Funded Activity Summary

Liver fluke: improving disease control through understanding of parasite diversity, drug resistance and better diagnosis. The benefits from this research include: (i) development of knowledge that will allow a better use of existing drug formulations to protect livestock from fasciolosis, potentially generating economic benefits to Australian producers of up to $50-80m/year; (ii) improved application of new commercial therapies for fasciolosis in ruminants, improving producer prosperity; (iii) enhanced training opportunities for graduate students that will build human capacity in technologies such as molecular diagnostics which have a wide application across the animal sectors; (iv) enhancement of our capacity to respond to unexpected future threats in production animals.
