Discovery and successful development of Cuterebra americana (Diptera: Oestridae) from an atypical host, Rattus rattus (Rodentia: Muridae), in Florida, U.S.A.

We provide the first documented occurrence of the woodrat bot fly, Cuterebra americana successfully completing larval development from the roof rat, Rattus rattus. We also document the pupal development time and atypical host damage from this infestation. SumarioSe documenta la primera aparición doc...
