Abstract: This book provides a comprehensive discussion on current knowledge on the biology of oestrid flies. It includes 14 chapters, each dedicated to the discussion of the oestrid flies' systematics, morphology, host-parasite relationships, and life history. A detailed survey of each genus is described. Specific differences between the flies' adult and larval stages are emphasized. Such discussions will be of great significance to researchers in entomology, parasitology, biology and veterinary science.
