“…As to dogs, it should be noted that in domestic carnivores (dogs and cats) O. ovis infestions are less common than in humans, having been sporadically described in dogs from India [ 11 ], Spain [ 12 , 13 ], New Zealand [ 14 ], and UK [ 16 ] and in a cat from Australia [ 15 ]. Low occurrence of O. ovis infestions in domestic carnivores might be due to peculiar sheep bot fly preferences and, in general, due to the strong relationship between oestrids and herbivores.…”

A companion dog from Milan province (northern Italy), presenting with frequent and violent sneezing, underwent rhinoscopy, laryngoscopy, and tracheoscopy procedures. During rhinoscopy, a dipteran larva was isolated from the dog and identified as first instar larval stage of O. ovis by morphological features. Reports of O. ovis in domestic carnivores are sporadic and nevertheless this infestion should be considered as a possible differential diagnosis of rhinitis in domestic carnivores living in contaminated areas by the fly as consequence of the presence of sheep and goats. This report described a case of autochthonous infestion in a dog from an area where O. ovis was not historically present but it could be affected by a possible expansion of the fly as a consequence of climate change. This is the first record of Oestrus ovis infestion in a dog in Italy and, at the same time, the most northerly finding of larvae of sheep bot fly in the country.

“…There are reports that O. ovis is attracted to domestic animals other than sheep and goats. Webb and Grillo (2010) described a case in which numerous first‐stage larvae were flushed from the nasal passages of a cat in New South Wales, Australia, and several incidents have now been reported in dogs (Lucientes and others 1997, Lujan and others 1998, Heath and Johnson 2001). In dogs, development to the mature third larval instar can occur, which contradicts the long‐held belief that such aberrant fly behaviour will fail to result in progressive larval moults and growth in these unusual hosts (Zumpt 1965).…”

In March 2011, a dog on a sheep farm in the Cotswolds, UK, expelled a mature live third-stage larva of the sheep nasal botfly, Oestrus ovis, after a violent and traumatic sneezing episode. The dog had been infected with first-stage larvae deposited by an adult fly the previous autumn; larval development had progressed throughout the winter and spring with few apparent clinical signs and possibly masked by ongoing immunotherapy for an unrelated condition. Identification of the parasite at the Liverpool School of Veterinary Science was made from a submitted puparium, the "chrysalis" stage to which the larva had progressed within days of its expulsion from dog's nose. To the authors' knowledge this is the first report of nasal botfly infestation of a dog in the UK.

“…There are reports of dipteran larvae in cats by Cuterebra spp. (5-8), C. hominivorax (9, 10), L. sericata (11)(12)(13)(14), O. ovis (15), C. erythrocephala (16) and W. magnifica (12). P. regina has not previously been reported as a cause of disease in a cat, also reported cases of human myiasis involving larvae of this species of fly are very rare.…”

“…There are scarce reports of myiasis in cats by Cuterebra spp. (5)(6)(7)(8), Cochliomyia hominivorax (9, 10), Lucilia sericata (11)(12)(13)(14), Oestrus ovis (15), Calliphora erythrocephala (16), Wohlfahrtia magnifica (12). Phormia regina more commonly known as the black blowfly, belongs to the blowfly family Calliphoridae.…”

ÖZETKedilerde myiasis görülmesi nadirdir. Erken aşamada tedavi edilmezse dipteran larvaların yoğun enfestasyonu ölüme yol açabilir. Yeni doğan üç kedi yavrusunda aural, anal ve umbilikal myiasis tespit edildi. Dipteran larvalar toplandı, %70'lik alkolde tespit edildi ve %10'luk KOH'de birkaç gün şeffaflandırıldı. Daha sonra larvalar steromikroskop altında diseke edildi, preparatlar hazırlandı ve daha sonra stigma ve cephaloskeleton yapılarına göre üçüncü dönem black blowfly, Phormia regina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) olarak teşhis edildi. Orijinal ölçüler ve şekiller sunuldu. Tedavi mekanik olarak larvaların uzaklaştırılmasını ve polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine kompleks ile bölgenin temizlenmesini kapsamaktadır. Türkiye'de kedilerde P. regina'nın varlığı ilk kez bildirilmektedir. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2014; 38: 71-5) Anahtar Sözcükler: Phormia regina, aural, anal ve umbilikal myiasis, kedi Geliş Tarihi: 11.07.2013Kabul Tarihi: 12.11.2013 ABSTRACTThe occurrence of feline myiasis is rare. Massive infestations of dipteran larvae can lead to death if not treated at an early stage. Auricular, anal and umbilical myiasis was detected in three neonatal kittens. The dipteran larvae were collected, fixed in 70% alcohol and clarified with 10% KOH for a few days. Later, larvae were dissected under the stereomicroscope, mounted on slides and then identified as the third instar of the black blowfly, Phormia regina (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae), according to their stigmatic and cephaloskeleton structures. Original measurements and figures are presented. Treatment included mechanical removal of larvae and cleansing of the area by applying polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine complex. The presence of P. regina in cats has been reported here for the first time in Turkey. (Turkiye Parazitol Derg 2014; 38: 71-5)
