  • Title: Trichinella nativa in sylvatic wild boars.
    Author: Pozio E, Kapel CM.
    Journal: J Helminthol; 1999 Mar; 73(1):87-9. PubMed ID: 10431373.
    Abstract:
    Of 17 Trichinella isolates from domestic pigs and wild boars (Sus scrofa) in regions where Trichinella nativa is widespread among sylvatic animals, two wild boars from Estonia were found to be naturally infected with this Trichinella species. The other 15 animals were infected with Trichinella spiralis. Trichinella nativa is tolerant to freezing when in the muscles of carnivores. The biological characteristics and temperature tolerance of this species in swine need to be further investigated if pork is certified for consumption following freezing.
