  • Title: Trichinella surveillance in black bears (Ursus americanus) from Oregon, USA.
    Author: Mortenson JA, Kent ML, Fowler DR, Chomel BB, Immell DA.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 2014 Jan; 50(1):133-5. PubMed ID: 24171562.
    Abstract:
    We used serology and muscle digestion to test black bears (Ursus americanus) from western Oregon, USA, for Trichinella. Results indicate black bears in Oregon are not part of a sylvatic cycle for Trichinella, and risk of human exposure to Trichinella larvae from eating black bear meat from Oregon appears low.
