In September 2008, two ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta), comprising a mother-daughter pair, at the Greenville Zoo, Greenville, South Carolina, USA, were diagnosed with cuterebrid myiasis (Diptera: Oestridae) subsequent to sudden death of the adult lemur. On necropsy, a single bot warble was discovered in the subcutis of the axillary region. Histopathology revealed a severe eosinophilic bronchopneumonia. The juvenile lemur was inspected and found to have warbles on three separate dates in late September. One representative bot fly larva was identified as a Cuterebra sp. that normally infests lagomorphs in the southeastern United States. Cuterebrid myiasis is rarely reported in lemurs and has not been previously associated with pneumonia or death in these animals.
2008年9月，美国南卡罗来纳州格林维尔市格林维尔动物园的两只环尾狐猴（狐猴属），一只成年母狐猴及其女儿，在成年狐猴突然死亡后被诊断患有皮肤蝇蛆病（双翅目：狂蝇科）。尸检时，在腋窝区域的皮下发现了一个单一的蝇蛆肿块。组织病理学显示严重的嗜酸性支气管肺炎。对幼年狐猴进行检查后发现，在9月下旬的三个不同日期都有蝇蛆肿块。一只具有代表性的皮蝇幼虫被鉴定为美国东南部通常寄生于兔形目的一种狂蝇属物种。皮肤蝇蛆病在狐猴中很少有报道，此前也未与这些动物的肺炎或死亡相关联。
