Forty-four camels slaughtered at Nyala abattoir, western Sudan, were examined for infection with the larvae of Cephalopina titillator. The infection rate was found to be 100 p. 100. The parasitic burden ranged between 8-243 per animal. They were recovered throughout the year. The first stage larvae were noticed from December to May, indicating the breeding season of the fly. The larvae were found to cause visible pathological lesions on the nasopharynx. These were also demonstrated histopathologically. Bacteriological examinations revealed the presence of Pasteurella haemolytica and Klebsiella ozaenae as possible causes of pneumonia, and Corynebacterium species which could possibly cause pyogenic infections locally. Organisms from the camel environment like Bacillus and Proteus species were also isolated.
对在苏丹西部尼亚拉屠宰场宰杀的44头骆驼进行了检查，以确定是否感染了突颤头蝇幼虫。发现感染率为100%。每头动物的寄生虫负荷在8至243之间。全年都能发现这些寄生虫。在12月至5月间发现了第一期幼虫，这表明了这种苍蝇的繁殖季节。发现这些幼虫会在鼻咽部造成明显的病理损伤。组织病理学检查也证实了这一点。细菌学检查发现，溶血巴斯德氏菌和臭鼻克雷伯菌可能是肺炎的病因，棒状杆菌属可能是局部化脓性感染的病因。还分离出了骆驼生存环境中的微生物，如芽孢杆菌属和变形杆菌属。
