The Donkey Sanctuary has had two successful experiences using sterile maggots to treat deep infected necrotic wounds in donkeys. Sterile larvae of the common greenbottle, Lucilia sericata, supplied by the Surgical Materials Testing Laboratory (SMTL) were used to debride wounds where conventional therapy had failed (Bell and Thomas 2001; Thiemann, 2003).
