Stomach
Worms (Draschia megastoma & Habronema muscae)
Lifecycle:
Stomach worm larvae are ingested by fly maggots in manure. The worms
develop inside the maggots. Mature flies then deposit the larvae
on the lips, nostrils, wounds and other naturally moist areas of
the horse.
How
It Gets Into Your Horse: Stomach worm larvae are swallowed as
the horse licks the infested area, or they stay in a wound and create
oozing, expanding sores.
Dangers
If Left Untreated: Stomach worm larvae can expand a wound and
prevent healing, causing "summer sores". Larvae deposited
in the eyes can cause conjunctivitis. Larvae that are eaten can
cause gastritis and tumor-like growths which may rupture.
