Molecular Characterization of Hypoderma SPP. in Domestic Ruminants from Turkey and Pakistan.

The aim of this study was to determine the morphological and molecular characterization of Hypoderma spp. in cattle and yak from provinces in Turkey and Pakistan. In total, 78 Hypoderma larvae were collected from slaughtered animals in Turkey and Pakistan from October 2015 to January 2016.

The investigation of lipid peroxidation, anti-oxidant levels and some hematological parameters in sheep naturally infested with Wohlfahrtia magnifica larvae.

Wohlfahrtia magnifica is the main agent of traumatic myiasis in many central and eastern European countries as well as in the Mediterranean basin and Asian countries. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of myiasis infestation on lipid peroxidation, antioxidant levels and several hematological parameters in the sheep naturally infested with W. magnifica larvae.

A serological and molecular survey of cattle hypodermosis in east-Turkey.

The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of hypodermosis in cattle in East-Turkey and to identify Hypoderma species using morphological and molecular methods. For this purpose, a total of 778 serum samples of cattle were collected from Erzurum provinces of east-Turkey from December 2008 to February 2009. The sera were analyzed using a Hypodermin C antigen by means of indirect ELISA.

Bilateral aural myiasis (Wohlfahrtia magnifica): a case with chronic suppurative otitis media.

Myiasis is a disease caused by fly larvae and aural myiasis is a rare clinic condition often occuring in children or mentally retarded people. We report the case of an unusual presentation of a bilateral aural myiasis in a mentally retarded patient with bilateral chronic otitis media caused by the third instar larvae of Wohlfahrtia magnifica. Two larvae were located on the other ear canal while two additional larvae were located in the middle ear cavity and were removed through perforation of the tympanic membrane.

Ophthalmomyiasis is not only a problem for rural regions of Eastern Anatolia of Turkey.

Background: Ophthalmomyiasis externa results from infestation of the conjunctiva by the larval or maggot form of Oestrus ovis. It is common in sheep-farming areas, especially in Mediterranean countries.

Case Report: A 40-year-old man was admitted to the ophthalmology outpatient clinic at State Hospital.

[Determination of Hypoderma bovis and Przhevalskiana silenus somatic antigens using SDS-PAGE.].

The aim of this study was to examine larval antigens obtained from the third instar larvae of Hypoderma bovis and Przhevalskiana silenus using the sodium dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method. SDS-PAGE separation was performed using 12% separation gel and 5% stacking gel. At the end of the SDS-PAGE examination, 11 and 19 different polypeptide bands were detected between 6-66 kDa and 6-100 kDa in the third instar larvae antigen of H.

A case of cutaneous myiasis caused by Wohlfahrtia magnifica.

Myiasis is caused by the invasion of tissues or organs of man or animals by dipterous larvae. The disease is infrequent in Turkey; it is observed particularly in people with some predisposing factors. A 46-year-old male farmer with nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) presented with the complaint of a blood-tinged discharge and pain in the left frontal-temporal region for three days.
