An 8 year cohort study investigated climate-driven trends of helminth infections in cattle. Levels of exposure to Fasciola hepatica decreased over time. Levels of exposure to Ostertagia ostertagi increased over time. Observed patterns can be explained by weather factors. Empirical research complements long-term predictions from normative models.
