Ninety-nine mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) from four Utah counties (Cache, Utah, Sanpete and Sevier) were examined for larvae of Cephenemyia spp. in 1985 and 1986. Numbers of first, second and third stage bot fly instars were related to age, sex, year and geographic location of the ...
On rare occasions, humans have been infected with bot fly larvae. The first stage larvae have been found migrating in the skin (cutaneous myiasis) and in the eye (ocular myiasis). Horse bots have also been reported in the stomach of humans. Because of this, you may want to wear gloves ...
