Summary
| Description |
Deutsch: Dieses Grauhörnchen ist von Fliegenlarven der Gattung Cuterebrinae, Familie Oestridae (Dasselfliegen) befallen und bildet Dasselbeulen aus. Der Befall ist örtlich und (normalerweise) nicht dauerhaft schädigend für das Hörnchen. Sobald die Larven schlüpfen heilen die Wunden gewöhnlich, obwohl sie mit Bakterien infiziert werden können oder durch Entzündung Abszesse bilden können. Dieser Zustand ist relativ häufig und kann nicht auf andere Tiere übergehen, kann jedoch andere Tiere treffen. Es ist auch bei Haus- und Nutztieren – wie Vieh – möglich, wobei dies aufgrund heutiger Parasiten-Steuerungsverfahren nicht häufig geschieht. Fotografiert in Midlothian (Virginia, USA). English: This squirrel is infested with fly larvae of the genus Cuterebrinae, family Oestridae, a condition also known as "warbles". The infection is localized, and not (usually) permanently harmful to the squirrel. Once the larvae hatch, the wounds will usually heal, although they can become infected with bacteria and form abscesses. The condition is relatively common, and cannot spread to other animals. Other animals can also become infected with warbles, and it is possible to see cases in domestic animals such as cattle, although nowadays (with more fly and parasite control methods) it doesn't happen very often. Photographed in Midlothian, VA. |
