The exotic ox-warble fly, Hypoderma bovis has been established its life cycle at the high mountain region on the middle part of Korea. Milk cattle and Korean cattle of S pasture, H pasture and farms were infested with the third stage larva of the flies. Infection rates were 54.5% in S pasture and 30.4% in H pasture or farms. The second or third stage larve were detected from the back side of cattle and the muscle around epidual fat at autopsy. The grubs of ox-warble fly were throughly identified as Hypoderma bovis by the characteristics of spines or tubercles on the segments and stiginal plates.

The prevalence of warbles (Przhevalskiana silenus Brauer) and efficacy of ivomec against naturally occurring warble infestation in goats in Pothowar area of Pakistan was investigated. About 58.4% of the examined goats (total 301), were infedted by the warbles. The number of warbles per animal ranged from 1 to 23 (mean 5.1). Ivomec (ivermectin 1% w/v, Merck Sharp and Dhome, Netherlands) at the dose of 1 ml/50 kg of body weight proved excellent against this pest. The larvae of all the stages died inside the warbles after treatment and no skin perforations were observed in the treated animals. No side-effects of the drug were observed in the treated animals, except 2-3 minutes of bleating in a few animals at the time of injection.
