Trichinella shows a worldwide distribution because of its wide range of hosts, including humans and pigs [ 2 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Meanwhile, pork is still considered the major source of outbreaks of trichinellosis in humans in China [ 4 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Roundworm infection in dogs and the hookworm in dogs is of particular health significance in Central Europe, as they can also be transmitted to humans (zoonosis). (wikipedia.org)
First described in 1990, R. felis infections have been reported to occur worldwide in fleas, mammals, and humans. (cdc.gov)
Trichinellosis, also known as trichinosis (Trich from Greek thrix meaning hair), is an infection caused by nematodes of the genus Trichinella , most commonly T spiralis in humans. (medscape.com)
Pigs2
The high seroprevalence of Trichinella infection in field samples of Tibetan pigs further raises serious concern for the prevention and control of trichinellosis in this host for public health safety. (biomedcentral.com)
By the 1860s, trichinellosis was well-recognized as a disorder spread through infected pigs, leading to a cultural aversion to certain pork products, particularly German and Dutch sausage. (medscape.com)
Zoonotic2
Trichinellosis is also considered an emerging or re-emerging zoonotic disease in China, where approximately more than 40 million people could be at risk of infection [ 8 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
An occupational history, obtained in some detail, can provide important information on those zoonotic agents to which an individual may have been exposed. (scienceopen.com)
Routes2
However, they often form persistent stages (stages in which the larvae persist in the tissue) in the tissue, which are important for the other two routes of infection. (wikipedia.org)
The risk for reintroduction of some exotic vector-borne diseases in Europe has become a hot topic, while the reality of others is neglected at the public health policy level. (cdc.gov)
Geopolitical and cultural factors, such as increases in global movement of food products and persons, particularly with various exotic tourism activities, evolving into the 21st century are leading to a resurgence of human infections in areas that have been free of infection for decades. (medscape.com)
Areas3
Examples include the lack of plague transmission outside endemic areas, countries that are free of brucellosis, and the limitation of tularemia to the northern hemisphere. (scienceopen.com)
[ 79 ] These changes in the distribution of the various trichinellae and the attendant risk of consumption has particular relevance to Emergency Medicine because people may present to emergency departments in areas with little or no presence of trichinellosis locally, having contracted it while travelling, and because early diagnosis is associated with improved treatment outcomes.

Infection1
Infection occurs perorally by ingestion of eggs from contaminated (polluted) food or via collective hosts such as rodents, birds, reptiles, or arthropods. (wikipedia.org)
In addition to the public health problem of trichinellosis, the economic losses caused by T. spiralis are huge. (biomedcentral.com)
Countries1
Leishmaniasis is endemic in all southern countries of Europe, with ≈700 autochthonous human cases reported each year (3,950 if Turkey is included). (cdc.gov)
Wild1
Many human outbreaks reported in recent years across Europe, Asia, and North and South America were reportedly due to consumption of wild boar meat which is currently the second most important source of human trichinellosis [ 5 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
The single most important causative factor is the consumption of inadequately cooked, infected meat. (medscape.com)
Vector-borne2
The risk for reintroduction of some exotic vector-borne diseases in Europe has become a hot topic, while the reality of others is neglected at the public health policy level. (cdc.gov)
Canine vector-borne disease (CVBD) has been an area of increasing interest in Europe over the last few decades, and there have been changes in the prevalence and distribution of many of these diseases. (biomedcentral.com)
Vectors2
Increasingly, there is fear that climate change may cause vectors to be more important for animal husbandry i. (biomedcentral.com)
Ticks and mosquitoes are biologic vectors for many zoonoses. (netce.com)
Trichinosis1
Trichinosis is a parasitic infection with worldwide distribution, which is caused by consuming pork or other meats containing cystic larvae of the parasitic nematode Trichinella Spiralis. (bvsalud.org)
Diseases1
Several zoonoses have been known and documented as animal-to-human diseases from much earlier times. (netce.com)
Consumption2
We describe a small family outbreak of trichinellosis caused by the consumption of raw ham from a wild boar (Sus scrofa) hunted in the northern Alps of France in February 2022. (bvsalud.org)

Risk2
The local distribution of helminths in dogs and cats and the evaluation of risk of contamination represent an important challenge for veterinarians due to their effects on animal health and their potential zoo. (biomedcentral.com)
Subsistence hunting, gathering, food preparation and preservation methods may also place people at risk for acquiring zoonotic infections. (cdc.gov)
