The benefits from this research include: (i) development of knowledge that will allow a better use of existing drug formulations to protect livestock from fasciolosis, potentially generating economic benefits to Australian producers of up to $50-80m/year; (ii) improved application of new commercial therapies for fasciolosis in ruminants, improving producer prosperity; (iii) enhanced training opportunities for graduate students that will build human capacity in technologies such as molecular diagnostics which have a wide application across the animal sectors; (iv) enhancement of our capacity to respond to unexpected future threats in production animals.

这项研究的好处包括：(i) 知识的发展将允许更好地利用现有药物配方来保护牲畜免受片形吸虫病的侵害，可能为澳大利亚生产者每年带来高达 50-8000 万美元的经济效益； (ii) 改进反刍动物片形吸虫病新商业疗法的应用，改善生产者的繁荣； (iii) 增加研究生的培训机会，以培养人类在分子诊断等技术方面的能力，这些技术在动物部门得到广泛应用； (iv) 增强我们应对生产动物未来意外威胁的能力。
