Over the past decade, definite changes have been recorded in the regional prevalence, seasonality and severity of fasciolosis in the UK, related to increased rainfall, or localised flooding, prompting debate about the deleterious effects of climate change. As a consequence, effective management of fasciolosis has become problematic in areas where fluke traditionally exists, leading to serious loss of production in sheep and cattle. Meanwhile, in eastern districts, there have been unexpected outbreaks of disease, resulting in production losses and concerns about welfare. This case report describes the economic consequences of fasciolosis in a commercial sheep flock in south-east Scotland. The diagnosis and consequences of triclabendazole resistance are discussed, in the context of developing economically sustainable control strategies.
在过去的十年中，英国的片形吸虫病的区域性流行情况、季节性和严重程度发生了明显变化，这与降雨量增加或局部洪水有关，引发了关于气候变化不利影响的争论。因此，在传统上存在片形吸虫病的地区，片形吸虫病的有效管理变得成问题，导致绵羊和牛的严重生产损失。与此同时，在东部地区，出现了意料之外的疾病爆发，导致生产损失和对福利的担忧。本病例报告描述了苏格兰东南部一个商业羊群中片形吸虫病的经济后果。讨论了三氯苯达唑耐药的诊断和后果，以期制定经济可持续的控制策略。
