Queensland itch is very common in the northern parts of Australia. However, it is not confined to these areas as it occurs wherever sand flies exist. When the horse is bitten by a sand fly, small bumps
develop on the skin. Because the lumps are intensely itchy the horse rubs itself, causing loss of hair. Serum oozes from the skin and causes scabs to form. In chronic cases, the skin becomes thickened and corrugated, especially along the flank, neck, buttocks and tail.
