A survey to determine current prevalence of Gasterophilus spp. (bot flies) in equids (n=400) at necropsy in slaughtered horses was conducted at the abattoir in Rawicz. The evaluation was performed according to sex, age, larval stages, severity of infestation and localization, respectively. Only Gasterophilus intestinalis and Gasterophilus nasalis were detected. The prevalence determined in the eastern part of Poland was of 47%. The high prevalence of this parasite infection in the Polish horse population confirms that Gasterophilosis spp. has to be taken into serious consideration and prophylactic measures might be indicated.
在罗兹屠宰场对 400 匹屠宰马进行了剖检，以确定当前马属动物（胃蝇科）的流行情况。根据性别、年龄、幼虫阶段、感染严重程度和定位分别进行了评估。仅检测到胃肠道蝇和鼻胃蝇。在波兰东部确定的流行率为 47%。这种寄生虫感染在波兰马群中的高流行率证实，胃蝇病须认真考虑，并可能需要采取预防措施。
