he genus Philornis comprises neotropical parasitic flies that parasite bird nestlings while in their larval stage. The ecology of most species of these parasitic flies is largely unknown. This work is an analysis of real data ofnestlings of the bird community present in a 30ha area in Santa Fe, Argentina, to construct a simple host-parasite system. In this particular system it?s illustrate the modeling approach of host-parasite coevolution for an average of the larvae impact over a nestling. The the model arrives to an  epidemiological model for the nestling population based on the dinamics for the birds and death of the hosts.
