Abstract : Megaselia scalaris is one of the medically important insects. This is the first report of M. scalaris as a causative agent of urinary human myiasis in Saudi Arabia. Maggots from a urine sample of a 5-year-old Saudi girl were examined microscopically for identification. These maggots were cultured to become adult flies. Larvae and adults were identified using standard keys. Protozoan flagellates were obtained from the gut of the larvae. Theses flagellates need further investigation for identification.
