Trichinella circulate in populations of wild predatory animal land and water ecosystems, among the sinantropic and pets, and also animals of cellular cultivation, when conducting traditional economic activity of indigenous people which promotes maintenance natural the center. The main ways of transfer Trichinella in populations of animals are necrofagiya, predatoriness and cannibal-ism with the participation of numerous animals-disseminators. The Arctic isolates of Trichinella are characterized by specific signs thanks to which they adapted for low temperatures and other abiotic factors.
