Abstract
- Cattle grubs (Hypoderma lineatum and H. bovis) are obligate parasites of cattle for most of their one year life cycle. Previously exposed animals become resistant to productive reinfestation, presumably as a result of immune system involvement, suggesting potential control by vaccination. Research progress towards development and utilization of a recombinant subunit vaccine for hypodermosis is described.
