“…Before this, very difficult procedures were being adopted and these included the manual removal of second and third instar larvae of hypoderma. The first eradication program was launched with an associated scheme with organophosphate in Northern Ireland (Ogg 1977). Later on, the control scheme in Ireland began in 1964, and this involved the treatment of all affected cattle over a 2-3-year period.…”

Cattle hypodermosis (warble fly infestation) is a notorious veterinary problem throughout the world. Larvae of Hypoderma species cause a subcutaneous myiasis of domesticated and wild ruminants. This disease is caused by, Hypoderma bovis, Hypoderma lineatum in cattle whereas, Hypoderma diana, Hypoderma actaeon, and Hypoderma tarandi, affect roe deer, red deer, and reindeer, respectively. Adults of the cattle grub are commonly known as heel flies, warble flies, bomb flies or gad flies. The biology of hypodermosis is complex because it passes through ecto- as well as endoparasitic stages in the life cycle. The parasitic stage of hypodermosis lasts about 1 year in domesticated as well as in the wild animals, while in the adult stage, a free-living fly lasts only for few days. The diagnosis of hypodermosis is of prime importance for planning treatment and the eradication program. Generally, there are two methods that are routinely used for diagnosis of hypodermosis, i.e., the direct clinical examination and immuno diagnosis by the use of pooled serum and/or milk sample. For the control of hypodermosis, different preparations are available and their use in most of the countries is limited to an individual level but never cover the whole cattle population of a country. Re-infestation in the herd occurs due to the untreated animals that remain the reservoir of the disease. The disease causes huge economic losses in animal production due to the effect of this disease on meat, milk, and the leather industry. It can also affect the general health status as well as the immune system of the body of the diseased animals. As regards the control measures of the disease, different methods have been efficiently practiced and consequently this disease is controlled at national level in many European countries.

“…Controlling programs could be a little different depending on environmental conditions. By now, chemicals agents such as derris (rotenone), organophostphates and avermectins are employed against the parasite and the best results are obtained by avermectins (Beesley 1974;Ogg 1977;Preston 1984).…”

Prevalence of hypodermosis in cattle slaughtered in industrial slaughtered-house of Ardebil, Iran

Hypodermosis is one of the important veterinary problems because of its worldwide prevalence and significant economic losses. Economic losses is due to decreasing of productivity potential and leather quality. The disease is caused by two parasitic fly species in cattle, Hypoderma bovis and lineatus. Diagnosis of the parasites has crucial importance because of treatment and eradication plannings. Basically diagnosis is based on parasitological methods but recently serological methods were used in some countries. In the present study, a total of 3716 cattle were investigated in Industrial Slaughter house of Ardebil, Northwest of Iran. In this study, the prevalence of H. lineatus and H. bovis was 0.32 % (12 larva) and 1.07 % (40 larva), respectively. Low prevalence of hypodermosis could be caused by cold climate of studied region also shows efficacy of controlling programs. Unlike low prevalence of Hypoderma spp. in the studied regions, antiparasitic agents such as organophosphates and avermectins should be used to reduce the prevalence.
