Scanning Electron Microscopy of Sarcophagid (Diptera) Larvae Recovered from a Case of Human Cutaneous Myiasis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Scanning electron microscope observations were made on second instars of unindentified sarcophagid maggots recovered from the foot of a 2-mo-old child. The child had a 3-d history of irritation and swelling of the left foot, and larvae were present in the skin on the plantar surfaces. The lesions were not furuncular, but erythema and a serous exudate were evident and swelling of the infested toes was noted. Larvae were removed manually from the lesions and fixed in formalin. External features, examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were typical for muscomorph larvae and shared features common to other sarcophagids. Details of the cephalic, thoracic, and terminal abdominal sensory structures and variation in the structure of spines from various body regions are described. Comparisons of SEM observations on the cephalic, thoracic, and posterior abdominal regions with other published information did not yield information that allowed the accurate identification of the larvae from this infestation.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.
How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
