Eggs: H. bovis-laid singly, H. lineatum-laid in rows of 6 or more

44
Q

Hypoderma bovis/lineatum-Life Cycle

A 
ELPA
Egg(s) laid on hairs of legs of cattle→ hatch→ burrow into skin and migrate through tissues→ larvae of H. bovis accumulate in epidural fat of spinal cord, H. lineatum accumulate in submucosa of esophagus→ migrate to subcutaneous tissues of the back→ fall to ground and pupate→ adult
