| Abstract: |
Trichinosis is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by nematodes of the genus Trichinella (1). In Spain, Trichinella spiralis and Trichinella britovi are highly prevalent in wildlife but seldom encountered in domestic pigs. In the epidemiology, wild and domestic cycles are identified. Humans acquire the infection by the consumption of raw or semi- -raw meat and meat derived products from domestic and wild swine, carnivores and horses (2). Recent reports suggest that human infections from hunted animals are on the rise worldwide, in particular caused by T. Spiralis and T. britovi. In 2014, T. pseudospiralis larvae were isolated from a wild boar in Girona (Catalonia)(3). The aim of this study is to analyze the presence of Trichinella spp. in wild boar and other wild mammals from Catalonia. |
