''Haemonchus contortus'' is a nematode parasite from the family [[:Category:Trichostrongyloidea|'''Trichostrongyloidea.''']] It is found worldwide, and is an extremely important parasite of sheep and goats, particularly in tropical/ subtropical regions.   
    
Within the UK, it is found most commonly in the South, where the climate tends to be a little warmer and drier.  Some have shown complete resistance to current anthelmintics which is posing a real problem, making sheep and goat farming extremely difficult in some areas of the country.
