TL;DR: The developed PCR assays could provide useful tools for the detection, identification and epidemiological investigation of Fasciola infection in humans, other mammals and snails.

TL;DR: It is indicated that PCR Ct-value cut-offs should be chosen according to the underlying latent infection definition of interest, as the lower cut-off, the more comparable becomes Se of PCR and Se of BC.

TL;DR: PCR has a higher performance than the conventional diagnostic tests (BC and CMT) suggesting its usefulness as a routine test for accurate diagnosis of S. aureus IMI under field conditions at routine milk recordings in Denmark.

TL;DR: Investigation of the distribution patterns of NAS species from milk and teat skin in dairy herds with automatic milking systems and if the isolated NAS influences the expression of S. aureus virulence factors controlled by the accessory gene regulator (agr) quorum sensing system found patterns varied according to the involved NAS species, habitat type, and herd factors.

TL;DR: It was concluded from this study that T. annulata infection is associated with impairment and alteration of blood parameters in both cattle and water buffaloes and might cause irreversible ocular changes that could lead to complete blindness.
