J Wildl Dis. 2022 Jan 1;58(1):232-234. doi: 10.7589/JWD-D-21-00038.

Abstract

A mixed nasopharyngeal infestation by larvae of Cephenemyia stimulator (Diptera: Oestridae) and Lucilia caesar (Diptera: Calliphoridae) was detected in a roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) killed in a car collision in Lugo, Spain, in July 2020. This article stresses the importance of correctly identifying larvae in myiasis cases.
