Treatment and Prevention
Warble fly has been eradicated in many countries, beginning from Denmark and Western Germany, in the 1960s. They have also been eradicated from the United Kingdom, as well as from Belgium and Ireland. The method was the pour-on application of an organophosphorus compound.
From the 1980s, the preventive treatment is easier, by subcutaneous use of Ivermectin, but the warble fly remains present in North Africa.
