The larvae causing nasal myasis in equids belong to the genus Rhinoestrus. Disease is characterized by irritation of the nasal cavities, sinuses and pharynx. In addition, injuries to the olfactory nerves with different degrees of clinical signs from asymptomatic to death of horses has been noted with reports of nervous symptoms characteristic of encephalomyelitis following penetration of the ethmoid bone and the soft cerebral membrane. Our results seem to indicate that climatic conditions enhance the active phase of the endogenous cycle throughout the year (excluding winter) so the risk for infestation is elevated in equids from a Mediterranean climate area.
