Abstract: At the Hopland Field Station from 1964-1968, about 60% of deer and 30% of jackrabbits were infected with the eyeworm, Thelazia californiensis. Occasional infections were also detected in grey foxes, raccoons, and dogs. An undescribed species of Fannia (Diptera: Muscidae) was experimentally determined to serve as the natural vector of T. californiensis. The face fly, Musca autumnalis, did not support development of this eyeworm.
