Bir Teke (Capra hircus)'de Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)'dan Kaynaklanan Preputial Myiasis Olgusu.

Myiasis is a disease that occurs when adult forms of some diptera species are non-parasitic, while larval forms (Diptera: Calliphoridae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae) feed on necrotic, living, or dead tissues of humans and vertebrates or fluids from body tissues or ingested food. Myiasis causes serious economic losses and health problems in humans and animals, especially in rural areas of tropical and subtropical countries where cattle, sheep and goat breeding are common. The case of myiasis is classified in many ways according to the parasite-host relationships or the tissues and organs in which the diptera larvae located: external myiasis if it settles on the skin surface of the hosts; internal myiasis if it settles in organs or body cavities. Diptera larvae collected from the preputium of a sacrificial goat were brought to the parasitology laboratory in 70% ethanol for identification. According to the microscopic examination, third instar larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) were detected in samples. The aim of this study was to present the cases of external and internal myiasis in Turkey, together with the first case of preputial myiasis of goat caused by W. magnifica in Turkey.
