Plain-English summary
There are now advanced tests that can help find parasites in animals, which is great news for pet owners. However, creating tests that veterinarians and farmers can easily use is still a slow and difficult process. This means that while we have better tools for detecting parasites, getting them into everyday use takes time.
Abstract
Sophisticated tests for detecting the presence of parasites are now available. But developing tests that can be used directly by vets and farmers remains time consuming and challenging.
