Article Synopsis
- - Oestrus ovis is a parasite causing myiasis in sheep and goats, particularly in the Mediterranean, with a significant prevalence of 56.3% identified in a study of 3476 animals from 2009 to 2019.
- - The prevalence was higher in sheep (61.2%) compared to goats (43%), and peaked in 2018, with autumn being the most infested season for sheep and winter for goats; temperature, rather than rainfall, correlated with prevalence rates.
- - Most larvae were found in specific anatomical regions, with an average intensity of 12.8 larvae per animal, showing a notable increase in recent years linked to rising temperatures.
