Ocular myasis and associated mucopurulent conjunctivitis in human eyes is a rare phenomenon. However, if the sheep bot fly abounds and poor hygienic environment prevails, the Oestrous ovis deposits its larvae in the conjunctival eye sac of human. The present paper reports a case study of ocular myasis among sheep farm workers caused by Oestrous ovis. The ocular myasis and the associated mucopurulent conjunctivitis are occupationally acquired in these cases. This study also suggests the treatment of patients and the recovery of the larvae.

The present study has shown that the aquaponics system provides certain environmental benefits when compared to the traditional agriculture systems. Presently, the low-cost small scale aquaponics system was standardised by Nutrient Film Technique. The water quality characteristics of Nutrient Film Technique (NFT) were stable as per the USEPA regulations. The values of the growth and weight gain features of millet and mustard plants at different days were significantly different (p<0.05). Growth rate was gradually increased significantly (p<0.01) during different culture periods. The ANOVA results revealed the recorded biochemical-values of NFT -raised organisms exhibited a less significance (p<0.04). The biochemical contents of millet plant showed significantly decreased values (p<0.03). The mean±SD values represents the NFT system plant growth exhibited an increased (p<0.05) significantly different with control. The NFT technique grown millet and mustard plants showed increased (p<0.05) significantly different with control experiment grown plants. Chlorophyll ‘a’ was high (8.17mg) in NFT and low (2.34mg) in control. Maximum chlorophyll ‘b’ content was 8.45mg in plants experiment with NFT and minimum obtained (0.84mg) in control. Carotenoid content was high 707mg in plants grown through NFT followed by low content (239mg) in control-plant. In addition, NFT system has obtained maximum number of colonies compared with control. Further investigation and implementation of alternative food systems could be a step in increasing local food production, and shifting away from the industrial global food market.
