Epidemiological studies on trichinellosis among swine, wild boars and humans in poland

Abstract

The introduction of the digestion method (the magnetic stirrer type) resulted directly in the reduction of Trichinella sp. infection among people in Poland. Pork and its products are still the main cause of human trichinellosis in Poland. However, epidemics caused by eating wild boar meat suggested that this way of the transmission of Trichinella sp. larvae to humans might be of considerable importance. © PRINCEPS Editions, Paris, 2001.
