Sažetak
In the Republic of Croatia both sylvatic and rural infection cycles of spreading the Trichinella are known. Rural trichinellosis, caused by Trichinella spiralis, is primary infection of domestic swine, and rats are the main carriers. During the 1990-ies its frequency was very high, which resulted in the increased number of people reported to be infected. Eradication of rural trichinelosis has been prescribed following the regulations and systematic monitoring. Sylvatic trichinellosis exists latently, with T. spiralis and T. britovi as the main etiological factors. Up today it is being proved in wild boar, bear and badger. The meat of these animals is also consumed by the people, which is potential risk for the health. Sylvatic Trichinella infection has been confirmed in red fox and wolf, wild animals which enables retainability and dissemination of the infection in nature. The researches are indicating constant presence of sylvatic Trichinella infection in aforementioned wild animal species. They are key factor in retaining and transmission of the sylvatic trichinellosis in the natural ecosystems in Croatia. Sylvatic trichinellosis has not been surveyed in details so far, only in the selected animal species, and mainly the frequency of Trichinella sp. has been determined. Issues like the invasion intensity or genetical typification was neglected. In order to identify areas with presence of the sylvatic trichinellosis, there is strong need for establishing monitoring of shooted and dead carnivoric and omnivoric wild animals. Thus it would be possible to eradicate it, and to stop the transmission between wild and domestic animals.
