Alongside with a high intensity of infection of horses with botfly larvae there was observed mass aberrant parasitism of horse botflies in farms of Astrakhan, Guryev and Uralsk Provinces, and in the Kalmyk ASSR in 1980-1981 and 1987. As a result of extremely high aggregation of horse botfly larvae in their usual localization places, Gasterophilus pecorum larvae remained, due to interspecific competition, in nonspecific places (oral cavity, pharynx), adapted to new habitats and normally developed. Their number varied from 260 to 750 specimens. Localization of G. pecorum larvae in the mentioned departments of the alimentary canal results in serious morbidity of horses.

In Burjatia and Mongolia the infection of horses with rhinoestrosis and gastrophilosis accounts for 97.8-99.2% and 98.9-99.5%, respectively at the infection intensity 34 to 721 and 55 to 1473 larvae. The sheep botfly is represented by one and the horse botfly by six species; they have one generation a year. The flight of the horse botfly begins from the second decade of June and ends in the second decade of September; the flight of the sheep botfly begins in the third decade of June and ends in the first decade of September. The pupil stage lasts 20 to 61 days.

10 foals were artificially infected for the first time with eggs of Gastrophilus intestinalis, G. veterinus, G. haemorrhoidalis, G. inermis, G. nigricornis. 63 to 67% of the 1st stage larvae die in the first period of life after emergence from the egg, at the moment of invasion into the skin and at the beginning of the migration. In 40 to 45 years after the infection most larvae (73 to 82%), depending on their specific belonging, were found in the stomach, duodenum and rectum.
