title: Screening for Trichinella britovi infection in red fox (Vulpes vulpes) and wild boar (Sus scrofa) in southeastern France.
abstract: From 2006 to 2009 we screened 108 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and 894 wild boars (Sus scrofa) in Haut-Var, France for Trichinella britovi infection. Prevalences were 2.7 and 0% respectively. The fox may be considered a predictive sentinel for Trichinella in the Haut-Var ecosystem.
