| Abstract | ||
| Lucilia sericata is one of the facultative parasites which cause myiasis in animals and rarely in humans as an ectoparasite. Infestation in humans and domestic herbivorous animals occurs in wounds which was causes itching and inflammation. We report on a 4-year-old goat from Kerman, with signs of anorexia, progressive emaciation, decreasing mental clearness, and coma. From the wounds of her oral cavity, many live larvae were removed. The larvae proved to be L. sericata. This present report is the first report of oral myasis with osteolysis caused by L. sericata in goat. | ||
