  • Title: The prevalence of bovine hypodermosis in Kars province, Turkey.
    Author: Kara M, Arslan MO, Gicik Y.
    Journal: Trop Anim Health Prod; 2005 Nov; 37(8):617-22. PubMed ID: 16619878.
    Abstract:
    A total of 1276 cattle from 76 farms in 8 villages were examined by palpation of the skin for evidence of hypodermosis. The effects of age, sex, breed, and colour of cattle on hypodermosis were investigated. The overall prevalence was 31.9%. The mean number of warble fly larvae on infested animals was 8.46. Hypodermosis infestations were encountered in all the villages visited. Within a herd, the intensity of infestion decreased with the age of cattle. Infestation rates of warble fly larvae were lower in native cattle, in females, and in piebald animals.
