3.8.1. Trichinella T 8 in Africa

To date, Trichinella T8 has only been reported in wildlife from two countries, Namibia and South Africa in three species: the spotted hyena, lion, and leopard ( Table 26) ( La Rosa et al., 1992; Marucci et al., 2009; Pozio et al., 1994). Trichinella T8 remains a recognized but unnamed genotype, as its relationship with T. britovi has not been fully elucidated. ( Pozio et al., 2005b, 2009a; Pozio and Murrell, 2006). To date, there have been no reports of Trichinella T8 infections in humans.
