Abstract

A group of four red kangaroos (Megaleia rufa), a Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus fruticus), and a Gunther's dik dik (Maloqua guentheri smithi) were presented over a 2-mo period with draining lesions over the thorax or on the lateral aspect of a hind leg. Only one animal exhibited more than one lesion. Physical examinations revealed infections with fly larvae. The parasites were manually removed and identified as Cuterebra spp. All of the affected animals survived, with no apparent side effects.
