Abstract
Metastrongylus sp. is a lungworm with worldwide distribution in wild boars and other suids. In Switzerland, two wild boar populations are geographically divided by the Alps. We investigated 84 wild boars, 52 from north and 32 from south of the Alps, different in sex and age (juveniles, subadults, adults), shot between September and December 2018. The lungs were macroscopically examined and dissected for the detection of Metastrongylus specimens. Additionally, faecal samples were obtained from 55 animals and analysed by sedimentation/f
