Abstract
Systematic studies on the helminth parasites of pigs in India have appeared in papers by Maplestone (1930), Maplestone and Bhaduri (1937, 1942), Bhalerao (1924, 1931, 1935), Baylis (1939), Mudaliar and Gopalakrishnan (1938), Buckley (1939), Chatterjee (1939), Mukerjee (1945, 194G, 1948), Wolfgang (1953), Peter (1954). Srivastava and Peter (1954), Varma (1954), Ramanujachari and Alwar (1954), Sinha and Srivastava (1956), Thapar (1956), Sinha (1957), Alwar (1958) and Ahluwalia (1959, a, b; 1960, a, b, c). These studies are mostly in regard to the infestations encountered among pigs from scattered areas in India. Maplestone, Bhalerao and Baylis in their work have, however, compiled all the then available reports and also given brief descriptions of the species known to parasitise Indian pigs.
