3.4.2. Trichinella pseudospiralis in Asia and Oceania

In Asia and Oceania, there has only been two genotyped reports of T. pseudospiralis in wildlife, in a ringed seal ( Pusa hispida ) in the Russian far-east and in a tiger quoll ( Dasyurus maculatus ) from Tasmania ( Table 18) (Go´zdzik et al., 2017; La Rosa et al., 1992). However, in Thailand and Australia / New Zealand, there have been two reports of human infections with T. pseudospiralis from game meat consumption, indicating endemicity of T. pseudospiralis ( Table 19). The dearth of

reports on T. pseudospiralis in Asia and Oceania could be attributed to the lack of surveillance. Further surveillance is warranted, especially regarding the role of migratory birds in the epidemiology and global transmission of T. pseudospiralis .
