Editing Myiasis (section)

===Life cycle===
The life cycle in sheep is typical of the disease. The female [[Fly|flies]] lay their eggs on the sheep in damp, protected areas of the body that are soaked with urine and feces, mainly the sheep's breech ([[buttocks]]). It takes approximately eight hours to a day for the eggs to hatch, depending on the conditions. Once hatched, the larvae then lacerate the skin with their mouthparts, causing open sores. Once the skin has been breached, the larvae then tunnel through the sores into the host's [[subcutaneous tissue]], causing deep and irritating [[lesion]]s highly subject to infection. After about the second day, [[bacteria]]l [[infection]] is likely and, if left untreated, causes [[bacteremia|bacterial bloodstream infections]] or [[sepsis]]. This leads to [[Anorexia (symptom)|anorexia]] and weakness and is generally fatal if untreated.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/13484621|journal=Parassitologia|first=M.J.R.|last=Hall|title=Traumatic myiasis of sheep in Europe: a review|date=1997|volume=39|pages=409–413}}</ref>
