The diagnostics of ruminant parasites remains one of the cornerstones for parasite control best practices. Field veterinarians have several techniques at their disposal (fecal egg count, coproculture, FAMACHA®, plasma pepsinogen, ELISA-Ostertagia, ELISA-Fasciola, Baermann and ELISA-Lungworm) for the identification and/or quantification of gastrointestinal nematodes, lungworms and liver fluke infecting small ruminants and cattle. Each of these diagnostic tools has its own strengths and weaknesses and is more appropriate for a specific production operation and/or age of the animal (young and adults). This review focuses on the usability and interpretation of the results of these diagnostic tools. The most advanced technical information on sampling, storage, advantages and limitations of each tool for different types of production operations and animal categories is provided.
反刍动物寄生虫的诊断仍然是寄生虫控制最佳实践的基石之一。现场兽医有几种技术可供使用（粪便虫卵计数、粪便培养、FAMACHA®、血浆胃蛋白酶原、ELISA-Ostertagia、ELISA-Fasciola、巴氏和 ELISA-Lungworm），用于识别和/或定量感染小反刍动物和牛的胃肠道线虫、肺线虫和肝吸虫。这些诊断工具中的每一种都有其自身的优势和劣势，并且更适合特定的生产操作和/或动物年龄（幼龄和成年）。本综述重点介绍了这些诊断工具的可用性和结果解释。提供了有关每种工具在不同类型的生产操作和动物类别中的采样、存储、优点和局限性的最先进技术信息。
