to and develop in vertebrate carcasses. To determine what dipterans occur in Korea, chicken carcasses were placed in various habitats including the forest, open field, stream bank, greenhouse, rooftop, rice paddy, Chinese cabbage field, vacant hut, and pond at different times of the year. The dipterans were collected at various time intervals after placement in each habitat until the end of decomposition and identified. Our results showed that 49 identified and unidentified dipteran species from 36 genera in 19 families were collected from the carcasses. Habitat placement influenced the number of species isolated from the carcasses. For example, 39 species were collected from the forest habitat, 28 species from the open field, stream bank, or greenhouse each, 16 species from a vacant home, and 12 species from the pond. The dipteran species that were collected from all habitats were Phaenicia sericata, Lucilia illustris, and Lucilia sp. in the family Calliphoridae and Boettcherisca peregrine in the family Sarcophagidae. Other dipteran species that were isolated depended on carcass placement that is, fewer dipteran species were observed from carcasses in the backpack and much more species were recorded from unburied carcasses than buried carcasses. P. sericata, L. illustris, Lucilia sp., B peregrine and an unidentified sarcophagid species were observed year round, but some dipterans showed seasonal differences.

사체의 부패단계에 따라 발생하는 곤충은 차이가 있다. 본 결과는 사체의 유기조건에 따라 발생하는 절족동물의 종류를 법의학적으로 활용하고자 유기 가능성이 높은 여러 장소에서 수행한 일련의 연구 중 부패단계를 용이하게 구분할 수 있었던 몇몇 장소에서 사체의 부패단계에 따라 발생하였던 파리류를 비교 분석한 것이다. 부패단계에 따라 발생한 파리류는 유기장소(야산, 들판, 하천, 온실, 옥상)와 유기계절(봄, 여름, 가을, 겨울) 및 사체의 매장 유무에 따라 부패의 진행에 차이가 있음에 따라 차이가 있었다. 사체의 부패는 여름에 가장 빨리 진행되었으며 겨울철 온실에서 유기한 사체는 다른 장소에 비하여 빨리 진행되었다. 그리고 매장한 사체에 비하여 노출되었던 사체의 부패가 빨리 진행되었다. 모든 유기장소에서 노출처리된 사체의 부패초기 단계인 신선기(fresh stage)에 발생한 파리류는 구리금파리(Phaenicia sericata)와 연두금파리(Lucilia illustris), Lucilia sp., 큰검정빰금파리(Chrysomyia pinguis), 검정빰금파리(C. megacephala) 등 검정파리과(Calliphoridae)로 계절에 따라 차이가 있기는 하였지만 대체로 2일 이내에 성충이 사체를 찾아 들었다. 반면 매장처리에서는 신선기에 사체를 찾아드는 파리가 없었다. 쉬파리과(Sarcophagidae) 파리들은 유기 장소와 시기에 관계없이 사체에 유인되었으나 매장처리에 비하여 노출처리에 빨리 유인되었다. 또한 쉬파리과 파리는 온실에 유기한 사체에 더 빨리 유인되었으며 발생하는 시간도 짧았다. 온실에서 봄과 여름에는 신선기(fresh)에서 부패활성기(active decay) 사이에 유인되었으나 가을에는 신선기에서 부패진전기(advanced decay) 사이에 유인되었고, 겨울에는 부패진전기(advanced decay)와 유지기(remains) 사이에 유인되어 계절에 따른 부패단계에서도 발생하는 시기에 차이가 있었다. 큰검정파리와 두꼬리검정파리, 털검정파리는 봄과 겨울에 유기한 사체에 발생하는 우점종으로 fresh~active decay 단계에 주로 발생하여 활동시기가 다른 종과는 차이를 보였다. 매장된 사체에서는 검정파리과 유충보다는 쉬파리과 유충들이 먼저 출현하였다.

The total number of flies collected was 4,864 with sex ratio of 32.8% from Suseungdae area, Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam, Korea. The fauna of fly was 35 species consisting of 13 Calliphoridae, 12 Muscidae, 8 Sarcophagidae, 1 Dryomyzidae and 1 Anthomyiidae. The number of genus and species of Calliphoridae and Muscidae of Suseungdae area were similarly found in the mountain and residential areas, however, those of Sarcophagidae was similar with that of residential area. Calliphoridae was the most dominant family at the survey sites with 60.4% of the total collected flies, and followed Muscidae 33.3% and Sarcophagidae 6.2%. The dominant species were constituted of 83.6% of the total flies and the order of collected flies was Chrysomyia pinguis (42.2%), Limnophora sp. (10.8%), Muscina angustifrons (8.6%), Calliphora lata (8.1%), Fannia scalaris (5.5%), Lucilia caesar (3.9%), and Boettcherisca peregrina (4.2%). The seasonal prevalence of flies was from the middle of March to the end of November, and the peak time of appearance was the middle of June, middle of September and middle of October. The highest peak of prevalence was the middle of October. The similarity index of the flies was above 80%, compared to Mt. Geonheung and landfill in Geochang-gun. The number of fly species was more affected by the mean air temperature. In the comparison of the seasonal prevalence and relative abundance of 7 predominant species among 35 species, each species was found to exhibit its specific characteristics and showed the pattern of species.
