The illegal rearing and slaughtering of pigs in the wild on the Mediterranean island of Sardinia favor an increase in the biomass of Trichinella britovi in wild boars (Sus scrofa) but do not affect the serological prevalence of infection
BackgroundWorms of the nematode genus Trichinella are zoonotic pathogens with a worldwide distribution. The first report of Trichinella on the...
