The management of parasitic nematodes calls for a shift from conventional, indiscriminate, anthelmintic use to a more precise approach, directed by diagnostics. We should accept those parasite infection intensities that have minimal impact on production and welfare rather than attempt to eliminate them. The diagnostic toolbox for gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) faces challenges due to anthelmintic resistance (AR), which is species-specific, drug-class-specific, and varies by region. We discuss which traditional tools may become obsolete and which tools need development to gain widespread use. Social science research highlights the need for dialogue between farmers and veterinarians that emphasises effective parasite management and upskilling the veterinary workforce for more sustainable practices centred on diagnostics to be adopted in practice by 2030.
寄生虫线虫的管理需要从传统的、无差别的驱虫药物使用转向更精确的方法，以诊断为指导。我们应该接受那些对生产和福利影响最小的寄生虫感染强度，而不是试图消除它们。由于驱虫药物耐药性（AR）的存在，胃肠道线虫（GIN）的诊断工具面临挑战，AR 具有物种特异性、药物类别特异性，并且因地区而异。我们讨论了哪些传统工具可能会过时，以及哪些工具需要开发才能得到广泛应用。社会科学研究强调了农民和兽医之间需要进行对话，重点是有效的寄生虫管理，并提高兽医人员的技能，以便在 2030 年前更广泛地采用以诊断为中心的更可持续的实践。
