The commercial ELISA kit developed for bovine hypodermosis can be considered as a useful tool for the serodiagnosis of goat warble fly infestation due to the confirmed cross-reactivity between the antigen of
Hypoderma lineatum and anti-P.
(2005), level as10% of antihypoderma antibody in adults of reindeer declined significantly with age, and levels were significantly lower in animals of 4 to 11 years of age than in one year old animals during the same one year period indicating reducing exposure of animals to
hypoderma infestation.
However, in cases of internal ophthalmomyiasis caused by larvae from other species such as
Hypoderma, the larvae can penetrate the sclera and burrow into subretinal space leading to iridocyclitis, endophthalmitis or loss of vision4.

Caribou maximize their nutritional intake through large-scale migratory movements to areas of higher habitat quality, changes in seasonal and annual distribution in response to changes in plant phenology and availability, and rapid movements to limit harassment by the mosquito (Culex spp.) and oestrid fly (
Hypoderma spp.
The "Gadfly" is more commonly known in the farming community as the "Warble Fly" (
Hypoderma bovis or
Hypoderma lineata.
The survey, carried out by the Veterinary Laboratories Agency between November 2002 and March 2003 and to be published in the Veterinary Record, involved taking serum samples from 200,769 animals in 5,189 herds, to see if there was any evidence of antibodies to the cattle warble flies,
Hypoderma lineatum and
Hypoderma bovis.
