Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L’adulte pond ses œufs en été sur les poils du bovin, ils sont entraînés par le léchage dans le tube digestif. Les larvules migrent à l’intérieur du corps pour se trouver en mars sous la peau du dos de leur hôte où elles terminent leur évolution larvaire. Ensuite, elles percent l’épiderme, tombent à terre, s’y enfoncent et se transforment en adulte. Les dommages causés par la larve (ou varron) sont considérables; amaigrissement des sujets atteints, dépréciation des cuirs. 3, record 1, French, - hypodermose%20bovine

The larvae may hatch out after the eggs have been swallowed or they may bore into the skin. They develop inside the body of the victim, penetrate the tissues and eventually emerge leaving tiny holes in the skin. Hypoderma bovis, the Cattle Warble Fly is a well known enemy to the farmer and to the leather industry. 2, record 4, English, - warble%20fly
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The bot fly of horses has a similar life-history but the mature larvae pass out with the faeces instead of through the skin. For this and other reasons warble flies and bot flies are sometimes classed in two different families. In some related species such as the sheep nostril fly, Oestrus ovis, the female insect deposits live larvae instead of eggs. 2, record 4, English, - warble%20fly

Nom de genre de Diptères Brachycères de la famille des Œstridés. Les larves(varrons) d’Hypoderma bovis, l'œstre du bœuf, sont les principaux parasites des Bovidés; provenant soit de l'œsophage de l'animal, qui avait avalé les œufs, soit de l'extérieur, elles vont se loger sous la peau où elles forment des tumeurs qu'elles crèvent pour sortir quand elles sont arrivées à maturité; le cuir des Bovidés est de ce fait considérablement détérioré. 2, record 4, French, - hypoderme
