Between 1977 and 1979, 1,997 gray squirrels (Scriurus carolinensis) and 290 fox squirrels (S. niger) were examined for Cuterebra emasculator myiasis. Approximately 19% of the gray and 5% of the fox squirrels were infested with 1.9 and 2.5 larvae per host, respectively. Myiasis was seen between 14 August and 29 October. Peak infestations occurred in the second week of September. Adult and subadult squirrels had higher infestations than juveniles. Multiple infestations occurred in 51% of the hosts. Larval development sites were most prevalent in the axillary and back regions. The parasite was most prevalent in bottomland or flatland topography and hardwood habitat in east-central Mississippi. Fecundity of four virgin female flies averaged 771 eggs.
1977年至1979年间，对1997只灰松鼠（Sciurus carolinensis）和290只狐松鼠（S. niger）进行了阉割兔蚤蝇蛆病检查。约19%的灰松鼠和5%的狐松鼠受到感染，每只宿主分别有1.9条和2.5条幼虫。蛆病在8月14日至10月29日期间出现。感染高峰出现在9月的第二周。成年和亚成年松鼠的感染率高于幼年松鼠。51%的宿主出现多重感染。幼虫发育部位最常见于腋窝和背部区域。这种寄生虫在密西西比州中东部的低地或平原地形以及硬木栖息地最为普遍。四只未交配雌蝇的繁殖力平均为771枚卵。
