dc.description.abstractIn the present study external Opthalmomyiasis due to Oestrus ovis in 20 workers who worked in close contact with sheep and goats was investigated in an organised sheep farm located at North Western agro climatic zone of Tamil Nadu state, India. Incidence of external Opthalmomyiasis occurred when the temperature is low and the humidity and rainfall are high. The morbidity was 85% in rainy season and 15% in winter. The 75% of affected persons reported the symptoms of eye problem and 25% reported symptoms of cough, throat pain and foreign body sensation. The present investigation creates awareness among shepherds regarding zoonotic importance of Oestrus ovis.en_US
