Abstract

When the head of a sheep was split into two along its longitudinal axis during a pathological examination, a large number of Oestrus ovis larvae were found in the nasal cavities, middle nasal meatus and sinuses of the sheep. A total of 114 Oestrus ovis larvae were collected, including 87 (76.32%) first stage larvae, 25 (21.93%) second stage larvae and 2 (1.75%) third stage larvae from the regions given above.
