The epidemiology and control of lungworm infections in cattle are reviewed. A short introduction is given on the prevalence of lungworm infections and lungworm disease. Thereafter important aspects of the life cycle, the causes of primary infections, the possible causes of outbreaks of lungworm disease and the predictability of lungworm disease are reviewed. Finally different control measures for lungworm disease, vaccination, strategic anthelmintic treatment, vigilance and anthelmintic treatment and grazing management are discussed. It is concluded that vaccination is still the best preventive method.
