“…Eslahi et al (2022) performed a systematic review and meta-analysis on the global prevalence of trichinellosis in domestic pigs, analysing 21 cross-sectional studies in pigs from 17 different countries: pooled seroprevalence was 4.3% (95% CI: 1.1%-9.4%), ranging from 0% in Colombia (Pulido-Villamarín et al, 2019) and Korea (Kim et al, 2015) to 13.4% (25/186) in Nigeria (Ojodale et al, 2015). Since the extensive farming system in which Iberian pigs are raised allowed coexistence of pigs and wild boar in the same habit, transmission from wild boar to Iberian pigs could be possible, as suggested by Papatsiros et al (2020) from their study in Greece and by Kärssin et al (2021), analysing wild and game animals in Estonia. However, in the connection from sylvatic to domestic cycle, some authors have highlighted the role of other sylvatic host as rats (Bilska-Zajac et al, 2018) and red foxes (Pozio, Lo Presti, et al, 2021).…”

AimsA cross‐sectional study was carried out to assess the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Trichinella spp. exposure in wild boar and Iberian domestic pigs from Mediterranean ecosystems of southwestern Spain.Methods and ResultsSerum samples from 1360 wild boar and 439 Iberian domestic pigs were obtained during 2015–2020, from regions where Iberian pigs are raised under extensive conditions, hence sharing habitat with wild boar. Seropositivity was found in 7.4% (100/1360; 95% CI: 6.1–8.9) of the wild boar analysed. In this species, the individual seroprevalence ranged from 3.6% (8/223) (hunting season 2016–2017) to 11.4% (37/326) (2018–2019). A significant higher seropositivity was observed during the hunting season 2018–2019 (p < 0.009: OR = 3.07; 95% CI = 1.32–7.18) and one statistically significant cluster was detected within the studied area, in south central Andalusia [Relative Risk (RR) = 2.9; p = 0.037]. Females showed a significantly higher seroprevalence than males (8.7% vs. 5.8%) (p < 0.001: OR = 1.58; 95% CI = 1.08–2.32). No seropositivity to Trichinella spp. was detected in Iberian domestic pigs (0.0%; 95% CI: 0.0–0.9).ConclusionsAlthough wild boar play an important role as a reservoir of Trichinella sp. in the Mediterranean ecosystems of southwestern Spain, our results suggest that the wild boar production system does not seem to pose a risk of Trichinella exposure to domestic pigs, despite sharing habitats in these ecosystems.

“…A number of articles were identified that reported infection across the septentrional countries, the most common of which were Russia ( n = 9), Estonia ( n = 8), Latvia ( n = 8), Norway ( n = 6), and Finland ( n = 4). Four Trichinella species were reported in these countries, with T. nativa being particularly important in Russia (Deksne et al., 2016; Gozdzik et al., 2017; Kärssin et al., 2016, 2017, 2021; Kirjušina et al., 2015; Naidenko et al., 2019; Segliņa et al., 2015; Seryodkin, 2015; Seryodkin et al., 2020).…”

The genus Trichinella has a worldwide distribution, infecting people, domestic animals, and wildlife. It includes 13 genotypes, which are geographically delimited; Trichinella is transmitted to people through the ingestion of undercooked meat. Historically, it has been associated with pigs, but most Trichinella species affect wildlife, and cases of trichinellosis due to the consumption of game meat have been emerging. Therefore, it is important to monitor the sources of transmission to domestic animals and humans.The objective of this work was to analyse reports of Trichinella spp. in wild/feral animals around the world to identify the needs of future research in the epidemiology of the sylvatic cycle. A search of studies published until 2021 was conducted using Web of Science and SciELO. In the Palearctic, the most commonly studied hosts were wild boars and red foxes, and hosts with the highest prevalence rates were polar bears and martens. In the Nearctic, red foxes and black bears were the most frequently studied hosts, and the highest prevalence was found for wolverines and brown bears. In the Neotropics, positive reports were only identified in two countries, with wild boars being the most commonly studied species, and armadillos featuring the highest prevalence. In the Afrotropics, Trichinella limits its presence to Sub-Saharan Africa, where lions are the most studied hosts, and spotted hyenas have the highest prevalence. In the Indo-Malaya and Australasia ecozones, information on wildlife is scarce; the Norwegian rat is the most frequently studied host, and the Tasmanian devil has the highest prevalence of infection. In the last decade, research on world wildlife has increased which is associated with more frequent trichinellosis outbreaks caused by the consumption of wild meat. The results suggest the need to increase research in developing countries, particularly where more diverse sources of meat are available for human consumption.

Trichinellosis/Trichinosis is one of the most common zoonotic parasites in the world caused by infection with Trichinella nematodes. The infection occurs after the larvae have been eaten in the muscles of the infected animal. Due to its spread and spread, several outbreaks of trichinosis have occurred around the world, which has caused serious public health problems. The main risk factor for trichinosis is the consumption of raw or undercooked meat from pigs and hunted meat. In the first stage of infection, adults nematode in the intestine can cause transient gastroenteritis, but the most serious symptoms are associated with the larval formation and muscle migration. a study conducted in India to investigate at the clinical and biochemical profile of Trichinella infection stated that clinical symptoms first appeared at 2-3 weeks after consuming pork and the symptoms would gradually disappear at 4-5 weeks, but there were also some who experienced myalgia. Supervision and implementing proper biosecurity in livestock areas by monitoring and surveillance of the risk of Trichinella infection in pig products and their derivatives as well as preventing transmission to humans.
