Larvae migrate up the trachea to the nasal cavity. Aberrant infection occurs in domestic ruminants; the usual hosts are wild ruminants. Gedoelstia hassleri larvae of this fly are deposited in the conjunctival sac and migrate to the nasal cavity via blood vessels, meninges and subdural space in hartebeeste and wildebeeste, but without causing clinical illness.
