3.4.1. Trichinella pseudospiralis in Europe

Trichinella pseudospiralis has been reported in seven bird species and eight terrestrial mammals in 13 countries across Europe ( Table 16). Trichinella pseudospiralis is commonly reported in wild boars which are the most common wildlife source of human trichinellosis in Europe ( Tables 2, 13 and 16). One outbreak in humans was reported in 1999 in France, with undercooked wild boar meat as the source ( Ranque et al., 2000) ( Table 17).
