Extract

Wehr (1933a, b), Knipling (1934), Wells and Knipling (1938), and James (1947, pp. 92-98) stated that first-stage larvae of Gasterophilus intestinalis (Deg.) developed in the mucosa of the tongue, cheeks, and lips of the horse. Schroeder (1940) stated that first-stage larvae of G. nasalis (L.) established themselves in the spaces between the molar teeth below the gum line, where their accumulation caused considerable necrosis and resulted in the formation of pus pockets.
