RGD DISEASE ONTOLOGY - ANNOTATIONS

RGD uses the Human Disease Ontology (DO, https://disease-ontology.org/) for disease curation across species. RGD automatically downloads each new release of the ontology on a monthly basis. Some additional terms which are required for RGD's curation purposes but are not currently covered in the official version of DO have been added. As corresponding terms are added to DO, these custom terms are retired and the DO terms substituted in existing annotations and subsequently used for curation.
Term:screw worm infectious disease

Accession:DOID:12927 term browser browse the term
Definition:A myiasis that involves parasitic infestation of Cochliomyia hominivorax or Chrysomya bezziana larvae, which feed on the living tissues of warm-blooded animals. In Cochliomyia infestation, larvae migrate from the subdermis to other tissues in the body, causing extreme damage in the process. Chrysomya bezziana larvae feed and can cause permanent tissue damage. (DO)
Synonyms:exact_synonym: screw worm infection;   screw worm infections
 primary_id: MESH:D012610
 xref: EFO:0007479
