W. magnifica larvae cause myiasis in mammals, mainly in sheep, but also in cattle, goats, horses, and rarely in humans.
In sheep, larvae chiefly infest genitalia or open wounds.
In humans, W. magnifica larvae may infest the ear, eye, mouth, or nose, damaging living tissues; they may also infest open wounds, including after surgery.
