Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous myiasis, one of the most frequently diagnosed myiasis types, is defined as skin or soft tissue on a living host infested by dipterous larvae (maggots). However, bibliometric analysis of this disease remains sparse. Machine learning techniques and updated publications provide an opportunity for such an investigation.
