Three species of <em>Cordylobia</em> are known: <em>C. anthropophaga, C. rodhaini</em> and <em>C. ruandae. </em>The <em>C. rodhaini </em>Gedoelst 1909 lives in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially in rain forest areas. Usual hosts are rodents and antelopes. Humans are accidentally infested. Myiasis caused by <em>C. rodhaini </em>has been very rarely reported in the literature. We present three cases of <em>C. rodhaini</em> myiasis acquired in Ethiopia and Uganda.</p> ER -
