pigs.
Ascariasis is
associated with contact
to pigs and pig manure.
Tapeworm/Cestodes

reducing risk for
infections.
Flukes are soft,
flattened, leaf like worms
that exist in various
parts of the animals
which they parasitize.
Liver flukes in swine are
found
only where the animals
are kept on low, swampy
ground.
Nodular worm
parasitism usually only
occurs in pigs raised in
open lots or pasture but
can rarely occur in
confinement-raised pigs,
including those without
exposure to soil.
Hookworm
infection is mainly
acquired by walking
barefoot on
contaminated soil.
Trichuris suis (whip
worm) is a parasite of
the large intestine that
causes diarrhea,
sometimes containing
blood and mucus. This
diarrhea slows pig
growth and may cause
weight loss..
