Studies on the Incidence of Helminth Parasites in Pigs from South Wales

Extract
During the summer of 1961 an opportunity arose which enabled us to study the incidence of certain helminth parasites in pigs slaughtered at Roath Abattoir, Cardiff. The studies were undertaken primarily because of the apparent lack of incidence figures concerning the helminth parasites in pigs from the southern part of the Principality. Some information was available for other regions of the Principality as Morgan (1924), Jones (1926) and Lewis (1930) have published reports on helminth parasites of pigs from Central and North Wales. Unfortunately none of these papers provided any comparative data on incidence of the various helminths, the numbers of each species in each infection and the proportion of sexes for each helminth in a given population.
