The botfly larvae are laid directly on mammal hosts or by the use of intermediate vectors. The larvae are obligate parasites that bore into the skin. I suppose than this is not aseptic and could lead to contagion from opportunistic microorganisms, but the initial transfers and intermediate vectors are not considered contagion.
