A case report of swine kidney worm infection in a wild feral pig.
Korean Journal of Veterinary Research, 2002, Vol.42, No.1, 109-113
This is the first case report of Stephanurus dentatus infection of a feral pig in Korea Republic. In late April 2000, a weakened feral pig was caught by blow gun from a very low level mountain near the Gyeongsang National University. We autopsied the feral pig in the laboratory of veterinary anatomy at the College of Veterinary Medicine. A total of 27 adult parasites, 11 females and 16 males, and numerous eggs were observed from the cysts formed in the perirenal tissues and ureters. The average size of males was 25.1 plus or minus 3.2 mm long and of the females was 34.2 plus or minus 2.9 mm. The worms were stout, the females being about 2 mm broad and the internal organs were partly visible through the cuticle. The shape of thin-shelled eggs found in the cysts of perirenal tissues and ureter was ellipsoidal and oval and measured 40-65 x 90-115 micro m. The adult parasites were found in cysts which varied from 0.6 to 4 cm in diameter, each cyst usually containing a pair of adult worms embedded in green pus. The ureter was thickened and almost occluded, with consequent hydronephrosis.
