Development of the eyeworm Thelazia gulosa was observed in experimentally infected, female face flies (Musca autumnalis). Following removal from bovine eyes obtained from local abatoirs, adult nematodes were dissected and larval parasites were fed to restrained, 5- to 7-day-old flies which had been starved for 12 hr. Larvae penetrated the midgut of the flies 1 to 4 hr postinoculation (= PI). On day 3 PI, all live larvae were found in capsules attached to the abdominal body wall. No development was observed in unencapsulated larvae. Measurements of parasites on each of days 3,6 and 9 PI are presented. Development to the third-stage larva was completed by day 9.
在实验感染的雌性秋家蝇（Musca autumnalis）中观察到了眼球虫（Thelazia gulosa）的发育情况。从当地屠宰场获取的牛眼中取出成虫线虫后进行解剖，将幼虫寄生虫投喂给经过12小时饥饿处理、5至7日龄且被限制活动的苍蝇。接种后1至4小时，幼虫穿透苍蝇的中肠。接种后第3天，所有存活的幼虫都在附着于腹部体壁的包囊中被发现。未被包囊包裹的幼虫未观察到发育情况。呈现了接种后第3天、第6天和第9天各阶段寄生虫的测量数据。到接种后第9天，发育至第三期幼虫完成。
