Abstract
Shope (1, 2) reported that Metastrongylus spp. under specific conditions have the capacity to transmit swine influenza virus to pigs. Since the authors are not aware of published confirmation of Shope's observations by other laboratories, experiments in which swine influenza virus was transmitted by infected lungworms in pathogen-free, antibody-devoid pigs are here reported.
