Abstract
This study reports the first case of bronchial myiasis in a dog caused by Oestrus ovis, a parasite known to infest sheep, and occasionally other mammals. A 9-year-old dog, from a rural area near Ancona (Italy), exhibited persistent coughing despite antibiotic and anti-inflammatory treatments. Bronchoscopy revealed a live first-instar larva of O. ovis, confirmed through morphological and molecular analyses. Larval removal and treatment with isoxazolines resulted in a rapid resolution of symptoms. This case highlights the critical importance of including atypical parasitic infestations in the differential diagnosis of respiratory symptoms in dogs. It underscores the importance of heightened vigilance, particularly in areas with sheep flocks, to prevent and manage such infestation effectively.
期刊介绍：
Veterinary Medicine and Science is the peer-reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of veterinary medicine and science. The journal aims to serve the research community by providing a vehicle for authors wishing to publish interesting and high quality work in both fundamental and clinical veterinary medicine and science.
Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and research methods papers, along with invited editorials and commentaries. Original research papers must report well-conducted research with conclusions supported by the data presented in the paper.
We aim to be a truly global forum for high-quality research in veterinary medicine and science, and believe that the best research should be published and made widely accessible as quickly as possible. Veterinary Medicine and Science publishes papers submitted directly to the journal and those referred from a select group of prestigious journals published by Wiley-Blackwell.
Veterinary Medicine and Science is a Wiley Open Access journal, one of a new series of peer-reviewed titles publishing quality research with speed and efficiency. For further information visit the Wiley Open Access website.
