| Abstract | ||
| Myiasis is defined as the infestation of living tissues of vertebrates by dipteran fly larvae. Clinically, based on the affected organ of host by dipteran larvae the type of myiasis is determined. Oral myiasis is a rare type of myiasis. A Two year-old goat with history of anorexia was referred to the veterinary clinic. Physical examinations showed the gingival myiasis in lower jaw. A total number of 10 larvae were removed from affected gum and were transferred to parasitology laboratory. In parasitology laboratory anterior and posterior spiracles and cephalopharyngial skeleton of larvae were separated under the stereomicroscope. After clearing of them, they were studied under the light microscope. Based on morphological characteristics of these structures wohlfahrtia magnifica was identified as causative agent of this rare type of myiasis. The present report is the first report of gingival myiasis in goat. | ||
