The Mexican Health Ministry has recorded the country’s first human case of myiasis caused by screwworm.
The government said on Friday that the case was detected in a 77-year-old woman from the municipality of Acacoyagua, in the southern state of Chiapas.
Authorities said the old woman is currently in stable condition and receiving antibiotic treatment.
Myiasis is a parasitic infection that occurs when fly larvae infest open wounds, feeding on living tissue.
