Brief Communication Trichinella britovi in Domestic Pig - a Case Report By T. Jarvis1 1. Miller1 and E. Pozio2 department of Parasitology Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Estonian Agricultural University and 2Laboratory of Parasitology Institute Superiore di Sanita Italy. Trichinellosis is a widespread parasitic disease caused by different genotypes of Trichinella. It is common in animals and can spread from its reservoir in wild animals to synanthropic animals domestic animals and people. Different transmission patterns have been documented Campbell 1988 . They range from those in which humans do not play any role to those in which improper human behaviour is the only cause of transmission Pozio 1998 Casulli et al. 2001 . The infection pressure of the parasite biomass present in sylvatic animals and human malpractice in animal husbandry together can easily favour the transmission of Trichinella from the wild to the domestic habitat Pozio 2001 . The growing importance of sylvatic species in the persistence and re-emergence of trichinellosis in many regions was emphasized at the 10th International Conference on Tri-chinellosis Dupouy-Camet et al. 2001 . Few cases of finding of Trichinella britovi in domestic pigs are known Serrano et al. 1998 . This study deals with a case of pig trichinellosis in Estonia due to Trichinella britovi and makes an attempt to elucidate the transmission patterns in the actual case. At the end of 1994 routine meat inspection diagnosed trichinellosis in 3 hogs of 8-15 months of age from the Lõpe co-operative on the island of Hiiumaa. At the beginning of 1995 trichinel-losis was diagnosed in one sow of the age of one year and 8 months on the same farm. Muscle samples from 2 of these 4 pigs pig 1-9-month-old sow and pig 2-20-month-old sow were submitted for thorough investigation at the department of parasitology of the Estonian Agricultural University. The other 2 positive pigs had been burned already. .
