* This is the most important condition causing cattarhal enteritis worldwide.
* Seen mainly in grazing animals.
** Especially in sheep - causes large production losses.
* Particularly problematic since some parasites are resistant to anthelmintics.
** Especially in Australia.
** e.g. [[Nematodirus|''Nematodirus'']] and [[Trichuris|''Trichuris'']].
* A pre-patent period of 7-10 days is followed by the development of greenish [[Intestine Diarrhoea - Pathology|diarrhoea]].
** The gut becomes filled with greenish soupy material.
** Oedema and hyperaemia of mucosa occurs.
* In young animals, parasites can cause serious disease and even death.[[Category:Enteritis, Catarrhal]]
