Liver fluke: improving disease control through understanding of parasite diversity, drug resistance and better diagnosis.

这项研究的好处包括：(I)开发能够更好地利用现有药物配方来保护牲畜免受肝片吸虫病影响的知识，潜在地为澳大利亚生产者带来每年高达5,000万-8,000万美元的经济效益；(Ii)改进反胃动物肝片吸虫病的新商业疗法的应用，改善生产者的繁荣；(Iii)为研究生提供更多的培训机会，使他们能够培养人类在分子诊断等技术方面的能力，这些技术在动物行业得到广泛应用；(Iv)增强我们应对未来生产动物中意外威胁的能力。

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.
