“…In captive animals, myiasis by C. hominivorax has been recorded in the hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibious Linnaeus, 1758) and the lesser grison (Galictis cuja Molina, 1782) in São Paulo and São Luís (ROSSI et al, 2009;FIGUEIREDO et al, 2010). Myiasis by other species has also been reported in a captive white-eared opossum (Didelphis albiventris Lund, 1840) from Brasilia caused by L. eximia (CANSI & BONORINO, 2011). Except for D. albiventris, all myiasis reported in wild mammals in Brazil was caused by C. hominivorax.…”

Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel, 1858), the New World screwworm, causes primary myiasis in wild and domestic animals in tropical and subtropical regions of Brazil. Although this species is considered to occur throughout the country, organized information about its recorded distribution has not been available until now. This article aimed to provide a comprehensive review of the historical and current data published on both immature (myiasis) and adult stages of C. hominivorax in Brazil. A total of 174 articles were found; of these, 141 articles reported myiasis cases in cattle (146 records), humans (68 records), and other mammalian hosts (40 records), and captures of adult flies were reported in 33 articles. C. hominivorax is widespread in Brazil, having been recorded in 208 municipalities in all major biomes of the country.

Larvae of Lucilia eximia typically cause secondary myiasis, although they may induce primary myiasis in cats, dogs, and rabbits, possibly transitioning to strict parasitism. To gain a deeper understanding of its physiology larvae were fed with pH indicator dyes mixed with fresh fish to determine the pH of each region of the digestive tract. Glycosidase and protease activities were assessed in homogenates prepared from salivary glands and sections of the digestive tracts of third instar larvae. Excreted/secreted products were extracted from larval-digested fresh fish. Trypsin was the only protease detected in the midgut, absent in salivary glands. Predominant glycosidases identified were α-D-mannosidase and α-D-glucosidase, showing high activity in the midgut and only trace amounts in salivary glands. Lysozyme activity was high in the midgut but low in salivary glands, diverticulum, and excreted/secreted products. This study identifies the major digestive enzymes of L. eximia larvae.

Little is known about parasites in wild mammals kept as pets. For this study, fecal and skin/fur samples and ectoparasites from 55 wild and pet mammals attended at a veterinary clinic were evaluated. Opossums (Didelphis albiventris and Didelphis aurita) were parasitized by helminths (Aspidodera sp., Cruzia tentaculata, Trichuris sp., Turgida turgida and Acanthocephala gen. sp.), screw-worm fly larvae (Cochliomyia hominivorax), ticks (Amblyomma dubitatum and Amblyomma sculptum) and fleas (Ctenocephalides felis). Hedgehogs (Atelerix albiventris) were parasitized by mites (Caparinia tripilis), capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) by ticks (A. dubitatum and A. sculptum), a ferret (Mustela putorius furo) by fleas (C. felis), an orange-spined hairy dwarf porcupine (Sphiggurus villosus) by screw-worm fly larvae (C. hominivorax) and another for ticks (Amblyomma longirostre). Overall, mites were found only in pet animals and helminths were found only in wild animals. Infestation by Caparinia tripilis was only found in animals with concomitant illness or stress. Cruzia tentaculata actively exited its opossum host by passing through the animal’s anus as its clinical condition worsened.
