Abstract

Nematodes of the genus Trichinella are important zoonotic parasites present throughout Romania. This study aimed to assess the status of Trichinella species in wild animals in Romania over the past 30 years. A literature review of original studies concerning the only two species (out of the four in Europe) of Trichinella (T. spiralis and T. britovi) confirmed in wildlife from Romania was conducted and corroborated with the results of our original research concerning the topic. This review article has shown that, in Romania, European minks were infected with T. spiralis, while wolves, European wild cats, Eurasian lynx, golden jackals, stone marten, and European badgers were infected with T. britovi, respectively. Both Trichinella species have been identified in foxes, bears, wild boars, and ermines, but mixed infections have been found only in European polecats. Trichinella infection is still significantly present in Romania, infecting several wild omnivorous and carnivorous species in an equal manner, with different prevalence rates over the years. Regarding the spatial distribution of T. spiralis and T. britovi in Romania, both species can be found all over the country, but in wild animals, T. britovi is the most prevalent.

罗马尼亚野生动物旋毛虫感染研究进展

旋毛虫属线虫是罗马尼亚境内重要的人畜共患寄生虫。本研究旨在评估过去30年来罗马尼亚野生动物中旋毛虫的种类状况。我们对罗马尼亚野生动物中仅有的两种(欧洲四种)旋毛虫(T. spiralis和T. britovi)的原始研究进行了文献综述，并与我们关于该主题的原始研究结果相证实。这篇综述文章表明，在罗马尼亚，欧洲水貂感染了螺旋体，狼、欧洲野猫、欧亚猞猁、金豺、石貂和欧洲獾分别感染了布氏体。这两种旋毛虫都在狐狸、熊、野猪和貂身上被发现，但混合感染只在欧洲的鼬身上被发现。旋毛虫感染在罗马尼亚仍然显著存在，以相同的方式感染几种野生杂食性和食肉性物种，多年来患病率不同。在罗马尼亚，螺旋体和布氏体的空间分布在全国各地均有分布，但在野生动物中以布氏体最为普遍。

期刊介绍： Food and Waterborne Parasitology publishes high quality papers containing original research findings, investigative reports, and scientific proceedings on parasites which are transmitted to humans via the consumption of food or water. The relevant parasites include protozoa, nematodes, cestodes and trematodes which are transmitted by food or water and capable of infecting humans. Pertinent food includes products of animal or plant origin which are domestic or wild, and consumed by humans. Animals and plants from both terrestrial and aquatic sources are included, as well as studies related to potable and other types of water which serve to harbor, perpetuate or disseminate food and waterborne parasites. Studies dealing with prevalence, transmission, epidemiology, risk assessment and mitigation, including control measures and test methodologies for parasites in food and water are of particular interest. Evidence of the emergence of such parasites and interactions among domestic animals, wildlife and humans are of interest. The impact of parasites on the health and welfare of humans is viewed as very important and within scope of the journal. Manuscripts with scientifically generated information on associations between food and waterborne parasitic diseases and lifestyle, culture and economies are also welcome. Studies involving animal experiments must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences.
