*This is a sporadic condition that is most often seen when the cyclical pig industry is in an economic trough.
*It is associated with, but not caused by, ''Oesophagostomum''.
*It is primarily a nutritional problem leading to the following sequence of events:
**if quantity of feed offered is inadequate for batch-fed sows, hungry individuals are more vulnerable to infection and likely to eat bedding (and infective larvae)
**acquire large worm burdens
**intestinal damage and large numbers of eggs excreted
**larger numbers of L3 in bedding
**downward spiral: more and more intestinal damage
**excessive loss of weight during lactation
**the thin sow syndrome.[[Category:Pig_Nematodes]]
