3.3.1. Trichinella britovi in Europe

Trichinella britovi in wildlife from Europe has been extensively studied, especially in wild boar, the most consumed game meat source implicated in trichinellosis in Europe ( Table 13). Trichinella britovi is most commonly reported in wild boar and red fox, but has also been reported in other canids, felids, mustelids, beavers ( Castor fiber ), brown bears ( Ursus arctos ), and rats ( Table 12). In Northern and Northeastern Europe, T. britovi occurs sympatrically with T. nativa and mixed infections have been reported ( Pozio, 2016a). Human infections with T. britovi occur frequently in Europe ( Table 13).
