Welcome to the latest edition of the worm intensity heat map showing the parasite challenge across different regions of Australia. This edition looks at data submitted in July. Now into the depths of winter, how has the worm challenge been affected in your area? Read on to find out how your region has fared.
Remember that our map shows average worm egg counts, worm eggs have not been speciated. Where relevant, commentary on what species the worm challenge may be, can be found in the discussion per region.
For context, if you have found this website via social media, the map represents gastrointestinal nematode (otherwise known as roundworms, strongyles, or simply as ‘worms’) worm egg counts quantified from sheep faeces using the innovative FECPAK machines.
