This case describes the appearance of the horse bot fly, Gasterophilus spp. Gasterophilus is frequently asymptomatic but treatment is recommended because bots can cause gastritis and frequently are a source of annoyance and stress to horses. In addition, the larval instars can cause stomatitis, and colic.The key to answering this question regarding optimal treatment and management is an understanding of the Gasterophilus life cycle. Gasterophilus undergoes complete metamorphosis, including three larval instars and only one generation is produced per year. The general cycle typically begins with the female ovipositing 150-1,000 eggs on a horse during the early summer months directly on single hairs of the horse's front legs (especially around the cannon bone area) as well as the abdomen, flanks, and shoulders. The eggs are approximately 1-2mm long and are pale to grayish yellow attached near the tip of the hair.The eggs develop into first instar larvae within five days and they are stimulated to emerge by the horse licking or biting at the fully developed eggs. The larvae then crawl to the mouth or are ingested and subsequently bury themselves in the tongue or gingiva
and remain for approximately 28 days. The larvae molt to the second stage and move into the stomach. The second and later third stage larvae typically attach to the lining of the stomach in the non-glandular portion near the junction of the esophageal and cardiac regions where they remain immobile for the following 9 to 12 months.The third instar larvae are relatively large, between 1-2cm long with a rounded body, narrow, hooked mouthparts, and spines. The hooked mouthparts enable the larvae to securely attach to the lining of the stomach and intestinal tract. After t
