Abstract

A case of ophthalmooestriasis externa in a young woman is presented. The natural hosts of Oestrus ovis are sheep and goat. Occasionally man serves as intermediate host but then the larvae cannot mature. These larvae can give rise to a varying degree of inflammatory reactions of the conjunctiva. As the O. ovis larvae have no burrowing habits, infestation is limited to the outer membranes of the eye.
