Abstract

A study on incidence, clinical observation and management of different types of Myiasis and their management in animals particularly goats and cattles under Lohagara upazilla in Chittagong district was carried out in Lohagara upazilla veterinary hospital during 60 days internship program from 09.02.14 to 08.04.14. This clinical study was conducted with 434 animals where 25 (both cattle and goat) were affected with different types of myiasis. It was found that the overall observation of different types of myiasis was 7.01% in goat and 4.54% in cattle at Lohagara upazilla in Chittagong district. The data about the age, breed, sex etc. were recorded for each of the examined animals. The general clinical examination, inspection and palpation method were used to examine the animals. Diagnosis of the disease was based on the clinical history collected from the owner and clinical findings and not confirmed by any diagnostic laboratory. Some commercial irritating, antibacterial and antiseptic solution were evaluated for the management of clinical cases of different types of myiasis. The therapeutic evaluation was assessed on the basis of days required for complete healing of myiasis affected skin or areas or other parts of the body. It may concluded from the result that concerned authority should give special attention on controlling myiasis and should also provide extension service to the farmers for increasing awareness about the epidemiology, control and prevention of different types of myiasis.
