Applied behavior analysis. Applied behavior analysis (ABA) is a scientific discipline concerned with analyzing the principles of learning and behavioral control, developing usable methods from these principles, and systematically applying these methods to change behavior of social significance.
A botfly, also written bot fly, bott fly or bot-fly in various combinations, is any fly in the family Oestridae. Their lifecycles vary greatly according to species, but the larvae of all species are internal parasites of mammals.
There are two groups of flies that do have larval stages that live on or in human skin. One, the human bot fly (Dermatobia hominis, family Oestridae), has large, 1-2 cm (Â½-1 inch) long, larvae that live and feed in the skin. These flies are not found in North America, only in Central and South America.However, there are rare cases of rodent bots infesting humans in California.The other flies, with larvae that feed on humans, are screw worms and blowflies (family Calliphoridae). The larvae of these flies feed on dead or decaying tissue, and less commonly living tissue.owever, there are rare cases of rodent bots infesting humans in California.
