TLDR
Myiasis causing parasites are found worldwide and are especially widespread in the countries of Europe and Africa bordering the Mediterranean Basin and global warming could enable them to move northwards in Europe, with damaging consequences for the naive hosts that would thereby be exposed.

Myiasis in man and animals in the old world

TL;DR: This investigation revealed the presence of three species of Acanthocephala (Neoechinorhynchus pseudemydis, N. emyditoides, and N. chrysemydis) in Louisiana turtles and confirms Fisher’s (1960) work.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dairy goat production systems: status quo, perspectives and challenges.

TL;DR: In developing countries the dairy goat sector requires a systemic approach, whereby nutrition, animal health, breeding, know-how, inputs and technologies must be assembled, to allow the optimization of natural and local resources and promote the transition from a risk reduction strategy towards an increased productivity strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Traumatic Myiasis: A Neglected Disease in a Changing World

TL;DR: The incursion of the New World screwworm fly into Libya is the most notable of many such range shifts and demonstrates the potential risks of these parasites and the costs of removing them once established in a geographic area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of seselin from Clausena anisata (Rutaceae) leaves and its effects on the feeding and development of Lucilia cuprina larvae may explain its use in ethnoveterinary medicine

TL;DR: This is the first report of the isolation of seselin from the leaves of Clausena anisata and the first reported of the compound having an effect against blowfly larvae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toxicity and oviposition deterrence of essential oils of Clinopodium nubigenum and Lavandula angustifolia against the myiasis-inducing blowfly Lucilia sericata.

TL;DR: The observed antibacterial and antifungal properties of C. nubigenum and L. angustifolia EOs suggest that they could also help prevent secondary infections and suggested that the neural sites are targets of the EO toxicity.

Myiasis of humans and domestic animals.

TL;DR: Analytical studies of myiasis have increased dramatically, particularly in alliance with new control and monitoring methods that demand an increased understanding of the biology, physiology, and ecology of the parasites, for example, serodiagnosis, vaccine research and trapping.

Breeding for Disease Resistance in Farm Animals

TL;DR: In pigs, diarrhoea due to bacterial infections is a problem mainly in the young growing animal, including the pig, and various strains of Escherichia coli and E. coli are responsible.

Ecological sources of zoonotic diseases

TL;DR: It is argued that in the case of zoonotic diseases emerging in livestock, change in agricultural practices has become the dominant factor determining the conditions in whichZoonotic pathogens evolve, spread, and eventually enter the human population.
