  • Title: Intracranial myiasis by Hypoderma bovis (Linnaeus) in a horse.
    Author: Hadlow WJ, Ward JK, Krinsky WL.
    Journal: Cornell Vet; 1977 Apr; 67(2):272-81. PubMed ID: 870288.
    Abstract:
    Acute neurologic disease associated with intracranial migration of a first instar larva of a warble fly, Hypoderma bovis (Linnaeus), was observed in a 14-year-old Quarter Horse gelding in western Montana. The disease was characterized by incoordination of gait, circling to the left, head tilt to the right, partial paralysis of the right side of the face, and impaired vision in the right eye. Two and one-half hours after it was first noticed sick, the horse collapsed and was euthanized. Massive hemorrhage unaccompanied by necrosis or significant cellular response was present in the right side of the midbrain and pons.
