Abstract
Rapid progress has now been made in the control of lungworm disease. An anthelmintic has been found that is effective against adult worms, and a devitalized larval vaccine at present on field trial is showing promise of safely conferring immunity to the disease. How animals acquire resistance is well understood, but husbandry measures have not been devised that would enable grazing stock to be raised in relative immunity to infection.
