PARASITES 



CEstrus gastricus vulgaris, Schwab ; CEstrus benga- 

 lensis, var. equi, Macquart ; Gastrus equi, Rondani ; 

 Common Bot-Jly of the Horse ; the Breeze or Horse-bee ; 

 Pferdemagenfliege or Bremsfliege, grosse Magenbremse. 

 This is a cosmopolitan ; from June to July the eggs 

 are laid on the hair, whence they are licked off and 

 transferred to the stomach , to the walls of which the 

 larvae or grubs adhere and are passed per anum, to 

 bury themselves in the earth until they reach the 

 imago stage. — Gastrophilus flavipes, Olivier. Syn., 

 CEstrus flavipes, Olivier ; Gastrus flaznpes, Brauer ; 

 Gastrophilus asininus, Brauer. This is found in 

 Southern Europe, North Africa and Asia Minor; 

 larvae are found in the stomach of the ass. — Gastroph- 

 ilus haemorrhoidalis (Linne), Leach, (1817). 

 Syn., CEstrus ani equorum, Linne. (1746) ; CEstrus 

 fuemorrhoidalis, Linne (1761); Z' CEstres du fonde- 

 ment des chevaux, Geoffroy (1764) ; CEstrus equi, 

 var. haemorrh., Fabr. (1794) ; Gastrus hiemorrhoidalis , 

 Meigen (1824) ; Mastdarmbremre, Ger.; Afterbremse, 

 Ger. ; Red-tailed Bot-fly, Red-tailed Horse-bot. This 

 is found in Europe and North America, the most 

 common with Gastrophilus equi. The female lays 

 the eggs on the lips of the horse. The larvae often 

 become attached to the mucous membrane of the 

 pharyngeal region, producing dyspnea and asphyxia ; 

 they may also be found both in the right and left sacs 

 of the stomach and remain for some time in the ectal 

 portions of the rectum before leaving the body, and 

 then they assume a characteristic green tint. They 

 may be seen at the time of defecation, when the rec- 

 tum is everted, and it is this which gave rise to the 

 error that the bots were developed in the region. — 

 Gastrophilus inermis, Brauer (1858). Syn., Gas- 

 trus inermis, Schiner (1861). An Austrian species 

 troublesome to horses, found near Gyois and the 

 Haklasberge ; the larva is unknown. — Gastrophilus 

 lativentris, Low. This is found in Kurland, and 

 infests domestic animals. — Gastrophilus nasalis,

 chevaux, Reaumur (1734); CEstrus nasalis, De Geer

 jumentorum, Gastrus clarkii, Meigen (1824); CEstrus 

 salutaris, Macquart (1835) ; CEstrus duodenal is, 

 Schwab ; Gastrus nigritus, Letterst ; Gastrus sub- 

 jacens, Walker; Rasenbremsfliege , Dunndarmbremse, 

 Ger. A European species, most common in Austria 

 and Prussia, the larvae being found especially in the 

 duodenum, rarely in the stomach of the horse. The 

 female deposits the eggs in the alae of the nostrils and 

 on the lips of the horse. Brauer considers the form 

 reported from Nova Scotia ( Gastrus subjacens, Walker) 

 as belonging here. — Gastrophilus pecorum, Fabri- 

 cius (1749), Schiner (1861). Syn., CEstrus bovis, 

 var. 3, Linne (1761); CEstrus pecorum, Fabricius; 

 CEstrus vituli, Fabr. (1794) ; CEstrus equi, var. /?, 

 Clark (1815); Gastrus pecorum , Meigen; Gastrus juba- 

 rum, Megerle (1824) ; CEstrus gastricus major, 

 Schwab (1840) ; Gastrus ferruginatus, Zetterst, 

 Rondani (1843-8); CEstrus veterinus, var. Joly (1846); 

 Gastrus selysii, Carlier (1842); Gastrus veterinus. 

 Green ; Viehbremse, Horse-bee. This is found through- 

 out Europe, rare in Sweden, abundant in Hungary. The 

 larvae are fixed for some time in the rectum before 

 emerging to undergo nvmphosis. — Gastrus clarkii, 

 Meigen. See Gastrophilus nasalis, Linne, Schiner. — 

 Gastrus equi, Rondani. See Gastrophilus equi, Fa- 

 bricius. — Gastrus ferruginatus, Rondani, Zetterst.
