Extract

The presence of five nematodes previously unknown in the British pig population is reported i.e. Globocephalus urosubulatus, Oesophagostomum quadrispinulatum and three species of Trichostrongylus. T. vitrinus is recorded for the first time from Sus scrofa domestica. The gastro-intestinal strongylates were encountered most frequently in older animals and were especially numerous in the spring and early summer, whilst the incidence of Ascaris suum and Trichuris suis declined with the increasing age of the host.
