== Lungworms of Pigs ==
=== '''''METASTRONGYLUS'' species''' ===
*Found in the bronchioles and smaller bronchi.
*Three species, but these are all very similar.
*Look like the ''Dictyocaulus'' species in ruminants and produce similar pathology.
*Very pathogenic and can cause severe lung damage.
*Even low level infections will check growth.
*Immunity develops quickly.
*Larvated eggs with a wavy outline passed in faeces.
*Intermediate host is the earthworm, therefore this only '''affects outdoor pigs'''.
*Becoming more common with the trend towards free-range husbandry.
*Infection occurs when the earthworm is eaten.
*Larvae migrate via the mesenteric lymph nodes to the lungs.
