Abstract

There are three families of Dipterans, namely Calliphoridae, Oestridae, and Sarcophagidae, that have been found to cause, a condition called myiasis in cattle, this condition may result in a decrease in milk, meat, and wool production. The current study envisages to use of taxonomy and bionomics to understand and identify, one of the most ubiquitous myiasis-causing flies fly, viz., Sarcophaga (Parasarcophaga) albiceps, a fly with high economic and veterinary importance, by field workers.
