“…This location is only 159 km from a T. pseudospiralis domestic focus in Michalovce, Slovakia (Hurníková et al 2005) and 181 km from a T. pseudospiralis sylvatic focus in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg in Hungary (Széll et al 2008). The next nearest T. pseudospiralis sylvatic focuses are located about 395 km away in the village of Medgyesbodzás-Gábortelep in Hungary and 436 km away in the village of Kapelna (Donji Miholjac district) (Beck et al 2009). A non-encapsulated Trichinella focus was also found near the north-west border with Poland (Zirchow, Usedom island in Macklenburg-Western Pomerania) about 637 km from Nowy Targ (Nöckler et al 2006).…”

Nematode worms of the genus Trichinella are one of the most widespread zoonotic pathogens. Natural transmission between hosts can only occur through the ingestion of infected meat. To date, two Trichinella species are known to be etiological agents of disease among domestic animals and wildlife in Poland: T. spiralis and T. britovi. In the last decades, since the administration of an oral vaccination against rabies, the red fox population in Poland has increased exponentially. The study area covers the Nowy Targ region: a mountainous area (585-1138 m above the sea) in southern Poland. Of 24 red foxes examined in the study, four were infected with Trichinella isolates: three were identified as T. britovi and one as T. pseudospiralis. The muscle of red foxes infected with T. britovi harboured 2.75, 3.11, 4.4 LPG and with T. pseudospiralis 0.36 LPG. Trichinella larvae were identified at species level by genomic and mitochondrial multiplex PCR, the products of which were sequenced for comparison with other sequences available in GenBank. The sequences obtained from the Polish T. pseudospiralis isolate, deposited in GenBank under the accession numbers JQ809660.1 and JQ809661.1, matched sequences already published in GenBank. Sequence comparison showed a 100% match with the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene of T. pseudospiralis isolate ISS 013, and a 96-95% match with those of T. pseudospiralis isolates ISS 141 and ISS 470. This is the first report of the identification of T. pseudospiralis larvae from red fox in Poland.

“…infection in domestic pigs was documented from 1995from to 1999from (up to 0.16% in 1999from , Marinculic et al 2001. Although in this century the prevalence rate showed a significant decrease as a result of intensive eradication program that was performed in Croatia, the Trichinella infection has occasionally been detected in domestic pigs near the BiH border and continues to circulate among the wild life (Balic 2014, Beck et al (2009a documented T. pseudospiralis in a domestic pig reared near the river Sava in Croatia. T. pseudospiralis can infect both mammals and birds (Pozio and Zarlenga, 2013).…”

The Balkans is endemic for nematodes of the genus Trichinella in both domestic and wild animals. The high prevalence of these zoonotic pathogens in animals linked with the food habits to consume raw meat and meat derived products resulted in a very high prevalence of trichinellosis in humans living in this European region. In spite of numerous epidemiological investigations carried out in this region, very few information is available on the Trichinella species circulating in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Trichinella spp. larvae were isolated from a domestic pig reared in a backyard and from a hunted wild boar whose meat had been the source of trichinellosis in one case. Both Trichinella pseudospiralis and T. spiralis have been identified in the domestic pig, whereas, T. britovi was detected in the wild boar. While, T. spiralis is the Trichinella species most frequently detected in domestic pigs, T. pseudospiralis has been previously documented in domestic pigs only three times in Russia, Slovakia and Croatia. The detection of T. britovi in the wild boar confirms that this nematode is the most frequent species circulating among wildlife of Europe.

“…T. pseudospiralis can also infect birds; the European cases include: Common buzzard (Buteo buteo) (4), rook (Corvus frugilegus) (27), tawny owl (Strix aluco), and little owl (Athene noctua) (21). Although T. pseudospiralis can be considered a sylvatic species, the recent discovery of this parasite in domestic pigs in Russia, Slovakia, and Croatia (1,3,8,9,19,26) suggests that this parasite can be transmitted to the domestic environment and should be considered as a potential risk for humans.…”

Introduction: The paper describes identification of Trichinella species isolated from wild boars (Sus scrofa) in the most popular hunting region of the West Pomeranian Province of Poland. Material and Methods: The Trichinella larvae were identified by digestion method. For species identification of the larvae, multiplex PCR was used according to the European Reference Laboratory for Parasites Multiplex PCR protocol. The results were confirmed by molecular amplification of 5S rDNA gene and sequence analysis. Results: Prevalence of 0.54% Trichinella-positive wild boars in the West Pomeranian Province was recorded. Examination of the larvae showed the occurrence of T. spiralis in 79 %, T. britovi in 16.5 %, mixed infection with T. spiralis/T. britovi in 3.5%, and T. pseudospiralis in 1.0% of the boars. Conclusion: This is the first record of wild boar infected with non-encapsulated larvae of T. pseudospiralis in Poland. The species is very difficult to determine, especially using trichinoscopic method. The discovery of the larvae in the animals which may be intended for human consumption confirms that digestion technique should be the only method used for the inspection of meat, especially that from wild boars..
