Out of 3350 leprosy patients attending the surgical outpatient department for various ulcerative lesions, 18 patients had typical symptoms of myiasis. Maggots were collected in 5 cases from the nose, in 3 cases from ulcers of the hand and in 10 cases from ulcers of the foot. It was possible to rear the maggots into flies in 8 out of 18 cases. The flies were identified as Sarcophaga ruficornis and Chrysomyia bezziana.
