SCHINERIA LARVAE
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Schineria |
| Species: | Schineria larvae |
| Description: | Adjective larvae pertaining to the origin of the type strain isolated from Wohlfahrtia magnifica maggots).Cells are straight, short, single rods (2-3μmx0.8-0.9μm),non-motile and encapsulated,occurring singly at all ages. On agar media colonies are non-pigmented, small (1±3 mm in diameter), circular with entire margin and smooth surface. Strictly aerobic,NO₃¯ not reduced. Optimum growth occurs between pH 6 and 10. |

| Source: | Isolated from the L1 and L2 stage larvae of an obligate parasitic fly,Wohlfahrtia magnifica |
| Pathogenicity: | In humans, myiasis most frequently causes infection of exposed ulcers or traumatic wounds. It can induce bacteremia in humans. |
