Trichuris suis is a whipworm; the variations in thickness of the anterior and posterior segments give the parasite the characteristic "whip-like" appearance.Adult females measure 6 to 8 cm and adult males 3 to 4 cm. T. suis eggs are oval (60 × 25 μm) and yellow-brown with bipolar plugs. [1]
Ascaris suum, also known as the large roundworm of pig, is a parasitic nematode that causes ascariasis in pigs.While roundworms in pigs and humans are today considered as two species (A. suum and A. lumbricoides) with different hosts, cross-infection between humans and pigs is possible; some researchers have thus argued they are the same species.

While males only grow up to 15–28 cm in length, the females can grow up to 50 cm in length. They are a white-colored, cylindrical worm and have three large lips. [5] Mating occurs in the small intestine of the equid. The female is able to lay over 170,000 eggs in a day, and 60,000,000 eggs in a year. [5]
Fertile egg as can be seen in a microscope Fertile egg in human faeces (detail) Infertile egg. Ascaris lumbricoides is characterized by its great size. Males are 2–4 mm (0.08–0.2 in) in diameter and 15–31 cm (5.9–12 in) long. The male's posterior end is curved ventrally and has a bluntly pointed tail.
Eggs must reach the gut of mite hosts within 1 day of release otherwise they are desiccated. However, chances of development is very good as soil mites can be so numerous on a pasture that even if only 3% are infected (with 4-13 cysticercoids each), a grazing ruminant may ingest over 2,000 cysticercoids per kilogram of grass.
In this case, the pig liver was used outside the donated body, not inside — a way to create a “bridge” to support failing livers by doing the organ's blood-cleansing work externally, mu
