=== '''''OESOPHAGOSTOMUM'' SPECIES''' ===
*a typical strongyloid
*found in the caecum and colon
*approximately 1.5cm long
*two major species but these are very similar
*a periparturient egg-rise occurs, but this is not as constant as that seen in sheep
*not very pathogenic, but large numbers depress milk production in sows and growth-rate in young pigs.
'''The [[Thin Sow Syndrome]]'''
'''NOTE''': ''[[Hyostrongylus rubidis|H. rubidis]]'' and ''Oesophagostomum'' species both produce typical [[Strongyle|strongyle]] eggs in faeces. ''H. rubidis'' is more pathogenic but produces few eggs, whereas ''Oesophagostomum'' species are prolific egg-layers but not very pathogenic. Care is therefore needed in interpreting egg-count data. Larval culture is needed to confirm presence of ''H. rubidis''.
