The oestrid fly or the camel nasal botfly Cephalopina titillator (Clark) is an insect that causes health hazards in camels. No doubt, camels are very important livestock particularly in arid and semi-arid lands. In this paper, the monthly and seasonal prevalence of C. titillator larvae in slaughtered camels were studied. The rate of camel infestation was 25%. The highest prevalence month was October and the highest prevalence season was Autumn. The three larval instars were demonstrated in the infested camels. However, the 3rd instars were the predominant stage (60.59%), followed by the 2nd instars (30.58%) and then the 1st instars (8.83%). In general, some myiasis producers are zoonotic parasites. Nevertheless, the control of the adult C. titillator and its larval instars is a must for the sake of the animal and for the human welfare.
狂蝇或骆驼鼻狂蝇Cephalopina titillator（克拉克）是一种对骆驼健康造成危害的昆虫。毫无疑问，骆驼是非常重要的家畜，尤其是在干旱和半干旱地区。本文研究了屠宰骆驼中C. titillator幼虫的月度和季节性流行情况。骆驼的感染率为25%。感染率最高的月份是10月，感染率最高的季节是秋季。在受感染的骆驼中发现了三个幼虫龄期。然而，三龄幼虫是主要阶段（60.59%），其次是二龄幼虫（30.58%），然后是一龄幼虫（8.83%）。一般来说，一些引起蝇蛆病的生物是人畜共患寄生虫。然而，为了动物和人类的福祉，必须控制成年C. titillator及其幼虫龄期。
