Trichinella infections in wildlife in the Czech Republic
Original language description
Trichinellosis is a foodborne zoonotic disease caused by the consumption of raw meat and raw meat-derived products from animals infected with nematode worms of the genus Trichinella. In Europe, the parasite was more prevalent in wildlife than in farmed animals and wildlife animals serve as the major reservoir hosts. Between years 2001 and 2012, almost 1,33 million wild boar were hunted and of them 0,887 million wild boars (Sus scrofa) (66,7 %) were tested for Trichinella sp. in the Czech Republic. Trichinella infection was demonstrated in 16 wild boars (0,0018 %). Although the prevalence of Trichinella sp. infection in wild boars is very low, the spatial analysis reveals that the level of risk differs by region in the Czech Republic. Larvae from wild boars were identified as T. britovi (75 %), T. spiralis (6,25 %) and T. pseudospiralis (18,75 %); no mixed infection was not found.
