A large numbers of nucleotide sequences of <em>Strongyloides</em> species have been deposited in GenBank. The vast majority of them are of <em>Strongyloides </em>from human beings, non-human primates, rats and cattle, but there are few molecular data of <em>Strongyloides</em> species isolated from pigs. The aim of this study is to identify <em>Strongyloides</em> species collected from pigs from Bac Giang Province, Vietnam, and analyze their molecular phylogenetic relationship within the genus <em>Strongyloides</em> based on 18S rDNA sequences. The morphological and molecular analyses revealed that the <em>Strongyloides</em> samples collected from pigs from Bac Giang Province, Vietnam, were in fact <em>S. ransomi</em>. The 18S rDNA sequences of <em>S. ransomi</em> from Vietnam were completely identical with that from Cambodia, but slightly different (0.3%) from that of Japan. In comparison to other <em>Strongyloides</em> species, <em>S. ransomi </em>was genetically close to <em>S. venezuelensis</em>.</p><p> </p><p><em>Citation: </em>Nguyen Thi Giang, Tran Duc Hoan, Nguyen Thi Thu Huyen, Nguyen Thi Kim Lan, Phạm Ngọc Doanh, 2017.
