Would anybody, please, help me translate this Spanish word to Enlish?

The word is "MIASIS". I found this word in a forensic report which says that the cadaver was found with abundant miasis.

thank you Jorge

I could not find M I A S I S (an accronym) or miasis. Please check the spelling or put the whole Spanish context if possible. - Jubilado, Aug 31, 2013

It is already translated, I watch "Huesos" in Spanish every once and a while. - 00551866, Aug 31, 2013

Possibly a misspelling of miosis. If so it means the equivalent of myosis in English.
