Prevalence of Bovine Hypodermosis in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) from Jhelum district, Pakistan

Hipodermozis Pakistanın dağlık ve tepelik bölgelerinde rastlanan endemik bir hastalıktır. Bu epidemiyolojik çalışma, Bufaloların önemi göz önünde bulundurularak, bu hayvanlarda hipodermozisin dağılımını ortaya koymak amacıyla 2010-2011 yıllarında Pakistan’ın Jhelum Punjab bölgesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu amaçla çalışma bölgesinde 1000’in üzerinde buffalo klinik olarak nokra sineği enfestasyonu yönünden kontrol edilmiş ve 32 (%3.2)’si pozitif bulunmuştur. Enfestasyon bulunan hayvanlardaki nodül sayısı 1-5 (2.7±1.1) arasında değişkenlik göstermiştir. Cinsiyet, yaş ve farklı coğrafik bölgeler yönünden değerlendirildiğinde Hypoderma dağılımında önemli farklılıklar belirlenmiştir. Hastalığın dağılımı erkek ve genç hayvanlarda ve aynı zamanda tepelik ve yarı-tepelik bölgelerde otlayan hayvanlarda daha yüksek bulunmuştur. İklimle ilgili faktörler (sıcaklık, nem, güneş, rüzgar hızı) nokra sineği aktivitesini artırmakta ve hastalığın başlamasında rol oynamaktadır.

Pakistan’ın Jhelum Bölgesindeki su mandalarında (Bulbous bulbous) sığır Hypodermozis’inin dağılımı

Hypodermosis is an endemic disease in semi-hilly and mountainous areas of Pakistan. Keeping in view the importance of buffaloes an epidemiological survey was conducted to determine the prevalence of hypodermosis in district Jhelum Punjab, Pakistan, during the year 2010-2011. Out of 1000 buffaloes examined clinically in the study area, 32 (3.2%) found to be positive for the warble fly infestation. The number of nodules in the infested animals ranged from 1-5 (2.7±1.1). There were significant differences (P<0.05) in the prevalence of Hypoderma spp. when the sex, age and different geographic areas were considered. The Prevalence was higher in males and young animals and also in those animals grazing in hilly and semi-hilly areas. The climatic conditions (temperature, humidity, sunshine and wind speed) favoured the warble fly activity and contributed in the onset of disease.
