''T. circumcincta'' and ''O. trifurcata'' are responsible for clinical disease predominantly in lambs. The Pathophysiology of the disease is analogous to [[Ostertagiasis|ostertagiasis]] in cattle, though the type II form of disease is not seen as often in sheep and goats.

''T. circumcincta'' and ''O. trifurcata'' are responsible for clinical disease predominantly in lambs. The Pathophysiology of the disease is analogous to [[Ostertagiasis|ostertagiasis]] in cattle, though the type II form of disease is not seen as often in sheep and goats. The main feature in the epidemiology is the occurrence of a peri-parturient rise (PPR) in the number of larvae present as is seen in the disease in cattle.
