A survey of warble-infested 'fat' cattle in 57 selected livestock markets in Great Britain was carried out during June 1972 and during May each year from 1973 to 1984. The annual total number of cattle inspected varied from 41,587 to 60,481. The level of infestation increased from 22.3 per cent in 1972 to 38.0 per cent in 1976 and then declined slightly to 34.3 per cent in 1978. Following the introduction of legislation and the warble fly eradication campaign in 1978 there was a rapid decrease to 8.6 per cent infestation by 1979 and by 1984 the level was less than 0.02 per cent.
1972年6月以及1973年至1984年期间每年5月，对英国57个选定牲畜市场中感染皮蝇蛆的“肥牛”进行了调查。每年检查的牛总数从41,587头到60,481头不等。感染率从1972年的22.3%上升到1976年的38.0%，然后略有下降，到1978年降至34.3%。1978年出台立法并开展皮蝇根除运动后，感染率迅速下降，到1979年降至8.6%，到1984年该水平低于0.02%。
