Abstract

In the survey on the pig-stomach worms of the abattoir pigs in Gyeongbug province, some unusual nematodes were found by gross and microscopic inspection to the pig-stomach. The results obtained in the survey and identification were summarized as follows. 1. A natural infection of Anisakis type larvae in the pig gastric wall was newly confirmed in korea and in all cases, the larvae were identified as Anisakis type 1 (Berland, 1961). 2. A chronic granulomatous lesion with small lymphocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils was appeared in the gastric wall penetrated by the larvae. 3. Of total 318 pigs, 9 pigs were infected with the larvae and in each stomach, only one or two worms were detected from the abattoir pigs. 4. Ascarops strongylina was found as one percent.
