چکیده
In 2006, 725 horses aged 8 months to 16 years from different farms from the southern-eastern part of Poland were examined post-mortem for the presence of botfly larvae. One hundred and four horses (14.75%) demonstrated the presence of botfly larvae. An average infection rate was 52 larvae but low rate dominated. The larvae found belonged to Gasterophilus intestinalis and Gasterophilus nasalis. The 3 instars dominated in the infected horses; however, more than 25% of the horses harboured both 2 and 3 instars.
