Hypodermosis is a common parasitic disease of great importance on cattle production and breeding worldwide. In Greece, no reliable data are available regarding the extent of this infection and therefore, as expected, no national or regional control programme is being applied. In order to cover this lack of information, a total of 4200 cattle blood sera were collected from different parts of the country and tested for hypodermosis using the ELISA method. The prevalence of the infection was found to be 37.4%, varying from place to place between 0.7 and 78.8%. The range of the infection per flock was from 0 up to 100%.
