Lucilia sericata

Blowfly maggots that infest or blow the wool of sheep are especially common in warm humid areas, but occur wherever sheep are raised. Several species are involved, but the most troublesome species in Africa is Lucilia cuprina. The flies are attracted either to open wounds or to fermenting wool, the latter a condition that arises when sheep in full fleece are subjected to frequent rains during warm weather. While Lucilia cuprina apparently confines its attack mostly to the wool and the serous fluid that exudes from the skin of infested sheep, some of the associated species may attack the skin and flesh with serious or fatal result. Lucilia sericata has been observed to penetrate the abdominal wall and enter the peritoneal cavity.
