This study was conducted to assess the reliability of computed tomography (CT) for diagnosing bot fly infestations by Cephenemyia stimulator (Clark) (Diptera: Oestridae) in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae). For this purpose, the heads of 30 animals were analysed, firstly by CT and then by necropsy, which was used as the reference standard method. The prevalence values obtained by both methods were identical; the prevalence of infestation was 40.0% overall, and was higher in males (45.5%) than in females (25.0%). These results highlight the usefulness of CT as an alternative or non-invasive method for diagnosing cephenemyiosis in live-captured roe deer and in hunting trophies or museum collections that cannot be destroyed or damaged.
本研究旨在评估计算机断层扫描(CT)诊断狍(Capreolus capreolus L.,偶蹄目:鹿科)体内由斯氏鼻疽蝇(Cephenemyia stimulator (Clark),双翅目:狂蝇科)引起的皮蝇蛆病的可靠性。为此,对30只动物的头部进行了分析,首先进行CT检查,然后进行尸检,尸检用作参考标准方法。两种方法获得的患病率值相同;总体感染率为40.0%,雄性(45.5%)高于雌性(25.0%)。这些结果突出了CT作为一种替代方法或非侵入性方法在诊断活体捕获的狍以及无法破坏或损坏的狩猎奖杯或博物馆标本中的皮蝇蛆病方面的有用性。
