Chrysomya putoria, also known as the tropical African latrine blowfly, is a fly species belonging to the blowfly family, Calliphoridae. C. putoria is native to Africa and has recently spread to the Americas. These flies pose significant health risks, especially due to their close association with human settlements. Adult flies can carry pathogens, while larvae may cause myiasis by growing and feeding on the flesh of domestic animals and humans. Other myiasis-causing flies in the same genus are C. bezziana and C. megacephala. C. putoria and other flies that feed on decomposing tissue are used as important tools in forensic entomology to establish the post-mortem interval, or the time elapsed since death.

  • Chrysomya putoria Wiedemann, 1830, è un insetto dell'Ordine dei Diptera Brachycera, superfamiglia , famiglia dei Calliphoridae. L'adulto ha il corpo con colori a riflessi metallici blu e verdi. Come molte altre specie della famiglia, questo insetto rappresenta un problema sotto l'aspetto igienico-sanitario: le larve, carnivore, si sviluppano sulla carne di animali a sangue caldo morti, ma spesso le deposizioni avvengono anche sui tessuti di animali viventi, in particolare attraverso piaghe e ferite, attaccando anche l'uomo.
