“…The impact of fasciolosis on ruminant production appears to be increasing (Fairweather, 2011), and ongoing climate change is predicted to further favour transmission in endemic areas such as the United Kingdom (UK) (van Dijk et al, 2010;Fox et al, 2011) and other parts of Europe (Caminade et al, 2015). Changes in land use (Pritchard et al, 2005) and policies to increase water storage on farmland in order to reduce flooding (Skuce et al, 2014), also tend to favour conditions for intermediate hosts on pasture (Charlier et al, 2014b), and hence potential transmission of F. hepatica. Control of fluke infection relies heavily on anthelmintic drugs.…”
