    Myiases are caused by the presence of maggots in vertebrate tissues and organs. Myiases have been studied widely in humans, farm animals, and pets, whereas reports of myiasis in reptiles are scarce. We describe a case of myiasis caused by the Megaselia scalaris (Loew) in an Indian python (Python molurus bivittatus, Kuhl) (Ophida: Boidae). The python, 15 yr old, born and reared in a terrarium in the mainland of Venice (Italy), was affected by diffuse, purulent pneumonia caused by Burkholderia cepacia. The severe infestation of maggots found in the lungs during an autopsy indicated at a myiasis

    Anomalous origin of the left circumflex (LC) coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is the most common coronary anomaly and, generally, is considered to be benign.Nevertheless, myocardial infarction or sudden death in young patients with this coronary anomaly has infrequently been described.We report 2 cases of anomalous origin of the LC coronary artery from right aortic sinus, free of atherosclerotic obstructive lesions, presenting clinically with either myocardial infarction or effort angina
