Wohlfahrtiosis

a parasitic disease of animals caused by the larvae of the larviparous Wohlfahrtia magnifica fly. Usually wohlfahrtiosis strikes sheep. It is found in countries with a warm and temperate climate (in Egypt, in the countries of Asia Minor and Middle Asia, and in the Caucasus in the USSR). Open wounds on their skin make animals vulnerable to wohlfahrtiosis, since the fly can deposit larvae in such wounds. The larvae increase the injury to the skin and destroy the underlying tissue, causing the animals great pain. The animals eat little, become emaciated, and sometimes die. Treatment and prophylaxis consist in treating the wounds with disinfectant preparations and, in cases of massive injuries, bathing the sheep in disinfectant solutions.

wohl·fahr·ti·o·sis

(vōl-far'tē-ō'sis), Infection of animals and humans with larvae of flies of the genus Wohlfahrtia. Important species include Wohlfahrtiosis magnifica, a widely distributed obligatory fleshfly the tissue-destroying maggots of which invade wounds or head cavities of domestic animals and humans; Wohlfahrtiosis nuba, a facultative fleshfly of Old World distribution, also found in head wounds or head cavities but not in dermal sores; and Wohlfahrtiosis vigil, which produces cutaneous myiasis in human infants in the northern U.S. and southern Canada by larvae that penetrate the skin and cause infected, boillike, or furuncular lesions; mink and fox pups in fur farms, and probably rabbits and rodents are attacked by this species.
See also: Wohlfahrtia.
