We then compared the model's predictions with recorded acute fasciolosis losses in sheep from 2010 to 2019 and calculated the sensitivity and specificity of the model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The forecast risk has varied over time but has not markedly increased over the past 70 years. The model correctly forecasted the highest and lowest incidence years at both the regional and national (Great Britain) levels. However, the sensitivity of the model for predicting fasciolosis losses was poor. Modification to include the full May and October rainfall and evapotranspiration values made only a small improvement.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Limitations<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Reported acute fasciolosis losses are subject to bias and error due to unreported cases and variations in region size and livestock numbers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Ollerenshaw forecasting model, in either its original or modified forms, is insufficiently sensitive to be relied upon as a standalone early warning system for farmers.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/vetr.2781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,5]],"date-time":"2023-03-05T13:13:50Z","timestamp":1678022030000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Is the Ollerenshaw fasciolosis forecasting model fit for the 21st century?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"193","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1988-1376","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alison","family":"Howell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Biology and Microbiomes Institute of Infection Veterinary and Ecological Sciences University of Liverpool  Neston UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cyril","family":"Caminade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Biology and Microbiomes Institute of Infection Veterinary and Ecological Sciences University of Liverpool  Neston UK"},{"name":"Department of Earth System Physics International Centre for Theoretical Physics  Trieste Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franz","family":"Br\u00fclisauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SRUC Veterinary Services  Edinburgh UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sian","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Carmarthen Veterinary Investigation Centre APHA  Carmarthen UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8186-7236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diana","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Infection Biology and Microbiomes Institute of Infection Veterinary and Ecological Sciences University of Liverpool  Neston UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vetpar.2010.10.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","first-page":"957","article-title":"The ecology of the liver fluke (Fasciola hepatica)","volume":"71","author":"Ollerenshaw CB","year":"1959","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","first-page":"591","article-title":"A method of forecasting incidence of fascioliasis in Anglesey","volume":"71","author":"Ollerenshaw CB","year":"1959","journal-title":"Vet Rec"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-1571(66)90004-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0016126"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4081\/gh.2015.352"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","unstructured":"National Animal Disease Information Service (NADIS).
