Naso-pharyngeal myiasis in red deer is caused by two fly species. Males and older deer show higher parasite loads, possibly due to behavioral differences and increased head size.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Entomology
  • Parasitology
  • Wildlife Ecology

Background:

  • Naso-pharyngeal myiasis is a parasitic infection affecting ungulates.
  • Oestridae flies (botflies) are common parasites of deer worldwide.
  • Understanding host-parasite dynamics is crucial for wildlife health management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey naso-pharyngeal myiasis in red deer (Cervus elaphus) in southern Spain.
  • To identify the specific Oestridae species involved and their prevalence.
  • To investigate factors influencing parasite intensity and distribution within the host population.

Main Methods:

  • Field survey of red deer in southern Spain.
  • Identification of parasitic larvae through morphological examination.

  • Statistical analysis of prevalence and intensity data in relation to host factors (age, sex).

    • Main Results:

    • Pharyngomyia picta and Cephenemyia auribarbis larvae were identified as the causative agents.
    • Higher prevalence and intensity of infection were observed in male and older red deer.
    • P. picta was more abundant than C. auribarbis, despite coexisting in the same host cavities.

    Conclusions:

    • Host factors like sex and age, potentially linked to behavior and physical characteristics, influence myiasis intensity.
    • Asynchronous life cycles, including earlier larviposition and faster development of C. auribarbis, may reduce interspecific competition.
    • Findings provide insights into the ecological interactions between sympatric Oestridae species and their red deer hosts.
