“…Nine articles reported the occurrence of myiasis in dogs in the states of Rio Grande do Sul (SPAGNOL et al, 2006;FIGHERA, 2008;SOUZA et al, 2009), Rio de Janeiro (CRAMER-RIBEIRO et al, 2003;CORREIA et al, 2010), Federal District (CANSI & DEMO, 2011;NAME et al, 2012), São Paulo (PENA, 2007) and Goiás (LUSTOSA et al, 1983). Myiasis in cats has been reported only in Rio de Janeiro (MENDES-DE-ALMEIDA et al, 2007;SOUZA CP et al, 2010a;MAROTTA et al, 2011) and the Federal District (CANSI & DEMO, 2011). The occurrence of myiasis in pets is certainly underestimated in all states.…”

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.

“…Recent information about treating screw worm fly ( Cochliomyia hominivorax ) infestation in cats with nitenpyram (11.4 mg PO; Capstar, Novartis Animal Health) as a single treatment suggests that it is safe, fast and effective at killing insect larvae and may therefore offer a suitable and less expensive treatment 16 …”

Nasal myiasis in a cat caused by larvae of the nasal bot fly,Oestrus ovis

An 8-year-old desexed male Burmese cat, which lived on a sheep-grazing property in central New South Wales, Australia, was presented following the sudden onset of dyspnoea, moist coughing and violent sneezing. The respiratory distress started several hours after the cat had made an outdoor excursion. Anterior rhinoscopy demonstrated small, white objects moving across oedematous and moderately inflamed nasal mucosa. These were retrieved via a series of vigorous nasal flushes and subsequently identified as larvae of the nasal bot fly, Oestrus ovis. The cat was treated with ivermectin followed by selamectin 7 days later. It went on to make a complete recovery over 2-3 weeks.

“…In cats, Co. hominivorax has been historically detected in the USA, Curaçao, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Brazil and Argentina (Table 3). The country with the highest number of reported cases is Brazil, with reports from Rio de Janeiro [86–90] and the Federal District [91]. In Rio de Janeiro, this infestation has been reported as “quite common” in cats [90], infesting wounds [88–90, 92–96] and ears, oral and nasal cavities [88, 89].…”

Myiasis in domestic cats: a global review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Myiasis is an infestation caused by larvae of Diptera in humans and other vertebrates. In domestic cats, Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae), four dipteran families have been reported as agents of obligatory and facultative myiasis: Oestridae, Calliphoridae, Sarcophagidae and Muscidae. Among agents of obligatory myiasis, the most frequent genus is Cuterebra Clark (Oestridae) and the most frequent species is Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel) (Calliphoridae). Among the agents of facultative myiasis, the most frequent species is Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Calliphoridae). A survey of myiasis in cats reported in literature shows that the cases are distributed worldwide and linked to the geographical range of the dipteran species. Factors favouring the occurrence of myiasis in cats are prowling in infested areas, poor hygiene conditions due to diseases and/or neglect, and wounds inflicted during territorial or reproductive competition. The aim of the review is to provide an extended survey of literature on myiasis in cats, as general information and possible development of guidelines for veterinarians, entomologists and other researchers interested in the field.
