Epidemiology of human and animal trichinellosis in Italy since its discovery in 1887

The epidemiology of trichinellosis In Italy is characterised by a sylvatic cycle present only on the mainland. The domestic cycle probably never existed, though a domestic focus occurred on the island of Sicily between 1933 and 1946. The red fox is the main reservoir, with the prevalence of infectio...

The red fox is the main reservoir, with the prevalence of infection ranging from 0.0 % in lowlands to 6 0 % in the Alps. The main etiological agent is Trichinella britovi. Trichinella pseudospiralis has been detected in two birds.
