Abstract
Ophthalmomyiasis is a zoonotic disease most often caused by the larvae of oestrus ovis (sheep fly). The
female O. ovis retains her eggs within her body until they hatch, and then typically deposits her larvae into the
nostrils of sheep and goats. Larvae of Oestrus ovis are obligate parasites of the nasal and sinus cavities of sheep and
goats, so this parasite is widespread in countries where the climate is hot and dry and sheep and goats are numerous.
