摘要：
Although much general information has accumulated about ocular myiasis, there are very few reports about the same amongst the Indian population. We present a case series, comprising of 13 documented cases of external ophthalmomyiasis due to Oestrus ovis, detected at regular intervals in a small geographical area of rural central India, which strongly indicated the presence of a previously unknown endemic eye disease of this region.
