title: Immunity of swine to Ascaris suum.
abstract: Swine were hyperimmunized to Ascaris suum by giving multiple oral inoculations of embryonated eggs. Sera and lymphocyte lysate from these pigs were administered parenterally to 4-week-old pigs. The latter animals were no more resistant to larval migration than control pigs receiving sera or lymphocyte lysate from non-immunized pigs. Other pigs were infected with transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus, allowed to recover and challenged with embryonated ascarid eggs. They likewise were no more resistant to ascarid larval migration than control pigs.
