Oedemagena tarandi

In Alaska, reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) infested with reindeer warble fly (Oedemagena tarandi) produced hides of little value and low quality meat. Reindeer warble flies were not controlled by pour-on applications of famphur because the product was unable to penetrate the hair coat of reindeer however, intramuscular injections were effective (Ivey et al. 1976). In Norway, Sweden, and Finland, famphur was the most promising control agent against reindeer warble fly and reindeer nostril fly (Cephenomyis trompe) — two parasites that together caused a 15 to 20% annual loss of total yield in reindeer husbandry (Nieminen et al. 1980).
