In this study, we retrieved 42 live third-stage larvae from the crop of an infected squab. This condition is known as myiasis, which occurs due to the infestation of fly larvae belonging to the order Diptera in the tissues. The larvae may affect the storage and digestive functions of the crop in squabs. Here, we report the first case of crop myiasis in a pigeon squab, caused by Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae), identified using morphological keys.
