The scientific aspect is high calibre and well documented regarding the life-cycle, biology and pathology caused by the eyeworm – Thelazia callipaeda. The studies were well planned and showed that the house fly-Musca domestica was (is) not the intermediate host. On the contrary, it was demonstrated that the first larval stage is capable of developing to the third infective larval stage in the fly genera – Amniota and Phortica. The research is excellent and the narrative on the DVD complements well the science. Commercial aspects of the parasiticides for control of the nematodes are also well presented. The DVD would be of interest to laypersons, in addition to practicing parasitologists, veterinarians and physicians.
