Trichinellosis in Slovakia – epidemiological situation in humans and animals (2009–2018)

Abstract: Introduction. Trichinella spp. are zoonotic parasitic nematodes with almost worldwide distribution. The infection can be transmitted through the foodborne route and can cause serious health problems in infected human patients. It is also an economically important issue due to the high financial cost connected with prevention of the disease. Objective. The study aimed to discover trends in the epidemiological situation in people and animals in Slovakia in 2009-2018. Materials and method. Data on human trichinel… Show more

“…Similarly, males were more vulnerable to infection (13.73%) than females (5.13%). This was coordinated with the findings reported by several researchers [28,36,37]. Contrary to the achieved results, several authors recorded a higher prevalence of trichinellosis in females than males [19,35].…”

“…spiralis is the most pathogenic to humans [ 1 ]. Approximately 10,000 people are reported to suffer from trichinellosis every year in countries around the world [ 2 ], for example, Italy [ 3 ], Romania [ 4 ], Slovakia [ 5 ], Canada [ 6 ], China [ 7 ], Vietnam [ 8 ], and Ghana [ 9 ]. The clinical manifestations of trichinellosis occur within two phases: the enteric phase and parenteral phase [ 1 2 ].…”

“…Nevertheless, the prevalence found in wild boars in Europe may be characterized as low, as it has been found less than 1% in all cases. In some of the most recent, wide-range epizootiological surveys in Europe where AD methods were implemented, hundreds or thousands of wild boars were examined (in most cases these surveys were analysis of national authorities' records); the prevalence of infection was 0.1% in Portugal [48], 0.17% in Croatia [49], 0.04% in Slovakia [50], 0% in Denmark [51], and 0.51% in Poland [52]. In a survey similar to the present study, conducted in Italy, diaphragm muscle samples of 100 wild boars hunted in two hunting seasons were examined, and none (0%) was found positive to Trichinella larvae [53].…”
