Abstract

Clinicoparasitological examination of 750 cattle from Jammu region revealed prevalence of Hypoderma lineatum infestation in 9.73 %. Cattle from Jammu (plain irrigated area) district (397) did not reveal any infestation of hypodermosis, but in Samba district (semi hilly arid area) 20.63 % (73/353) animals harbored H. lineatum larvae. The warbles were recorded from October to March and the mean number of warbles per animal was 7.07 ± 0.45. Infestation significantly varied in different age groups and free grazing practice of animals was one of the risk factor for hypodermosis in cattle of Jammu region.
