Well, a google search for previous posts by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> to 
alt.med.veterinary is fruitless, as is a search for previous posts on 
"myasis" [sic] or "myiasis" relating to dogs and humans as noted above. 
So, I have no idea what in particular you are talking about.

However, if the location of the specialist you plan to see is within the 
US, I'd certainly expect them to have learned about this problem. It's 
funny, I was just going over some notes from vet school the other day to 
find some information for a friend (whose mom's dog was just diagnosed 
with cuterebra!) and I read a few paragraphs on bots while looking for the 
other information :)
