Key Points

  • To investigate the occurrence of triclabendazole-resistant Fasciola hepatica in a sheep farm in Taranaki, New Zealand.
  • Field study conducted on a commercial sheep farm in Taranaki.
  • Assessment of liver fluke resistance to triclabendazole treatment.
  • Evaluation of treatment regimens and management practices.
  • Collection of data on livestock sales from the farm.
  • Triclabendazole-resistant liver fluke was identified on the farm.
  • Resistance may lead to treatment failures in managing liver fluke infections.
  • Indications that resistant fluke could spread across New Zealand due to livestock movement.

Abstract

The finding of triclabendazole-resistant liver fluke in New Zealand should alert farmers and veterinarians to consider triclabendazole resistance as a potential cause of treatment failure, and adapt the farm liver fluke management and treatment regimens. In addition, resistant fluke could be widespread around New Zealand due to livestock being sold from this farm.
