The incidence of the first stage larvae within various tissues is recorded and further evidence submitted to elucidate their migratory pattern. The most important histological lesions including pachymeningitis and periophthalmitis are recorded. In spite of the constant dural myiasis and frequent pachymeningitis the affected antelopes show no apparent serious clinical manifestations.en© 1966 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © 2016 University of Pretoria.
