Cordylobiosis

Cordylobosis is a disease caused by the larvae of Cordylobia mealworms, which are transmitted by contact when the larvae come into contact with the skin and then through the bloodstream into various tissues and organs, causing infection. This disease is quite common in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Africa, Western Asia and North America.

Mealworm larvae have a small body shape, about 5 mm long and white in color, which are found in "cohesive" (earthworm-like) patterns and clusters in dry surface layers of soil, feces, plant litter or debris found near standing water sources, drainage ditches, shafts, side trenches and underground sewer systems.

People can be exposed to larvae when working in unprotected or contaminated

Problem Definition

Cordylobosis (from Latin cordylis - astragalus and Greek oxy - fox) (syn.: astragalus dermoea, astragalus mite, less commonly - cutaneous hyalosis mite) is a rare parasitic skin disease caused by little-studied larvae of astragalus mites-ectoparasites of the genus Cordylobia. These are systemic skin invasions that occur as erythema nodosum.

Clinical picture

* Main symptoms of core

Cordylobiosis is a condition in which a person is infected with an infectious tapeworm parasite called echinococcosis. The causative agent of the disease is the liver fluke. Echinococcus belongs to the kingdom of animals, which have features of both plants and fauna, such as worms, but are also organisms with cilia and differentiated tissues. Typically, worms and animals molt more than once during ontogenesis, and echinococci, due to their parasitic lifestyle, do not grow in length
