Question:

What is the nameof the worm found in pigs?


Answers:
With pork most people are worried about the roundworm, Trichinella spiralis.

I believe you are looking at the pig's copulatory organ, which is long, wormlike, and springy.

Don't know what it's called. But that's nasty.

Well it could be that if you are speaking of the organ however if you mean actual worms, there are roundworms, whipworms, nodular worms, threadworms, kidneyworms, and lungwroms. Hope this helps. Here's the website that explains what each type of worm is.

i think you mean the trichina worm
[Trichinella spiralis]
a species of roundworm that can cause Trichinosis [also called trichinellosis, or trichiniasis]
a parasitic disease caused by eating raw or undercooked pork and wild game infected with the worm larvae
it is rare in developed countries due to health and sanitation regulations
