Abstract:
Dipteran larvae were collected from wounds of 78 domestic animals. The larvae were identified as follows: Wohlfahrtia magnifica, taken from dogs (the majority), goats, sheep, camels, horses and one cat; Lucilia sericata, from cats, sheep, one horse, and one dog together with Chrysomya albiceps; Przhevalskiana silenus from goats and Musca domestica from one sheep. The animals were treated with antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents and insecticides and most animals fully recovered. We believe this to be the first record of L. sericata and C. albiceps taken together from a dog. Likewise, the presence of W. magnifica in cats appears to be a first record.
