| description | Farm animals are constantly exposed to different parasite infections. An increased resistance against drugs used against parasites along with a bigger demand for or-ganic food (with restricted use of drugs) and, a need for increased food security and safety makes it necessary to develop alternative methods to combat parasitic diseases. Using knowledge about how to take advantage of the animals own immune system has proved to be beneficial. To apply this to the breeding goals a wider comprehen-sion is needed. Defining resistance (an animal’s response to decrease the parasite burden), tolerance (an animal’s performance level at an increasing parasite burden) and resilience (an animal’s adaptability to different environments) is a crucial step to improve the animal’s fitness according to our breeding goals. Considering that in-creased tolerance may prevent more parasites to harm the host, further studies of how to improve the animal’s tolerance level should be encouraged, with consideration of the consequences it may have on the parasite. |

An increased resistance against drugs used against parasites along with a bigger demand for or-ganic food (with restricted use of drugs) and, a need for increased food security and safety makes it necessary to develop alternative methods to combat parasitic diseases. Using knowledge about how to take advantage of the animals own immune system has proved to be beneficial. To apply this to the breeding goals a wider comprehen-sion is needed. Defining resistance (an animal’s response to decrease the parasite burden), tolerance (an animal’s performance level at an increasing parasite burden) and resilience (an animal’s adaptability to different environments) is a crucial step to improve the animal’s fitness according to our breeding goals. Considering that in-creased tolerance may prevent more parasites to harm the host, further studies of how to improve the animal’s tolerance level should be encouraged, with consideration of the consequences it may have on the parasite. Produktionsdjuren exponeras ständigt för olika parasitinfektioner. Parasiternas ökande resistans mot läkemedel, ökad efterfrågan på ekologisk mat samt behov av ökad livsmedelssäkerhet gör det nödvändigt att utveckla alternativa metoder för att bekämpa parasitsjukdomar. Kunskap om hur djurens immunsystem fungerar har visat sig vara fördelaktigt, men innan tillämpning i praktiken krävs det en djupare förstå-else för de olika sätten immunsystemet kan agera. Därför krävs en djupare defenition av termerna; resesistens (djurets förmåga att minska parasitbelastningen), tolerans (hur väl djuret kan prestera vid ökad parasitbelastning) och motståndskraft (djurets anpassningsförmåga till nya miljöer). Detta kan i längden förenkla att avelsmålen uppnås. Ökad tolerans kan förhindra flera olika parasiter till att skada värden, därför bör ytterligare studier om hur man förbättrar djurens toleransnivå uppmuntras, där konsekvenserna för fortsatt avel i den inriktningen måste beaktas.
