A contemporary map of Fasciola hepatica distribution in sheep and cattle in New South Wales. [PDF]
Aust Vet JFasciola hepatica is a global threat to livestock production, human health, and food security. Infection causes significant reductions in milk production and quality, feed conversion efficiency, wool quality, and reproductive performance. In New South Wales (NSW), Australia, data on the distribution of F. hepatica are more than 50 years out of date and

Distribution, abundance, population structures, and potential impacts of the invasive snail, Tarebia granifera in aquatic ecosystems of north-eastern South Africa. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe study investigates Tarebia granifera, a highly successful aquatic invader, in South Africa's Limpopo and Phongolo River systems. The study revealed that T. granifera dominates in habitats where it is present, negatively impacting native molluscan species. Interestingly, the study did not find significant correlations between T.
