Abstract
Traumatic myiasis is a parasitic infestation resulting from feeding fly larvae in traumatic lesions in the cutaneous tissues of vertebrate hosts. Species that cause traumatic myiasis are found in the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. This study evaluated the traumatic myiasis cases detected during examining animals brought to Dicle University Wildlife Rescue, Rehabilitation, Training, Practice, and Research Center with wound complaints between 2020-2022. Species determinations of the larvae collected from traumatic myiasis cases were detected in five different animals were made as morphological and molecular, and four species were detected, including Lucilia sericata, Wohlfahrtia magnifica, Calliphora vicina, and Calliphora vomitria. We report a case of traumatic myiasis in the Euphrates softshell turtle and Wild goat for the first time. In order to reduce the exposure of wild animals to traumatic myiasis, new strategies for fly control need to be developed.
