Abstract
In 1979, liver fluke, Fasciola hepatica was reported in home-bred cattle, grazing
coastal country at Mt Cameron West. Subsequent investigations confirmed the presence of
the obligate intermediate host snail, Austropeplea tomentosa, in the draining water system
and the presence of liver fluke in the herbivorous macropod, Thylogale billardierii. The
infection, the first recorded in northwestern Tasmania, further supports observations that
marsupials may act as reservoirs of liver fluke.
