Correlation between number of human cases of myiasis caused by the reindeer warble fly (Hypoderma tarandi) and weather conditions during summer in northern Scandinavia
Åsbakk, Kjetil; Landehag, Jörgen; Skogen, Andreas; Nilssen, Arne C. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-19)The reindeer warble fly (<i>Hypoderma tarandi</i>) causes myiasis in reindeer and caribou (<i>Rangifer tarandus and subspecies</i>) and aberrant hosts such as humans.

Failure of two consecutive annual treatments with ivermectin to eradicate the reindeer parasites (Hypoderma tarandi, Cephenemyia trompe and Linguatula arctica) from an island in northern Norway.
Nilssen, Arne C.; Hemmingsen, Willy; Haugerud, Rolf E. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2002)The highly efficient endectocide ivermectin is used to reduce the burden of parasites in many semidomestic reindeer herds in northern Fennoscandia. In the autumn of 1995 and 1996 all reindeer on the island of Silda (42 km2) were treated with ivermectin in an attempt to eradicate the warble fly (Hypoderma (=Oedemagena) tarandi (L.)), the nose bot fly (Cephenemyia trompe (Modeer)) (Diptera: Oestridae) ... -
The moose throat bot fly Cephenemyia ulrichii larvae (Diptera: Oestridae) found developing in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) for the first time
Nilssen, Arne C.; Isomursu, Marja; Oksanen, Antti (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2008-06-02)About fifty larvae of Cephenemyia ulrichii Brauer (Diptera: Oestridae), some of them nearly fullgrown third instars, were found in the throat of a roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in June 2007 near Helsinki in Finland. The parasite is considered to be host specific, occurring only in the moose (Alces alces), and this paper is apparently the first report of a successful infestation in an aberrant host. -
