<P> Patients should be monitored for additional and subsequent lesions, as development does not occur in unison and some larvae may take longer to reach the prepupal stage . Antiseptics or antibiotics may be useful to prevent bacterial infection after removal of the larvae, but in practice are not often necessary; the secretions of the larva tend to discourage bacterial growth . As a rule, the wound may be expected to heal readily . </P> <P> The tumbu fly is endemic to the tropical regions of Africa, south of the Sahara . Myiasis caused by C. anthropophaga is the most common cause of myiasis in Africa, but can be seen worldwide because of air travel, as human movements carry infestation outside endemic areas . </P> <P> The fly commonly infects humans by laying its eggs on wet clothes, left out to dry . The eggs hatch in one to three days and the larvae (which can survive without a host for up to 15 days) then burrow into the skin when the clothes are worn . A prevention method is to iron all clothes, including underwear, which kills the eggs / larvae . </P>
