==Identification==

''H. rubidis'' are red worms.  The females are larger than the males at around 10mm in length.  Males have a well developed bursa.

''H. rubidis'' are red worms of the superfamily [[Trichostrongyloidea]].  The females are larger than the males at around 10mm in length.  Males have a well developed bursa.

==Life Cycle==

==Life Cycle==

Infection of the host is via ingestion of L3.  The larvae may become hypobiotic; resuming development when the sow begins lactation.  The larvae mature, and adults develop.  These reside in the glandular part of the stomach, and produce eggs, which are passed out in the host faeces.

''H. rubidis'' is very similar to ''Ostertagia'' (which does not occur in pigs) in appearance, life-cycle, epidemiology and pathogenesis, but pigs do not develop any useful immunity.
