Nasal Myiasis

Abstract: First larval stage (L1) of Oestrus ovis was recovered by flushing of the nasal cavity during rhinoscopy in an urban living dog. The dog was taken to the Small animal clinic after an acute onset of sneezing and bilateral nasal discharge. In Europe, there are sporadic reports of nasal myiasis in dogs caused by sheep bot flies, and the overall prevalence of O. ovis is high in Mediterranean countries. Because of its habitat expansion due to climate change, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis when an animal patient presents with signs of rhinitis in areas bordering the Mediterranean climate. This is the first report of a dog infested by sheep nasal bot fly in Slovenia.Key words: Oestrus ovis; sheep bot fly; nasal myiasis; dog; climate changesPRVI PRIMER PASJE MIAZE Z OVČJIM NOSNIM ZOLJEM, Oestrus ovis, V SLOVENIJIIzvleček: Med rinoskopijo in spiranjem nosne votline, smo pri psu, ki živi v urbanem okolju, ugotovili ličinke prve stopnje (L1) zajedavca Oestrus ovis. Lastniki so psa pripeljali na Kliniko za male živali po akutnem izbruhu kihanja in bilateralnega nosnega izcedka. V Evropi so dokumentirani sporadični primeri nosne miaze pri psih zaradi ovčjega nosnega zolja, O. ovis, in skupna prevalenca ovčjega zajedavca je v mediteranskih državah visoka. Zaradi klimatskih sprememb, se habitat nosnih zoljev čedalje bolj širi, za kar je pomembno O. ovis vključiti v seznam diferencialnih diagnoz pri pacientih s kliničnimi znaki rinitisa tudi na področjih, ki mejijo na mediteransko klimo. To je prvi opisan primer infestacije psa z ovčjim nosnim zoljem v Sloveniji.Ključne besede: Oestrus ovis; ovčja nosni zolj; nosna miaza; pes; podnebne spremembe

Nasal Myiasis

Infection by the larval form of Oestrus ovis (sheep bot fly) is common in many areas of Peru. This is an obligate parasite of sheep and goats, and it is the cause of oestrosis, or nasal myiasis, which can lead to severe clinical manifestations in livestock. A case of myiasis caused byO. ovis in a llama (Lama glama) in Cuzco, Peru, is reported here. This llama presented with respiratory distress and died due to bilateral hemorrhagic pneumonia. During the necropsy, six intact dipterous larvae were recovered from the nasal fossae and cranial sinuses being identified as O. ovis. This is the first report of nasal myiasis in llamas due to O. ovis in Peru.

Nasal Myiasis

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 ofO. ovisby morphological features. Reports ofO. ovisin 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 whereO. oviswas 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 ofOestrus ovisinfestion in a dog in Italy and, at the same time, the most northerly finding of larvae of sheep bot fly in the country.

AbstractNasal myiasis is the infestation of the nasal cavities by larvae (maggots) of Diptera flies. Several species of flies deposit their ova in the nose and the larvae feed on the host's tissues. We present a case of nasal myiasis by larvae of Oestrus ovis – Sheep Nasal Bot Fly. The larvae of Oestrus ovis are well known parasites in the nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses of sheep and goat. In Britain very rarely larvae may be deposited in the eye, nostrils or outer ear of man, usually husbandry workers. Reputedly, the larvae never survive beyond the first stage with acute catarrhal symptoms lasting only a few days.This is the first reported case in the UK of an urban-dwelling patient infected by mature, third instar larvae of O. ovis. His nasal infestation resolved after endoscopic removal of the live maggots.

The islands of Tinos and Syros in the Cyclades Archipelago, Greece, have a hilly terrain, a mild Mediterranean climate and vegetation adapted to drought conditions. Caper (<em>Capparis</em> <em>spinosa</em> L.) is highly adapted to arid environments and grows successfully during the Mediterranean summer. In August 2015, we detected serious infestations on wild caper by <em>Eurydema</em> <em>eckerleini</em> (Pentatomidae), which was formerly considered a species endemic to Crete and the Peloponnese, with an isolated report in Turkey. This is the first record of the presence of<em> E. eckerleini</em> in the Cyclades.
