Genus Cuterebra refers to a group of botflies commonly found in North America. They are known to infest rodents and other small mammals, and their larvae burrow through the skin, causing a condition called cuterebriasis. There are various synonyms for Genus Cuterebra, including Dermatobia, Diptera, and Oestridae. These synonyms are used to describe specific aspects of the botfly, such as its relationship with the host, its classification as a type of fly, and its family name. Regardless of the term used, all aspects of Genus Cuterebra are of interest to those studying entomology and animal health, as well as anyone hoping to prevent infestation.
