“…It was found that the prevalence of warble fly infestation was almost 80% in Czech Republics, 49.2% in Greece, 85% in Italy, 52.3% in Spain, 40% in United Kingdom and 32-43% in Romania [5] . The prevalence of Warble Fly Infestation (WFI) was 3.2%, 18.4% in buffalo and cattle of Pakistan [6,7] . Previous studies showed that hypodermosis is one of the major parasitic infection in many countries of the northern hemisphere.…”

from Khoshab and Chakwal districts of Punjab province for the prevalence of warble. The larvae were collected from the infested goats and identified as P. silenus. The results showed that the prevalence of GWFI was 17.8% (89/500). The number of nodules in the infested animals ranged from 1-14 (6.61±2.4). The breed wise prevalence was in beetle breed (13.2%), local breed (18%) and desi breed (22.9%), respectively. The sex wise prevalence was in male (15.3%) and in female (19.4%). The prevalence based on age showed that the rate of infestation in animals having age group (1-3 year) was 20.9%, (4-6 year) was 14.6% and (>6 year) was18.1%, respectively. The present study showed that these epidemiological factors have a significant effect on the prevalence of WFI in goats of Punjab Province. The results showed the effect of different treatments given to animals on the basis of sex, age groups, infested and non-infested animals. The results of this survey showed that the fly is active from March to June. It was first study on GWFI in Punjab Province; northern part of Pakistan. It would be very helpful in devising the future strategies towards the eradication and control of warble fly in other endemic areas of Pakistan. Keywords: Goat Warble Fly Infestation, GWFI, Prevalence, Przhevalskiana silenus, Khoshab, Chakwal districts, Pakistan Pakistan Punjab Eyaletindede Keçi Nokra Enfestasyonunun Prevalansı Üzerine Epidemiyolojik Bir Çalışma ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı Pakistan'ın Punjab Eyaletinde Keçi Nokrasının prevalansını tespit etmektir. Keçi Nokrası Przhevalskiana silenus (Diptera: Oestridae) tarafından meydana getirilir. Prevalansın tespiti amacıyla Punjab'ın Khoshab ve Chakwal bölgelerinde Temmuz 2012 ile Ocak 2013 tarihleri arasında toplam 500 adet hayvan incelendi. Larvalar enfekte keçilerden toplandı ve P. silenus olarak identifiye edildi. Keçi Nokrasının prevalansı %17.8 (89/500) olarak tespit edildi. Hayvanlardaki nodüllerin sayısı 1-14 (6.61±2.4) olarak belirlendi. Türlere göre prevalans beetle ırkında %13.2, lokal ırklarda %18 ve desi ırklarda %22.9 olarak tespit edildi. Tekelerde prevalans %15.3 iken dişilerde %19.4 idi. Enfestasyon; 1-3 yaş arası keçilerde %20.9, 4-6 yaş arası olanlarda %14.6 ve 6 yaş üzerilerde %18.1 oranlarında mevcuttu. Araştırılan epidemiyolojik faktörlerin Punjab Eyaletinde Keçi Nokrasının prevalansı üzerinde önemli etkisi olduğu tespit edildi. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre nokranın Mart ayından Temmuz ayına kadar aktif olduğu belirlendi. Bu çalışma Keçi Nokrası üzerine Punjab Eyaletinde yapılan ilk çalışmadır. Çalışmanın Pakistan'ın diğer endemik bölgelerinde nokranın eradikasyonu ve kontrol edilmesine yönelik stratejileri belirlemede yararlı olacağı görüşündeyiz.

“…It results in severe decrease in meat and milk production and reducing the hide quality, causes a great deal of economic loss in developing countries [2]. The present report shows the systemic pattern of hypodermosis in Pakistan [2][3][4][5][6][7][8], Iran [9][10][11][12][13][14] and Turkey [15][16][17][18][19] from [2000][2001][2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012][2013][2014][2015]. The data analysis showed that hypodermosis is highly prevalent in Pakistan followed by Iran and Turkey (Table 1).…”

“…are common parasites of cattle in the northern hemisphere. In Pakistan, warble fly infestation (WFI; hypodermosis) is a notorious and common disease of cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats, and is considered an especially important menace in cattle and buffalo of different areas of northern Punjab [1][2][3]. Infestations of cattle with the larvae of this fly cause serious damage to hides and cause occasional deaths due to anaphylactic shock, toxemia, or damage to the central nervous system or esophagus.…”

Introduction: Hypodermosis is an ectoparasitic disease of cattle caused by Hypoderma lineatum and Hypoderma bovis. It is an important health problem of cattle, leading to considerable economic losses. There are various factors that are involved in the spread of this disease such as herd size, location, temperature, humidity, and precipitation. Methodology: Blood samples from 112 herds were collected to determine the presence of Hypoderma spp. infestation. For these herds, size and location were determined; temperature, humidity, and precipitation data were obtained from meteorological stations; and topographic features were obtained from existing maps and through field work. A regression analysis was then used to generate a risk factor analysis profile for hypodermosis and geographic information system (GIS) was used to map the risks. Results: The GIS map developed showed the degree of infestation in different geographical locations at district and village levels. Cluster analysis demonstrated that hypodermosis prevalence varied within zones and across zones. The regression analysis showed that the temperature in the months of January, February, March, August, and November, and the precipitation in September and October had significant results (p < 0.05) when all the risks factors were analyzed. Conclusions: It is concluded that different ecological factors have an important impact on the intensity and infestation rate of hypodermosis across the globe. The present study might be used to control and eradicate the hypodermosis across the globe.
