Between 1971 and 1975, Fascioloides magna was found in 46 of 67 (69%) feral swine (Sus scrofa) in southern Texas. Flukes were recovered from swine in areas where F. magna commonly has been recovered from white-tailed deer and cattle. One to 12 flukes were recovered from each infected animal. Their presence was indicated by black hematin pigment on the liver and various other internal organs. Eggs were not detected in the gallbladder or feces of infected animals although mature flukes and eggs were recovered in the livers suggesting that, like cattle, feral swine can be infected but are aberrant hosts for the parasite and do not disseminate eggs.
1971年至1975年间，在得克萨斯州南部67头野猪（野猪）中的46头（69%）体内发现了巨片形吸虫。在通常能从白尾鹿和牛体内发现巨片形吸虫的地区，从猪体内也发现了吸虫。每只受感染动物体内发现1至12条吸虫。肝脏和其他各种内脏上的黑色血色素表明了它们的存在。尽管在肝脏中发现了成熟的吸虫和虫卵，但在受感染动物的胆囊或粪便中未检测到虫卵，这表明，与牛一样，野猪可以被感染，但对于这种寄生虫来说是异常宿主，不会传播虫卵。
