First report of oestrosis in aoudad from southeastern Spain

Patricia Barroso et al. Parasitol Res. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

In spring 2016, we analyzed the skull of 44 aoudads (Ammotragus lervia) from Sierra Espuña Regional Park (SE Spain) for the presence of oestrid larvae. Oestrus ovis larvae were found in 27.3% of sampled hosts, with a mean intensity of 1.5 ± 6.1 larvae/per parasitized host (range 1-21). To our knowledge, this is the first report of oestrosis affecting this host species.

Keywords: Ammotragus lervia; Epidemiology; Oestrus ovis; Sierra Espuña Regional Park; Spain.
