| Disease Description |
Maggot infestation is a condition in which the fly maggots feed off and develop in the tissues of living organisms. True myiasis results from flies deliberately laying eggs in or on the tissues. There are two forms of myiasis: obligate, in which it is nec |
| Disease Control |
Vaccination against parasite, Vectro control, insecticide application |
| Disease Prevention |
Organophosphorus or organochlorine compounds may be used, usually in a spraying formulation. One alternative prevention method is the sterile insect technique (SIT) where a significant number of artificially reared sterilized (usually through irradiation) male flies are introduced. |
| Precautions |
Maintain sanitary or hygeinic conditions in herd, isolate affected animals from healthy animals |
| Procedure of Use |
All parts of the thornapple (Datura innoxia) shrub that grows up to a height of about 1 metre in all types of wastelands are useful in fighting these maggots. Combined with tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)thornapple makes a deadly vermicide. Rabari lures the hoof maggots out to the surface with jaggery and eliminates them with this deadly combination.Pound the stramonium fruits or leaves or flowers of thornapple and grind into a fine paste. Add a couple of pinches of tobacco snuff. Mix this to a warm solution of water and jaggery to prepare an ointment. Smearing this ointment over the hooves lures the maggots out of the deep crevices. The jaggery attracts them while stramonium and nicotine in the paste destroy them instantly |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Flies lying eggs in or on the tissue |
| Global Context |
