“…Other predisposing conditions involve inadequately treated surgical incisions in cats (Han et al., 2018; Rawlins, 1985; de Souza et al., 2010) and in dogs (Fois et al., 2012; Moshaverinia & Kazemi Mehrjerdi, 2016; Rawlins, 1985; Rawlins et al., 1983). There are also reports of myiasis in dogs due to unusual predisposing conditions such as abrasions due to tight collars (Tannahill et al., 1980), branding scars (Rawlins, 1985) and pododermatitis (Han et al., 2018; McNae & Lewis, 2004).…”

Two cases of cutaneous myiasis diagnosed in 2018 in Emilia‐Romagna region (northern Italy) were reported. The first one, described in a domestic cat Felis silvestris catus L. (Carnivora: Felidae) and caused by Calliphora vicina Robineau‐Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae), was the first one of this type ever reported in Italy in cats. The second one was described in a domestic dog Canis lupus familiaris L. (Carnivora: Canidae) and caused by Lucilia sericata (Meigen) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) and was unusual because it occurred in absence of lesions. An extensive literature search on cutaneous myiasis in these two domestic animal species was performed in order to draw attention to predisposing conditions and risk factors.

“…In each of these instances, regulatory measures that included the strategic release of sterile insects were necessary to ensure that establishment and spread did not occur. In addition to the United States, screwworm incursions have occurred in Mexico on several occasions, and even the Caribbean Island of Curacao was reinfested 20 yr after original eradication (Tannahill et al 1980). In each occurrence, it has been necessary to carry out emergency releases of sterile insects to suppress the population and prevent reestablishment.…”

Introduction of Nonindigenous Arthropod Pests of Animals

A variety of pathways exist for the introduction of nonindigenous insects, ticks, and mites of veterinary importance into the United States. The most prominent includes the natural migration of mosquitoes and flies by the flight of adults, ectoparasites entering the country on wildlife transport hosts, and accidental introductions on animals legally imported through United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) quarantine facilities. Examples of the establishment and subsequent eradication of exotic pests of livestock are presented to illustrate the critical role of the USDA in protecting American agriculture with particular emphasis on the southern cattle tick, Boophilus microplus (Canestrini), the cattle tick, B. annulatus (Say), and the screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel). Priority group rating of nonindigenous arthropod pests and disease vectors are discussed. Although the primary responsibility for preventing the introduction and establishment of arthropods that affect livestock and poultry rests on the shoulders of USDA professionals, insect surveys by extension entomologists along with observations by research specialists and producers are also important in detecting exotic arthropod species. Animal health professionals from all sectors of the livestock and poultry industries may well be the first line of defense from the introduction of nonindigenous arthropods and the diseases they transmit.
