title: Trichinellosis in swine and wild boars in Poland from 1993 to 1998.
abstract: The prevalence of Trichinella sp. among 97, 193, 480 swine and 309,040 wild boars was determined by artificial digestion method. Pork meat was about 6 times less infected with Trichinella sp. in the years 1997-1998 than in the years 1993-1994. In the years 1993-1994 894 positive Trichinella sp. cases (prevalence--0.0029%) in pork meat were established. The prevalence of Trichinella larvae infection in pork meat in the years 1997-1998 was 0.00030%--larvae were found in 141 cases, only.
