A survey was carried out on swine ascaridiasis in a slaughterhouse of the Province of Cremona during two years. Among 90000 fattened pigs, 3.2% were found positive for A. suum. The highest prevalence was recorded in autumn (3.7%), the lowest in spring (2.7%). Lack of recurrent disinfections, of climatization, of all-in, all-out policy are associated with higher prevalences.
