| environmental and human influence on the ecology of trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi in western europe. | surveys on trichinella parasites in domestic and sylvatic animals collected in france, italy, and in the extremadura region of spain showed that the distribution of trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi is influenced by both environmental and human behaviour factors. in france, both trichinella species are prevalent in the fox population from mountain areas and natural parks but are infrequent in wild boars (< 0.001%). in italy, only t. britovi is present in sylvatic animals (foxes, wolve ... | 1996 | 8939049 |
| outbreak of trichinellosis in cáceres, spain, december 2001-february 2002. | an outbreak of trichinellosis by t. britovi occured in cáceres, spain, between 18 december 2001 and 11 february 2002, following the consumption of insufficiently cooked meat from a domestic pig. among the 56 people exposed, 26 cases of trichinellosis were diagnosed, of which 17 serologically confirmed. the mean incubation period was 23.5 days (3-45). among the foodstuffs suspected, salami-type sausages were associated with an attack rate of 93.3% (14/15), and a dose-response relationship was obs ... | 2002 | 12631992 |
| mixed infection, trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi, in a wild boar hunted in the province of cáceres (spain). | the etiological agents of human trichinellosis are distributed worldwide in domestic and wild animals. in spain, two morphologically indistinguishable trichinella species have been described--trichinella spiralis and trichinella britovi--that are perpetuated in both domestic and sylvatic cycles. the present work reports a double natural infection involving these species in a wild boar killed by hunters in the province of cáceres, spain. after artificial digestion of the boar's muscles, nine larv ... | 2008 | 18466901 |
